Successful wireless communication depends on a number of factors including: battery life, electromagnetic interference, device memory and physical obstructions.

Ensure that the RD8200 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 PDA (or notebook) and the RD8200 locator must be within 10m (30ft) to maintain a wireless connection.

Resetting connections

If you experience problems with the RD8200 wireless iLOC  technology features, Radiodetection recommends resetting the connection and then pairing your device again.

To reset the wireless iLOC connections:

  1. Press the power key.png key to enter the menu.
  2. Scroll to the iLOC menu using the up arrow.png or down arrow.png keys.
  3. Press the antenna key.png key on the locator and the measure key.png key on the transmitter to enter the iLOC menu.
  4. Scroll up or down to the RESET menu.
  5. Select YES using the up arrow.png or down arrow.png keys.
  6. Press the antenna key.png key to enter the iLOC menu.
  7. Re-pair your devices.
