transmitter’s output frequency and power levels from the
locator. See Section 13 for further details.
12.4 Troubleshooting
Successful wireless communication depends on a number
of factors including: battery life, electromagnetic
interference, device memory and physical obstructions.
Ensure that the RD8200SG 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 wireless device
and the RD8200SG locator must be within 10m (30ft) to
maintain a wireless connection.
Resetting connections
If you experience problems with the RD8200SG wireless
iLOC technology features, Radiodetection recommends
resetting the connection and then pairing your device
again.
To reset the wireless iLOC connections:
1 Press the key to enter the menu
2 Scroll to the iLOC menu using the or keys
3 Press the key on the locator and the on the
transmitter to enter the iLOC menu
4 Scroll up or down to the RESET menu
5 Press the key on the locator and the on the
transmitter to enter the RESET menu
6 Select YES using the or keys
7 Press the key to confirm your choice
8 Re-pair your devices as described in section 11.3

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 12.1 Using iLOC
NOTE: If any iLOC commands fail, move closer to the
transmitter and repeat the process.
12.6 iLOC functions
Changing frequencies
Once the transmitter and the locator are paired, you can
change the transmitter’s output frequency remotely using
the locator:
1 On the locator, select the frequency you want by
pressing the key until the frequency is displayed
on screen.
2 iLOC commands are sent using the key, press it to
