EXAMPLE: If a user dialed 139 on the receiver, turned the ∆ TUNE control all the way
toward "+" or to the right, and found that the tone from the speaker was still not quite
acceptable, he/she could dial 140 or 141 and readjust the ∆ TUNE control back toward
0 again. Or, if a user dialed 100 on the receiver and the ∆ TUNE control was turned all
the way toward "-" (left), and the tone was still not acceptable, he/she might try dialing
098 or 099. Then readjust the ∆ TUNE control back toward 0.
12.
To use the SIGNAL METER, place the SIG/BAT toggle switch in the SIG
position. The meter will indicate relative signal strength. If the meter needle moves too
far to the right, turn the GAIN control to the left. If no signal meter indication is seen,
advance the GAIN to the right.
13.
To determine strength of the receiver battery, place the SIG/BAT toggle switch in
the BAT position. A charged battery will register 6 or more on the meter. If the meter
falls below 6, the receiver battery requires recharging. See recharge directions in #18
below.
14.
For night use, the ML/LED toggle switch can select either the meter light or a
flashing LED circuit. Both the signal meter and the LED can be adjusted by using the
GAIN control to compensate for weaker or stronger transmitter signals. NOTE: During
daylight hours, keep the ML/LED switch in the center-off position to conserve the
battery.
15.
To prevent swamping of the received signal at close range, turn Attenuator
switch on. If your animal's signal comes at the receiver equally from all directions, you
are very close. Turn Attenuator switch on so that the strongest signal will come from
one direction, where animal is located.
16.
To use headphones, turn the GAIN control all the way to the left, plug in
headphones, and adjust GAIN for comfortable volume level.
17.
To use the DC EXTERNAL POWER CORD, insert the cord's plug into the
receiver's DC EXT POWER jack BEFORE plugging the cord's fused cigarette lighter
plug into a vehicle. Then move the INT/EXT power switch to EXT to use the external
power source.
18.
The receiver's nickel cadmium batteries give 5 to 6 hours of tracking between
charges. Before charging, place the power switch on OFF. To charge the receiver,
insert the AC CHARGER CORD plug into the AC CHARGER JACK. Then plug the
other end of the AC CHARGER CORD into a 110-120 VAC, 60-hertz power source
(house current). To fully charge a battery, charge for at least 16 hours and never more
than 24 hours. Overcharging may shorten battery life. After your receiver is fully
charged, it should be charged 4 hours for every one hour of operation. Again, never
recharge for more than 24 hours.
19.
Vary your recharge times to avoid a "memory" buildup. If you recharge 4 hours
each time, the battery will gradually become good for only 4 hours of life. Avoid a
recharging pattern to get the most out of a battery. For instance, if you charge for 4
