If pairing fails, ensure that any nearby Bluetooth devices
are switched off or invisible then repeat the process.
Once the locator and transmitter have successfully paired
the transmitter should be power cycled to complete the

10.4 Bluetooth standby mode
When
using
the
Bluetooth
connection
on
the
RD, the Bluetooth module is by default kept in
standby mode. This can help to increase the locator
battery life and in some applications reduce potential
interference from the Bluetooth module.
The RD locator provides users with the option
to set the Bluetooth module to STANDBY or ON. In the ON
position the Bluetooth module will be permanently ready
to send data, which can help to speed up the transfer times
compared to that of modules set to STANDBY mode
