Section 3 - Operation
3.1 First use
For safety reasons RD7000+ locators are shipped with
the Lithium-ion battery packs disconnected. The
transmitter D-cells and the optional Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery pack are packed separately.
On the locator:
To connect the Li-ion battery pack open the RD7000+
battery compartment and plug the battery lead into the
battery connector.
On the transmitter:
To fit the D-cells batteries in the transmitter, unlatch the
accessory tray. The battery compartment is located
underneath the transmitter body. Use the turnkey to
unlatch the battery compartment. Insert eight D-Cell
Alkaline or NiMH batteries.
3.2 Powering up
To switch the locator or the transmitter on, press the
key.
When you power up the locator or transmitter, they will
perform an LCD segment check. It will then display the
model number followed by the software version. This
information is important if you need to contact
Radiodetection technical support or update your locator
to the latest software.
3.2.1 Power Options
The RD7000+ marker locator range is provided with a
rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack as
standard. The locator can also be powered using good
quality D-cell alkaline or NiMH-batteries.
Transmitters can be powered by D-cell alkaline batteries
(as standard), D-cell NiMH batteries, or by an optional
accessory Li-ion battery pack. Alternatively, you can
power the transmitter from a mains or vehicle power
source using a Radiodetection supplied optional
accessory adapter.
Battery status
The locator and transmitter display provides a battery
level indicator (refer to the diagrams in Sections 2.1 and
2.2). When battery replacement is necessary, the
display shows a flashing battery icon.
Refer to appendix 12.1.2 for some indicative operating
times.
NOTE: Prolonged use of high power output on the
transmitter will reduce battery life.
You must fully charge your locator and optional
transmitter battery pack before their first use
Recharging the locator Li-ion battery pack
To recharge the locator battery pack, connect the
battery charger to the DC input connector on the front of
the battery pack.
