When using the Bluetooth connection on the MRX(G) Marker locator, the Bluetooth module is by default kept in standby mode. This can help to increase the locator battery life and, in some applications, reduce potential interference from the Bluetooth module.

The MRX(G) Marker locator provides users with the option to set the Bluetooth module to STANDBY or ON. In the ON position the Bluetooth module will be permanently ready to send data, which can help to speed up the transfer times compared to that of modules set to STANDBY mode.

1 Press the  key to enter the menu.
