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 RD5100H
2
O locator.
First use
The RD5100H
2
O locator and transmitter are powered by Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
Fully charge each unit with their supplied battery chargers before use.
To fit the D cell batteries in the transmitter, unscrew the rear hinged battery cover.
The battery compartment is located at the rear of the transmitter body. Unscrew
the thumbscrew in a counterclockwise direction and open the cover. Insert four
D-Cell Alkaline or NiMH batteries, taking care to align the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals as indicated. Replace the cover and hand tighten the thumbscrew in a
clockwise direction.
Checking the system software version and last
calibration date
To check which version of software is running on your locator and the date of the last
calibration, press and hold the
key when switching the locator on. This information
may be asked for when contacting Radiodetection or your local representative for
technical support.
System setup
Regional and operational requirements are factory configured, no set-up is required.

Batteries
Internal Battery
The RD5100H
2
OTx has an internal Li-Ion
rechargeable battery and is supplied with
bespoke charging equipment.
Use of alternative charging equipment is
forbidden.
The internal battery has no user serviceable
components and it must not be dismantled
or modified as this will compromise safety.
If a battery failure is suspected, the
equipment should be repaired using original
spare parts by an authorized repairer.
Waste Lithium Ion batteries should not
be placed in municipal waste, punctured,
incinerated, crushed etc. They should be
handled and recycled correctly.
Auxiliary Batteries
The RD5100H
2
OTx has an option to bypass
the Li-Ion battery by the installation of
4 standard alkaline D-Cells (LR-20) as
illustrated on the product label. If installed
the D-Cells (LR-20) take priority over the
Li-Ion battery.
Do not mix D-Cell (LR-20) battery types.
Any D-Cell (LR20) with a max terminal
voltage of 1.6V can be inserted, however, for
best performance use alkaline cells.
Note: These cells will not be charged by
the supplied charging equipment.
Note: Installing the first two D-Cells
correctly, followed by two more inverted,
allows D-Cells to be stored in the
RD5100H
2
OTx while it operates from the
internal Lithium Ion battery. Turn the second
two D-Cells around to the correct polarity to
power the RD5100H
2
OTx from the D-Cells.
Keypad actions and shortcuts
