To Turn the VHF Transmitter Off
Place a magnet on the dimple for one to two seconds.
Result: The VHF transmitter will broadcast a squeal, then cease
transmission.
IMPORTANT: To preserve the battery’s charge, ensure that the VHF
collar is switched off when not in use and placed away from any
magnetic fields. To avoid a VHF collar being turned on accidentally, take
care not to place the transmitter unit on or near any magnet.
IMPORTANT: Do not store magnets and collars together. A VHF
transmitter can be turned on or off if a magnet comes within 20 mm of
the dimple. Other magnets may switch the VHF transmitter on and off
from a greater distance.
It is important that the user knows (to within one-degree Longitude / Latitude)
where the first location will be attempted, this is best set up in the schedule and
the fix taken before deployment. The downloaded data can be processed later
when you have access to the internet.
