Radiodetection RD8000 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 11

Excessive electromagnetic interference can effectively limit the range of wireless
communication and / or corrupt data.
Your PDA device may have insufficient memory to maintain a wireless link, particularly if
the connection is sustained over an hour or longer. Make sure you quit applications on
your PDA using the method described in your device's documentation.
Although iLOC can successfully function at distances up to 300m (1000ft) in direct line
of sight, your PDA (or notebook) and the RD8000 must be within 10m (30ft) to maintain
a wireless connection.
Resetting connections
If you experience problems with the RD8000 wireless Bluetooth technology features,
Radiodetection recommends resetting the connection and then pairing your device again:
1. Press the key to enter the menu.
2. Scroll to the BT menu using the or
3. Press the key to enter the BT menu.
4. Scroll up or down to the RESET menu.
5. Press the key and the locator will purge all current connections.
6. Re-pair your devices.
Bluetooth error codes
If an error occurs when attempting to perform any Bluetooth command using the locator
to the transmitter or the locator to a PC or PDA, the LCD will display a code to help you
resolve the problem on the locator.
The codes are as follows:
B T COD E D E S CR I PTI ON
BT001 Bluetooth not configured for this unit
BT002 Internal Bluetooth error
BT003 Locator not paired with transmitter
BT004 Locator not paired with PC/PDA
BT005 Paired but connection attempt failed. Power cycling may be required
BT006 Corrupt response received from transmitter
BT007 Indeterminate response received from transmitter
BT008 No response received from transmitter
TX?? Transmitter unable to change to the requested frequency

iLOC
iLOC is a standard feature of all RD8000 locator models. iLOC lets you control the
transmitter remotely using your RD8000 locator. With iLOC you can adjust the output
frequency, power settings and use SideStep. iLOC commands are sent over a Bluetooth
module that can operate at distances of up to 300m/1000ft in direct line of sight.
To use iLOC, the transmitter and locator must be paired.
NOTE: Operating in built up areas and in areas with high electromagnetic
interference may reduce iLOC's performance.
Using iLOC
The locator and transmitter need to be switched ON and paired to use iLOC.
For optimum performance:
• Face the back end of the transmitter towards the locator as this is where the
Bluetooth module is fitted
• If possible, raise the transmitter off the ground by 30-60cm (1-2ft)
• Try to avoid obstructions in line of sight
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
frequency is displayed on screen.
2. iLOC commands are sent using the
transmitter.
3. The locator's LCD will display SEND momentarily and then OK if the transfer is
successful.
4. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the LCD will display an error code.
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.
