User Guide
3 The alarm doesn’t sound when the Turtle is
immersed in my pool.
If you haven’t already done so, install the system as described in Initial Setup
and Testing.
Make sure that the green On light is lit on the Base Station. If it is not lit or is
flashing, see the suggestions given above for these cases.
The Turtle being immersed must be the same color as the Baby Turtle inserted
into the Base Station.
Note: Safety Turtle is not designed to operate at distances of over 200 feet
(60 meters). Obstructions in the line of sight from the pool to the Base Station
can also prevent operation.Try setup with Base Station near a second floor
window facing pool.
4 The test beep stops when my Turtle is immersed
below a certain depth in the pool
If no test beep is obtained when testing at the recommended test depth
of 4 inches (10 centimeters), discontinue use and call Terrapin’s customer
support line.
The test beep will typically stop at a pool depth of 6 to 36 inches
(15 to 90 centimeters). Variations arise from differences in the concentration
of salts normally found in pools.
Note: Sea water or pool water having a salt concentration greater than
4000 ppm obstructs the radio transmission.
