h.
Select “Get Range” (press “1” on keypad). This establishes communication between the
VR2AR and the VR100-200 and reduces the “talk time” necessary to communicate.
i. Press the “MENU” button twice to move back to the Transponding menu.
j.
Select “Acoustic Release” (#3)
k.
Select “Status” to view the VR2AR’s release status. It should report “unarmed” at this stage.
Press MENU to go back to the menu.
l.
Select “Arm” from the menu and wait for the status to change to “Armed”.
m.
Select “Activate” and enter the 5-digit PIN code corresponding to this VR2AR when
prompted. Select the right selection button (“Activate”)
again.
n. Wait while the mooring lug is ejected from the VR2AR;
status is reported as “Opening” during this phase.
5. Communicate with the VR2AR again through VUE (see sections 3.3 and 3.4). Before continuing,
take a quick look at the number of detections and pings received listed in the receiver status
information.
6. Offload the data that was collected during the test (section 3.10), creating a VRL file.
7. View the data to verify that the data was stored and retrieved without problems. Instructions for
viewing data are found in the VUE manual.
8. Reset the mooring lug for another acoustic release (see section 4.4). NOTE: The acoustic
communication between the VR100-200 and the VR2AR must time-out (be dormant for more than 10
minutes) in order for the receiver to be reset and able to release again.
9. Begin another study (see section 3.9.1) to erase the data in the VR2AR.

In-Water Test
Tests performed in water are almost identical to the in-air test explained above. The only difference is that
the equipment does not need to be as close in water as it does in air. For example, the tag could be positioned
5 meters from the receiver for testing purposes. In-water tests are often performed to establish an ideal range
for the VR2AR receivers in the environment in which they are moored. Details of conducting a Range Test
are found at
