General
Q - How does Locator work?
A - Locator uses a blend of exciting new technologies and traditional radio frequency (RF) technology.
Both Tags and Handheld transmit and receive radio signals. The
Locator Handheld picks up this signal translating it in to clear audio
and visual prompts to guide you in the right direction or warn that an
item has gone astray.
Audio beeps are also emitted by the Tag to help you home in on the items specific location. Capabilities

upon an outdoor application with clear line of sight. Obstacles such as
walls, floors, cupboards and other people will reduce the maximum range
proportionately. The Handheld guides you to within 2.5cm / 1” of your

set up process. It is then impossible for other Handhelds to track your
Tags.
Q- How can I make the Tags water resistant?
A- There are several ways of making the Tag water resistant and here are 2 effective methods:
1. Place the Tag in a small plastic bag and seal the top using a zip tie. The bag doesn't effect the range.
2.
Use silicon sealant for kitchen and bathrooms and put a generous amount
along the seal on the Tag and the holes by the buzzer.
Batteries
Q - What type of batteries are used?
A - The Handheld uses 2 x AAA batteries. Each Tag uses 2 x LR54 or equivalent. Batteries are supplied with all packs.
Q - How long will the batteries last?
A
- Battery life will depend on use. Using an example of one locate per
day the expected Tag battery life is 9 months. In Alert mode the Tags
and Handheld are constantly transmitting to each other to inform as
soon as a Tag goes out of the determined safety zone. As this impacts
battery life we recommend only switching Alert mode on when you need
it. Usually, the batteries in the Handheld will last approximately 2
months in Alert mode. The Handheld will warn you if any batteries need
to be replaced.
Q - How do I know when to replace batteries?
A
- The Locator will notify you whenever batteries are low using a
battery symbol at the top of the Handheld screen. You can push the blue
button at any time to view Tag settings which show details of all Tags
and battery warnings. You must periodically test the battery of the Tag
by activating a 'locate'.
Q - How do I insert new batteries?
A
- The Handheld has an easy to remove side cap which gives access to the
battery compartment (on the right hand side). Similarly the Tags can be
opened using the tip of a pen or other blunt object. 
So Easy, Even A Parent Can Use It
As you get closer, the beeps get louder while the directional guides
get stronger, letting you know you are moving closer to the tag and not
further; helping you shorten the search for your wandering child. The
convenient on-screen directional display and audio guidance leads you
in the right direction the first time, quickly and reliably up to 600*
feet away.
As an added precaution, a Panic Tag with new "click"
technology is included for your child to press alerting you they feel
in danger. With batteries lasting up to 90 days powered by Duracell,
you know that The Locator Child Locator will always be there when
you need it most.
Use Anywhere: Indoors or Outdoors...Especially In Busy Places
We all know what it's like to turn your head for a fraction of a second
and lose sight of your child. This is especially true in busy
situations such as malls, camping, amusement parks, carnivals, or
sporting events. Is your child hiding in that rack of clothes? The Locator is trusted to keep your family
safe, anywhere, even in the most hectic environments.
