Operating the Classic Receiver:
Turning the receiver ON:
Press and hold the ON/OFF switch for approximately 1 to 2 sec-
onds. CH 1 will illuminate when receiver is on.
Turning the receiver OFF:
Press and hold the ON/OFF switch for approximately 1 - 2 sec-
onds. All lights will be extinguished when unit is off.
Changing Channels:
Use the CH button to switch between Channel 1 and Channel 2.
The CH1 indication light is red and the CH2 light is green.
Setting the Gain:
The gain should be set carefully in order to detect the transmitter
and to help in direction finding. A gain setting that is too high
will make it difficult to determine a bearing to the transmitter. To
set the Gain, turn the gain wheel to the lowest level where an
audible beep is heard and only green LEDs are illuminated in the
direction of strongest signal. This will provide the most precise
indication of bearing to the transmitter.
Near Mode:
Pressing the NEAR button will activate the attenuator (red light
above button will illuminate). Near mode is useful when seeking
to locate a dog that is less than a 1/2 mile from the receiver.
The NEAR button makes it easier to set the gain level by reduc-
ing the sensitivity.
Frequency Fine Adjustment:
All transmitters exhibit a certain amount of frequency drift based
on temperature and atmospheric conditions. Tracker has incor-
porated an adjustment wheel on the left side of the receiver to
fine-tune the frequency in order to assure ma
ximum distance
tracking and adjusting the pitch of the beep to make it more
audible. To adjust the frequency, select the correct channel and
