Screen Overview
When you load the Locator screen, an interface will appear. You can change the various modes of the locator
by clicking on the icons at the bottom.
First, we will go over the title bar:
The circle on the right will flash red when a tag is detected. A rotating circle animation indicates that the
locator is actively connected to the phone. The far right icon indicates battery life, and contains the voltage.
Approximately 4.10 volts is a full battery, 3.7 volts is half full, and 3.4 volts is empty. This will also be
indicated by the battery slowly reducing, similar to your smart phone.
Next we will go over the icons at the bottom:
•The Home icon shows all detected tags in a list, which is the default view when you first connect to the
device. For more details, see the Home View section.
•The Identify icon helps you identify unknown tags or verify a tag’s ID when it is in close range. For
more details, see the Identify View section.
•The Favorites icon is a place where you can see the tags you have specified as favorites. This is useful
when a lot of other tags are nearby and you wish to focus on a specific tag. For more details, see the
Favorites View section.
•The Search icon is where you can search for tags within all of the tags recently detected during your
session. For more details, see the Search View section.
•The Download icon allows you to download all collected tag data as well as ES200 data. For more
details, see the Download View section.
•The Settings icon allows you to control various locator settings and options. For more details, see
the Settings View section.
The signal strength next to the tag ID is measured in decibel milliwatts or dBm. This will always be
a negative number, with -40 dBm being very strong (and within a few feet), while -115 to -120 dBm is
typically the weakest signal possible to receive. This would indicate a signal coming from very far away or
propagating through difficult RF conditions, such as heavy foliage.
Note: You can enable the tag “ping” sound on mobile devices by touching any part of the display, such as
the top bar. Otherwise, it will be silent.
Home View
The home view shows all nearby tags. If a tag is first seen, it will show up as red, to indicate a new tag has
been detected. If the tag is seen again, it will turn black. Each time the tag is detected, the text will briefly
flash yellow to indicate it has been updated.
