If the locator has the Bluetooth connectivity enabled, the Bluetooth symbol will also flash while attempting to Send the locator measurements to RD Map.

If RD Map is not running or if the Android device is not in reach of the locator you may find useful to transfer the content of the survey measurements memory to RD Map at the end of your survey.
