hi mate point the locator down and the lights should be facing you make sure the locator is on and the other control is set on search some one hide the collar obviously within 16ft when you get to 8ft showing on search switch the button on to locate then it should take you right to it when you put the collar on the ferret make sure the unit on the collar is under the ferrets chin but make sure every time you start to look for your ferret the button should be set on search then to locate cheers

make sure you dont switch the collar off.like i did,first time out on sunday,i got the mk3m,with magnetic switch,what a f**k on,never mind got to learn,ian :icon_redface:

 

that looks like a mk2 to me, so no magnetic collar, give scothunter a yell (pm) think he uses a mk2, he maybe able to give more information

Its a mk3 as it says on the unit.

 

Liek someone said do a search for mk3, be patient with it and do lots of practise as it seems to be tricky to get the hang of for some people. Its a great locator if you learn to use it properly.

 

 

opps :icon_redface:

Might sound a daft question but you did get a collar with it didn't you?

Make sure you put the batteries opposite way up to each other too in the collar. One switch is on and off with the - and 0 and the other with l and s is for locate and search, locate goes to 8ft and the search goes to 16ft but not accurately its just for finding where abouts the ferret is in the burrow. When you have found where abouts it is switch to locate and pinpoint where it is holding it upright with the leds at the top. By listening to the pitch of the horible noise when it goes to the highest pitch its the closest point, I do an x with the locator to find the nearest point then start digging. If you watch the leds it will confuse you as they go up and down as the ferret is ragging the rabbit or just because they want to.

I was gonna bin mine when I got it but I stuck with it and it is a lot better than mk1, even my old mate who comes with me is thinking of getting one after slagging mine off all last season :victory:

Good luck, Gnipper

I'm pretty sure the batteries don't go opposite ways to each other, you'd be putting a + and + together.
