Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Marshall Turbo Transmitter,
the most powerful and rugged falconry transmitter ever produced.
Truly the best in the world! Now with the added benefit of a full color
LED light to show how the Turbo is operating. Designed to efficiently
use the battery, the Turbo varies its output power (range) to best
match the conditions of recovering your falcon
Operating Modes:
The Turbo transmitter is designed give the best range possible while hunting, but it is also able to reduce power to
preserve battery life if your falcon is lost for an extended time. To the best balance of Range and Run-time, the Turbo
starts out in Standard Power Mode for 1 hour (for when your bird is overhead), then, if the flight continues (tail chase
scenario), the Turbo power mode will activate (Blue) and will transmit at full Turbo power for 12 hours. After the 12
hours, the Turbo reduces its power (still as strong as an RT Standard) to provide 5 full days of tracking. The LED light on
the side of the Turbo indicates what mode the transmitter is in.
....
Blue LED - Turbo Power Mode - maximum range (up to 2x the range of the RT Standard). Turbo mode lasts for 12
hours (with a fresh battery)
.... – Standard Power Mode. While in this mode, the range still better than an RT Standard
Green LED
(and double beep) – Change Battery. The battery is getting low (2-3 days remaining)
....
.... (and triple beep) –Battery almost dead, you have less than 1 day remaining
Red LED
Note: the LED light is the latest technology and is super-efficient, it uses less than 1% of the transmitter's power.
Battery:
The Turbo uses the same 1/3N Lithium Photo Battery proven by falconers for years. We recommend the
Duracell DL1/3N.
Battery is installed positive side inside the lid (positive side is marked with a "+"). When installing
battery, screw the lid down finger tight. Circular battery spring exerts back-pressure onto the lid
preventing it from unscrewing. As soon as the battery is installed transmitter will begin running.
Note
: If the transmitter does not start blinking blue when a new battery has been installed, simply use the
magnetic wand to switch it on.
Tap On /Tap Off™ Magnetic Switch
The Turbo uses Marshall's unique tap on/ tap off magnetic switch to turn the transmitter on and
off. The status of the transmitter is then indicated by the color of the LED light.
When switched off with the magnet, the LED will flash slowly in
transmitter has a battery installed and is sleeping.
Note
: If you lose your magnet, or prefer to use your transmitter without this feature, the Turbo can be switched on
and off by simply removing the battery.
