12DIRECTION FINDING
The direction finding function allows you to check a variation
of the signal level continuously.
Using a commercially available directional antenna, you can
determine the direction of the signal source. Using 2 receivers
with the directional antennas, you can pinpoint the signal
source.

Battery cautions NEVERincinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVERimmerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the receiver. NEVERshort terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat- tery packs in handbags, etc. If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON...
