1.4 Operation Modes
The HR2 receiver has two operating modes:
Suspend
and
Record
Mode.
1.4.1 Suspend Mode
Suspend Mode is a low power state used when the HR2 is being shipped or in storage for an extended
period of time. When in Suspend Mode, the receiver will not detect transmitters.
NOTE: In Suspend Mode, the status LED does not flash .
For details on how to place the HR2 in Suspend mode using the Fathom software, see "Suspend Mode
(not recording)", on page 73 .
CAUTION: The HR2 is shipped in Suspend mode, with the internal battery connected. Always put the
receiver in Record mode (start a study) before deployment.
1.4.2 Record Mode
During testing and deployment, using the Record Mode allows the receiver to detect transmitters and
record tag information. Because the receiver is shipped and stored in
Suspend
Mode, it must be put in
Record Mode before it can detect tags.
NOTE:
In Record Mode, the receiver Status LED will flash 2 quick red flashes
every 5 seconds.
For information about entering Record Mode using Fathom , see "Record Mode", on page 66 .
