iLOC™
iLOC is a standard feature of all RD8200SG locator models. iLOC lets you control the TX-10B Bluetooth transmitter
remotely using your locator. With iLOC you can adjust the output frequency, power settings and use SideStep. iLOC
commands are sent over a Bluetooth module that can operate at distances of up to 450m / 1400ft in direct line of sight.
To use iLOC, the transmitter and locator must be paired using the procedure described in Section 11.3.
NOTE: The RD8200SG locator wireless features may be
subject to national and or local regulations. Consult your
local authorities for more information.
NOTE: Operating in built up areas and in areas with high
electromagnetic interference may reduce iLOC’s
performance.
WARNING! Do not attempt any wireless connection in
areas where such technology is considered hazardous. This
may include: petrochemical facilities, medical facilities or
