iLOC
iLOC lets you control the transmitter remotely using your RD5100H
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 RD5100H
O+ locators, and requires a Bluetooth equipped
2
transmitter (RD5100H
O+Tx).

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).

•
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.
