 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 RD7200 locator will detect most buried conductors but there 

are some objects that do not radiate any detectable signal. The RD7200, or any 
other electromagnetic locator, cannot detect these objects so proceed with 
caution. There are also some live cables which the RD7200 will not be able to 
detect in Power mode. The RD7200 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 
do charge them at least once a month. 

 WARNING! Batteries can get hot after prolonged use at full output power. 

Take care while replacing or handling batteries.

 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.

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.

eCert and Self-Test

The RD7200 locator is safety equipment which should be regularly checked to 
ensure its correct operation.
eCert provides a thorough test of the RD7200’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.
RD7200 locators incorporate an Enhanced Self-Test feature. In addition to the  
typical checks for display and power functions, the RD7200 locator 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.
