IMPORTANT
This guide is intended to be a quick reference guide. We recommend you read the full
operation manual before you attempt to operate the RD5100H
First use
The RD5100H O+ locator and transmitter can be powered by D-cell alkaline batteries,
2
D-cell NiMH batteries, or by an accessory Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack.
To fit the D cell batteries in the locator, open the battery compartment and insert two
D-Cell Alkaline or NiMH batteries, taking care to align the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals as indicated.
To fit the D cell batteries in the transmitter, unlatch the accessory tray. The battery
compartment is located underneath the transmitter body. Use the turnkey to unlatch
the battery compartment. Insert eight D-Cell Alkaline or NiMH batteries, taking care to
align the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals as indicated.
Alternatively, you can power the transmitter from a mains or vehicle power source
using a Radiodetection supplied optional accessory adapter.
Rechargeable battery packs
Lithium-Ion battery packs are available for both locators and transmitters, providing
superior performance over traditional alkaline batteries. To fit these rechargeable
packs, follow the instructions provided with each pack.
Checking your system software version
If you wish to check which version of software is running on your locator, press and
hold the key when switching the locator on. This information may be asked for
when contacting Radiodetection or your local representative for technical support.
Transmitters automatically show their software version on startup.
System setup
It is important that you set up the system according to regional / operational
requirements and your personal preferences before you conduct your first survey. You
can set the system up using the menus as described below.
