Using iLOC
The locator and transmitter need to
be paired to use iLOC. For optimum
performance:
• Try to minimize obstructions in line of
sight
• If possible, raise the transmitter off
the ground by 30-60cm (1-2ft)
• Face the rear end of the transmitter
towards the locator
• Point the screen of the locator
towards the transmitter.
NOTE: If any iLOC commands fail, move closer to the transmitter and repeat the
process.
Changing frequencies
Once the transmitter and the locator are paired, you can change the transmitter’s
output frequency remotely using the locator:
1. On the locator, select the frequency you want by pressing the
key until the
frequency is displayed on screen.
2. Press the
key to send the new frequency to the transmitter.
3. The locator will display SEND momentarily and then OK if the transfer is
successful.
4. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the locator will display a bluetooth error code error
code (see operation manual for details).
If the process fails, you may be out of range or there may be an error in the connection.
Move closer to the transmitter and retry the procedure. If the connection continues to
fail, return to the transmitter and reset the connection.
Adjusting power
iLOC lets you adjust the transmitter’s power output remotely; you can also put the
transmitter into standby mode and then wake it remotely.
1. Transmitter power options are located in the TXOUT menu on the locator.
Press and hold the
key to display the TXOUT menu.
2. Press the
key to enter the power level menu.
3. Scroll up or down through the power output options using the
or
keys:
• STDBY:
Transmitter standby mode, the connection is still active but the
output
is disabled – use to prolong battery life.
• LOW:
Low power output
• MED:
Medium power output
• HIGH:
High power output
• BOOST:
Temporarily boosts transmitter power output to its maximum level.
4. Once you have selected the mode you want, press the
key to confirm.
5. Press and hold the
key to select the new setting and exit the menu.
6. Press the
key once to send the settings to the transmitter.
NOTE: When changing the transmitter frequency using iLOC, the chosen
transmitter power setting will be retained.
