Before you begin
IMPORTANT!
This guide is intended to be a quick reference guide. We recommend you read the
full operation manual before you attempt to operate the RD7200 locator.
First use
The RD7200 locators and transmitters can be powered by D-cell alkaline batteries, D-cell
NiMH batteries, or by an accessory Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack.
To fit the D cell batteries in the locator, open the battery compartment and insert two
D-Cell Alkaline or NiMH batteries, taking care to align the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals as indicated.
To fit the D cell batteries in the transmitter, unlatch the accessory tray. The battery
compartment is located underneath the transmitter body. Use the turnkey to unlatch the
battery compartment. Insert eight D-Cell Alkaline or NiMH batteries, taking care to align
the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals as indicated.
Alternatively, you can power the transmitter from a mains or vehicle power source using a
Radiodetection supplied optional accessory adapter.
Rechargeable battery packs
Lithium-Ion battery packs are available for both locators and transmitters, providing
superior performance over traditional alkaline batteries. To fit these rechargeable packs,
follow the instructions provided with each pack.
System setup
It is important that you set up the system according to regional / operational requirements
and your personal preferences before you conduct your first survey. You can set the
