Working Life of your Halo Remote

Your Halo Remote has been designed to have a very low battery drain.
You can expect your Halo Remote to have the following “Working Life” duration when new batteries are used:

  • Standby Mode = 833 days (Remote is powered, but not in active use – Buttons not pressed)
  • Operational Mode = 13 hours (Remote life in constant active use – Approx. equal to 46,800 button presses)

Obtaining Best Performance from your Halo Remote
The operating range of the Halo Marker Pole System, like all low power radio systems, is of both transmitter and receiver, the terrain over which it is being used, the prevailing atmospheric conditions and the presence of any interfering signals.
To obtain best performance, it is recommended that you –

  • Operate the Remote as high above ground as possible – If worn on the body, it should be worn as high as possible and on the outside of your clothing.
  • Try to keep a direct “line-of-sight” between the receiver and transmitter when in use – obstruction such as trees etc. may cause loss/reduction of signal.
  • Do not keep the Remote in the same pocket as a mobile phone, or other electronic devices.
  • Ensure both the Capsule and the Remote have good batteries.

All the above hints become progressively less important, as the working range is reduced.

Drying Out After Use in Heavy Rain

Your Remote has been designed to be weatherproof. However, after use in heavy rain, it is important to allow the unit to dry out properly by bringing the unit indoors and allowing to dry fully after use.
NEVER place batteries in a hot environment (e.g. on a radiator).
