4.8 Smart Accessory Detection
The

acquires calibration information from the accessory and thus, allows the receiver to determine
what type of accessory is present.
Metrotech accessories such as speaker or headphone audio output, host serial cable, search
coils, etc. are available accessory options.
4.9 Data Acquisition (optional)
With the data logging feature, locate data can be recorded and stored in the receiver’s memory
until downloaded to Metrotech’s MyLocator website. Images taken from the site location and
transferred to the receiver via Bluetooth can also be stored and filed with the corresponding
locate data.
If a GPS antenna is installed on the i5000 receiver, locate coordinate data – latitude, longitude,
and GPS clock time are recorded as well.
