• OFF: Select this to switch off the internal GPS module and save battery.
• RESET: Select YES to reset the internal GPS (GPS models only).
iLOC
iLOC lets you control the transmitter remotely using your RD8200 locator. With iLOC you
can adjust the output frequency, power settings and use SideStep. iLOC commands are
sent over a Bluetooth module that can operate at distances of up to 450m / 1400ft in direct
line of sight.
iLOC is a standard feature of all RD8200 locator models, and requires a Bluetooth
equipped Transmitter.
NOTE: Operating in built up areas and in areas with high electromagnetic
interference may reduce iLOC's performance.
Pairing to a transmitter
To pair to a transmitter you require a iLOC enabled model such as the Tx-10B, Tx-10L or
Tx-10G.
Before you begin, you should switch off all nearby Bluetooth equipment as they may
interfere with the locator and transmitter's pairing process.
Preparing the locator:
1. Press the key to enter the menu.
2. Scroll to the iLOC menu using the

NOTE: You must complete the pairing process within 90 seconds to prevent the
locator's Bluetooth connection from timing out.

Starting the pairing process:
9. Press the key on the locator and transmitter.
10. The transmitter and the locator will now attempt to pair.
When pairing is in progress, the transmitter and locator will display a flashing Bluetooth
icon. Pairing can take up to a minute. If the pairing process is successful, the transmitter
will display the icon and the locator will display a persistent Bluetooth icon for the
duration of the connection.
If pairing fails, ensure that any nearby Bluetooth devices are switched off or invisible then
repeat the process.
Once the locator and transmitter have successfully paired you can use iLOC to change the
transmitter's output frequency and power levels remotely from the locator.
Using iLOC
The locator and transmitter need to be paired
to use iLOC. For optimum performance:
• Try to minimize obstructions in line of
sight.
• If possible, raise the transmitter off the
ground by 30-60cm (1-2ft).
• Face the rear end of the transmitter
towards the locator.
• Point the screen of the locator towards
the transmitter.
NOTE: If any iLOC commands fail, move closer to the transmitter and repeat the process.

Changing frequencies

Once the transmitter and the locator are paired, you can change the transmitter's output
frequency remotely using the locator:
1. On the locator, select the frequency you want by pressing the
frequency is displayed on screen.
2. Press the key to send the new frequency to the transmitter.
3. The locator will display SEND momentarily and then OK if the transfer is successful.
4. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the locator will display a Bluetooth error code error
code.
If the process fails, you may be out of range or there may be an error in the connection.
Move closer to the transmitter and retry the procedure. If the connection continues to fail,
return to the transmitter and reset the connection.
