The large digital display is easily read and the simple data retrieval method lets you review the time and date of each event as many times as needed. Defaults are programmed in so that the unit will automatically begin collecting data even if the operator forgets to set the proper mode. Three push buttons on the front of the receiver are used to control its many functions. The TIME SET button is used to set the initial time and date functions in the same way a digital watch is set. The SET UP button is used when aligning the transmitter and receiver.
Proper alignment is verified by a blinking red light on the receiver.
This light is on only during the set up process, and goes out automatically after four minutes even if the operator forgets to take the unit out of the Set Up mode. TrailMaster monitors are weather-proof, allowing them to remain in the field collecting data during the most sever weather conditions, including rain and snow. Nylon straps make the monitors easy to mount securely to any tree or post. With their many features, the TrailMaster monitors offer dependability and are still simple to use. TrailMaster's active infrared system with their 90 foot range can be easily concealed well off the trail.
