NOTE: Certain operating modes and/or frequencies tax the batteries more than others. It is possible
for the battery indicator to indicate different levels of charge while operating in different
modes/frequencies. If the LED flashes RED consistently in most operating modes the batteries should
be replaced.
Transmitter Jack
This jack is used to connect the conductive clips or the optional inductive clamp to the transmitter. The
unit automatically detects what accessory has been plugged in and adjusts its operation and indicators
accordingly.
NOTE: It is recommended that you turn the transmitter's power OFF before removing or inserting
accessories from/into the jack.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT CONDUCTIVE CLIPS TO LIVE POWER LINES! THIS IS A HAZARDOUS
PRACTICE AND CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE TRANSMITTER. IF YOU ARE
CONNECTING TO DEAD POWER LINES, MAKE PROVISIONS TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL
ACTIVATION OF POWER TO THE LINES.
Transmitter Time Out
The transmitter will turn itself off after approximately 85 minutes without receiving a status request from
the receiver via the RF Link.
Car Battery Adapter (optional)
Power your TraceMaster transmitter from your auto battery. (Requires factory upgrade of transmitter, if
not ordered with a new unit.)
The car adapter plugs into the cigarette lighter receptacle of your vehicle and it is equipped with an LED
that will light up when 12V are present. Please note that in some vehicles the ignition switch needs to be
on for power to be available to the cigarette lighter receptacle. The other end of the cable plugs into a
receptacle inside the storage compartment of the TraceMaster Transmitter.
The coiled cable allows you to place the TraceMaster Transmitter up to approximately 15 feet from the
vehicle. Do not overextend the cable.
The adapter can be plugged in with or without batteries installed in the TraceMaster Transmitter unit, but it
is recommended that the Transmitter be turned off.
