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 TXOUT menu.
3. Scroll up or down through the power output options; these are:
• STDBY: Transmitter standby mode, the connection is still active but the output
is disabled.
• 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
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.
Sleep/wake the transmitter
To help you prolong battery life you can put the transmitter in standby mode (sleep), and
reactivate it again, using the locator.
To put the transmitter into standby mode, set the TXOUT menu on the locator to STDBY
using the "Changing transmitter power output" procedure described above.
This will disable the transmitter output.
To re-activate the transmitter output, select any power mode from LOW to BOOST using
the same procedure.
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.
SideStep
SideStep allows you to change the output frequency on the transmitter. SideStep
changes the selected frequency by several Hertz and automatically sets the locator's
locate frequency to match the transmitter's output frequency.
1. On the locator, select the frequency you want by pressing the
frequency is displayed on screen.
2. To step the frequency, press and hold the
3. Press the key to send the SideStep command to the transmitter.
4. If the command is sent successfully, an asterisk (*) will appear on the locator next to
the frequency and STEP will appear on the transmitter below the frequency.
5. Repeat this process to disable SideStep.

Survey Measurements
RD8000 locator models are capable of recording up to 1000 survey measurements to
internal memory.
If the locator is a GPS model or if paired to Pocket PC (or PDA) with GPS, running a
compatible application such as SurveyCERT the locator will append positional information
alongside time and date to the data, providing spatial context.
NOTE: The internal GPS module needs to be switched on and connected to the
GPS satellite system.
Saving measurements
To save survey measurements, press the
To achieve accurate results the locator must be kept as still as possible during the saving
process.
The locator will always save measurements to internal memory. If Bluetooth is switched
on, paired to a device and BT-PC is enabled, , the locator will also attempt to send
the saved measurement to a paired PDA running SurveyCERT or to a PC running a
compatible application.
If your PC or PDA is out of reach, or if its Bluetooth features are disabled, the locator will
display an error code. To avoid these errors disable the Bluetooth survey measurements
transmission or ensure that your PC or PDA is within range and correctly paired.
NOTE: A flashing depth and/or current reading display means that the
measurement is poor and should be taken again. Poor readings may be caused by
nearby conductors or sources of electromagnetic interference.
Erasing measurements
The RD8000 locator allows you to delete all measurements. Erasing the log will wipe the
RD8000 memory and is usually recommended when you begin a new survey.
WARNING! Erasing measurements cannot be undone! Proceed with caution!
1. Press the key to enter to menu.
2. Press the or keys to select LOG menu.
3. Press the key to enter the LOG menu.
4. Scroll up or down to select the DEL option.
5. Press the key to make the selection and return to the main menu.
