When using a mobile device running a compatible application, such as RD Map for Android, you can use the Phone or Tablet mount to conveniently hold your device next to the locator and have immediate visual feedback on the survey measurement points you are marking.

WARNING: Mobile phones or tablets may interfere with the locator’s performance if positioned not in front of the locator. 

Some mobile phone or tablets may affect the locator’s performance, even if used in the correct position. This may be obvious in situation where the locator is trying to detect a very small signal and it manifests itself by an unstable signal shown on the bargraph and/or depth or current measurement.

If in doubt remove the mobile phone or tablet to verify if these are affecting the behavior of the locator.

No cables, such as power leads or headphones, must be connected to the phone or tablet when used with the mount kit.
