5.9 Phone bracket
When using a mobile device running a compatible
application, you can use the Phone mount to conveniently
hold your device next to the locator and have immediate
visual feedback on the survey measurement points you
are marking.
The new design of the RD8200SG handle allows the
quick and easy addition of a mobile device holder, this
can be mounted on either side of the screen to suit the
operator preference.

Attaching the phone bracket
The RD8200SG is fitted with a mount on both sides of
the locator, to allow for the phone holder to be attached
on either side.
1. Slide the square plate on the phone holder down
into the bracket. Make sure the wheel is slightly
loosened so there is enough room for the phone
bracket to slot into place.
WARNING: Mobile phones or tablets may interfere
with the locator’s performance if positioned not in either of
the side positions, see figure 13.9
Some mobile phone or tablets may affect the locator’s
performance, even if used in the correct position. This
may be obvious in situations where the locator is trying to
detect a very small signal or at a low frequency, and it
manifests itself by an unstable signal shown on the bar
graph and/or depth or current measurement.
If in doubt remove the mobile phone or tablet to verify if
these are affecting the behavior of the locator.
No cables, such as power leads or headphones, must be
connected to the phone or tablet when used with the
mount kit.
2. Once the phone holder is in place, turn the wheel
clockwise to fasten and anti-clockwise to loosen.
3. Press the red button on the phone holder to extend
the bracket and place your phone in the holder.
Squeeze tight to secure the phone in place.
