4.5.1 Interference protection
•
Auto-Antenna-Switch | Protection in send mode
If the transmitting antenna is impacted by external interference, the other antenna will take over the
transmit function. The BLACK DIAMOND GUIDE BT/RECON BT always transmits with the strongest
possible signal!
•
Signal Verification | Protection in search mode
Only a verified 457kHz signal is indicated. The BLACK DIAMOND GUIDE BT/RECON BT is excellent at
filtering out ghost signals!
External interference and distance recommendations
All beacons are very sensitive to electrical and magnetic sources of interference. Due to this, all manufacturers
recommend keeping a minimum distance from electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of interference (mobile
phone, radio, keys, magnetic closures, etc.):
Minimum distance in send mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in search mode: 50 cm
