STAND, BELT CLIP AND MAGNETIC
BIVVY HOLSTER
The TXR Plus is provided with a number of accessories
to hold the receiver, in different conditions of use.
Stand & belt clip
– the TXR Plus is provided with two
different battery covers, one of which incorporates a
fold-out stand and the other of which incorporates a
belt clip. Note that reception range will be reduced
when the unit is worn in close proximity to the body
(see later notes).
Magnetic bivvy holster
– this may be used to attach
the unit to the inside of a bivvy. Hold the holster up to
the inside wall of the bivvy and place the magnet on
the opposite side, so that the fabric is gripped
between the magnet and the rear of the holster. Place
the unit into the holster.
OBTAINING BEST PERFORMANCE FROM
THE TXRPLUS RECEIVER
The operating range of the TXR Plus receiver, like all
low power radio systems, is highly dependant on the
conditions of use and can be adversely affected by the
position of both transmitter and receiver, the terrain
over which it is being used, the prevailing atmospheric
conditions and the presence of any interfering signals.
To obtain best performance, it is recommended that
you –
(1) Ensure that your TXR Plus transmitter is set-up
as far as possible above ground level.
(2) Keep the TXR Plus as high above ground as
possible – if worn on the body, it should be worn
as high as possible (a shoulder pocket or
epaulette is ideal).
(3) Avoid wearing the unit close to the body – it
should be worn on the outside of your clothing.
(4) Try to keep a direct “line-of-sight” between the
receiver and transmitter – obstructions such as
trees, buildings, etc may cause loss of signal, or
reflections of the signal, resulting in “dead spots”.
(5) Do not keep the receiver in the same pocket as a
mobile phone, or other electronic device.
(6) If working at long range, always use the range
test facility on your transmitter, to ensure that
you are in range and will not miss a take.
(7) Ensure both your receiver and your transmitter
have good batteries.
If all the above points are adhered to, a working range
of up to 500 metres may be obtained. All the above
hints become progressively less important, as the
working range is reduced.
Remember to use the system responsibly – the TXR
Plus has been designed to give a long operating range
in order to maximise reliability at close range and
NOT
to encourage users to leave their rods in the water
unattended, whilst they are hundreds of metres away.
