LOST
• Press and hold down the ON button until the Loc8tor beeps and lights ash.

completing a full circle.
• As you point in the right direction and then move
nearer to item, the audio pitch and frequency
of beeps will increase, and lights on the Loc8tor
change from red to amber to green.

direction of the strongest audio and visual signal
and walk in this direction.

it works.
• If you are ever unsure which direction to go in slowly repeat full 360° circle and
then go in the direction with the strongest signal strength.

moving Loc8tor up and down as the Tag could be upstairs or downstairs.

mute and listen out for Tag beeps.
