bca TRACKER S Manual De Instrucciones página 5

Familiarization
Auto Revert Mode: Auto revert mode will make your Tracker S
automatically revert to TR (transmit) if the searcher remains in
search mode for more than five minutes. An alarm will sound
30 seconds before the unit returns to transmit mode. This can
be avoided by pressing the Options button or turning the dial
switch before the 30-second warning period has elapsed.
Auto revert mode is activated by holding down the Options button while
turning on the device, in either transmit or search mode. You must continue
to hold down the Options button until "Ar" is shown on the display.
Before "Ar" is shown, other diagnostics will be displayed, including "TS,"
"r.c." (with software version number) and battery power percentage.
If choosing to use auto revert, it must be activated every time the unit
is turned on. Otherwise, the unit can only be switched from search to
transmit mode manually.
Muting the Sound: The sound in Search mode can be muted
by pressing the Options button while switching from transmit
to search mode. "LO" will appear in the display and all sounds
assisting the search function are muted.
Low battery warning: At 40 percent battery power, the audible
sounds at startup will no longer be heard. At 20 percent, no
sounds will be heard in search mode.
When the battery power becomes too low to operate, the
transceiver will display the "Lb" sign. When you see this,
replace the batteries before further use. When batteries are too low to do
startup routines, a simple "0" will blink on the display.
Mismatched batteries can act unpredictably at various temperatures
and low batteries can die unexpectedly fast. Therefore, we strongly
recommend changing batteries once the battery power indicator reaches
40 percent.
NOTE: never mix new and used batteries in your transceiver–or batteries
of mixed brands. Never use lithium or rechargeable batteries. These may
all lead to an inaccurate battery power indication.
Signal Suppression: Signal Suppression mode suppresses the
strongest signal and shows the searcher the second strongest
signal, including directional arrows. Always stay in standard
search mode when searching for the first transmitter. Once the
first victim has been located and your fine search is complete,
you are ready to use Signal Suppression.
Signal Suppression mode is activated by pressing the Options button until
"SS" is shown on the display. To enter suppression mode, the Options
8
button must be released before "BP" is displayed. The multiple victim icon
will flash alternately while in SS mode.
If Tracker S has not collected enough data on the multiple transceivers and
you try to suppress, both multiple burial icons will flash simultaneously.
Wait three seconds and try Signal Suppression again, or use Big Picture
mode instead.
Suppression of the strongest signal will last for one minute, giving the
searcher time to move away from the suppressed signal and lock on to the
next transmitter. The Tracker S will automatically default from suppression
mode to standard search mode after one minute. This can also be done
manually, by pressing the Options button until "SE" is displayed. When
returning to search mode, the multiple victim icon will stop flashing and
the Tracker S will isolate the strongest signal.
NOTE: Signal suppression can be unreliable when attempting to suppress
older analog transceivers.
Big Picture: Big Picture mode is the closest thing to an analog
transceiver in the digital world. It displays distances and
directions of all the transceivers that are transmitting within
range. With Big Picture mode, you can estimate how many
transceivers are in the search area along with their approximate
direction. You can also perform a search in BP mode, but
always remember to return to normal search mode during the fine search
when you're getting close to the victim.
Big Picture mode is activated by holding down the Options button
until "BP" flashes in the display. You must continue to hold down the
Options button to stay in BP mode. Once the mode button is released,
the Tracker S will automatically return to search mode and isolate the
strongest signal.
Adjustment/Fitting
Tracker S can be worn with or without its harness. When used with a
harness, Tracker S should be worn underneath your outer garments, as
