WARNING! Direct connection to live conductors is POTENTIALLY LETHAL. Direct
connections to live conductors should be attempted by fully qualified personnel only
using the relevant products that allow connections to energized lines.
WARNING! The transmitter is capable of outputting potentially lethal voltages.
Take care when applying signals to any pipe or cable and be sure to notify other
technicians who may be working on the line.
WARNING! Reduce audio level before using headphones to avoid damaging
your hearing.
WARNING! This equipment is NOT approved for use in areas where hazardous
gases may be present.
WARNING! When using the transmitter, switch off the unit and disconnect
cables before removing the battery pack.
WARNING! The RD8200 locator will detect most buried conductors but there
are some objects that do not radiate any detectable signal. The RD8200, or any
other electromagnetic locator, cannot detect these objects so proceed with
caution. There are also some live cables which the RD8200 will not be able to
detect in Power mode. The RD8200 does not indicate whether a signal is from a
single cable or from several in close proximity.
WARNING! Batteries can get hot after prolonged use at full output power.
Take care while replacing or handling batteries.
WARNING! Only use charging equipment provided by Radiodetection. The use of
alternative chargers may cause a safety hazard and/or reduce the life of the battery.
CAUTION: Do not let your battery completely discharge as this may reduce its life
or damage it permanently. If you are not using your equipment for a long period
charge them at least once a month.
WARNING! Do not tamper with, or attempt to disassemble the battery packs.
CAUTION: If battery failure is suspected or if the battery shows any sign of
discoloration / physical damage return the entire unit to an authorized repair
center for investigation and repair. Local, national or IATA transport regulations
may restrict the shipment of faulty batteries. Check with your courier for
restrictions and best practice guidelines. Your local Radiodetection representative
will be able to direct you to our authorized repair centers.

eCert and Self-Test
The RD8200 locator is safety equipment which should be regularly checked to
ensure its correct operation.
eCert provides a thorough test of the RD8200’s locating circuitry, and supplies a
Radiodetection Calibration Certificate when a positive test result is obtained.
To run an eCert, the locator should be connected to an internet-enabled PC on
which the RD Manager software is installed.
Refer to the RD Manager operation manual for further details. Additional purchase
may be required.
RD8200 locators incorporate an Enhanced Self-Test feature. In addition to the
typical checks for display and power functions, the RD8200 applies test signals to
its locating circuitry during a Self-Test to check accuracy and performance.
We recommend that a self-test is run at least weekly, or before each use.
ENGLISH
NOTE: The charging temperature range is 0 to 45 °C, 32 to 113°F. Do not attempt
to recharge your batteries outside this temperature range.
