the frequency and STEP will appear on the transmitter below the frequency.

key. Once the
asterisk (*) has been removed from the display, press the
key to send the

CALSafe
GPS equipped RD8100 locators models are equipped with a system which can be
enabled to force them to shut down once they are beyond the expected service /
calibration date.
When the unit is within 30 days of the service due date the unit will display at startup the
number of days left. The locator will stop functioning on the service due date.
CALSafe is disabled by default. You can enable the CALSafe feature and edit the
CALSafe service / calibration due date using the RD Manager PC software. Refer to the
RD Manager operation manual for further information.
