Compass Auto Tracker BEACON 01 User Manual

Welcome

The world’s first Auto-Finder makes locating your parked vehicle simple and
easy. When your vehicle is lost, simply press and hold the search button and let
the Auto-Finder do its magic. A series of audio tones and LED arrows will point
you directly to your vehicle from up to ½ mile away without having to activate any
obnoxious horns or lights from your vehicle’s alarm system.

How it works

The Auto-Finder is an advanced radio directional finder consisting of two transceivers.
Each Auto-Finder comes with a Pointer Remote (hand-held unit) that contains one of the
world’s smallest directional antennas, and an in-car Beacon that contains a proprietary
dual antenna system. At rest, the Beacon is in an intermittent sleep mode, waiting for an
activation signal from the Pointer Remote. When locating your vehicle, pressing and
holding the locate button on the Pointer Remote wakes up the Beacon. Within 3 to 5
seconds the Beacon the Pointer Remote enters the search mode. You can then locate
the direction of your vehicle by using the audio tones and LED lights on the Pointer
Remote.

Before using the Auto-Finder, carefully read the user manual and view the instructional
videos on our website at www.findertechnologies.com

2. Pairing the Beacon and Pointer Remote units

Before the first use of the Auto-Finder, or to add an additional Pointer Remote to
your existing Auto Finder, you will have to pair the Beacon and Pointer Remote
units. Pairing ensures that only your vehicle is being located, and keeps others
from locating your car.

Up to 5 Pointer Remote units can be paired to a single Beacon. This allows
multiple drivers of a single vehicle to have their own Pointer Remote.

To pair a Beacon and a Pointer Remote:

2.1. Install batteries into both the Beacon and the Pointer Remote as
described in section 1,

2.2. Locate the pairing hole on the bottom of the beacon as shown in Figure 3.
You will need a paper clip to press the pairing switch.

2.3. Press and hold the button on the Pointer Remote. Wait for the three
beeps to complete. Do not release button.

2.4. Press the pairing button on the Beacon using a paper clip inserted
through the pairing hole. While the pairing button is pressed and the
Beacon is waiting for pairing it will sound a beep once every second.

2.5. When units have paired to one another, the Beacon will sound 2 quick
beeps. Release the pairing button by removing the paper clip.

2.6. Release the button on the Pointer Remote

2.7. After the pairing process is complete, remove and reinstall the Beacon
batteries to cause it to reset.

2.8. To clear all paired Pointer Remotes from the Beacon memory, hold the
pairing button down while the batteries are installed in the Beacon. As
the last battery is installed you will hear two beeps acknowledging the
cleared memory. After clearing, you will need to pair any desired Pointer
Remotes again.
