Once the locator and transmitter have successfully
paired the transmitter should be power cycled to
complete the process. You can then use iLOC to
remotely change the transmitter’s output frequency and
power levels from the locator. See Section 13 for further
details.
11.4 Troubleshooting
Successful wireless communication depends on a
number of factors including: battery life, electromagnetic
interference, device memory and physical obstructions.
Ensure that the RD8200 locator, transmitter and any
other wireless device is sufficiently charged for wireless
communication.
Excessive electromagnetic interference can limit the
range of wireless communication and / or corrupt data.
Although iLOC can successfully function at distances up
to 450m (1400ft) in direct line of sight, your PDA (or
notebook) and the RD8200 locator must be within 10m
(30ft) to maintain a wireless connection.
Resetting connections
If you experience problems with the RD8200 wireless
iLOC technology features, Radiodetection recommends
resetting the connection and then pairing your device
again.
To reset the wireless iLOC connections:
9 Press the key to enter the menu
10 Scroll to the iLOC menu using the or keys
11 Press the key on the locator and the on the
transmitter to enter the iLOC menu
12 Scroll up or down to the RESET menu
13 Select YES using the or keys
14 Press the key to enter the iLOC menu

11.5 Using iLOC
Locator and transmitter need to be switched ON and
paired to use iLOC.
For optimum performance:
 Minimize obstructions in line of sight
 Raise the transmitter off the ground by 30-60cm (1-
2ft)
 Point the screen of the locator towards the
transmitter
Figure 11.1 Using iLOC
NOTE: If any iLOC commands fail, move closer to the
transmitter and repeat the process.
