8.2 HOUND 3 Details (refer to Figure 2)
8.2.1: Power Button
The Power Button (EE) is typically pressed and held while
the HOUND 3 is being used. When pressed, the Amplifier
and Speaker (LL) is activated, and the LED lights (CC) are
turned on. Release the button to turn the product off.
8.2.2: Signal Strength Indicator
The Signal Strength Indicator (DD) is used to indicate the
presence of a signal when it may be difficult to hear the sig-
nal coming from the speaker (because of high ambient noise
levels). It will glow brighter as the received signal strength
increases. The brightness will be seen to pulsate with the
characteristics of the received signal.
Helpful Hint
The Signal Strength Indicator responds to any received sig-
nal. Any sound normally heard in the speaker will cause the
Indicator to light. The user will note that the HOUND 3 will
“pick up” signals from electrical devices other than the FOX
2. Probably the most notable signal, a buzzing sound, comes
from fluorescent lights. Other sounds can often be heard
when the HOUND 3 is placed near a TV, computer, or other
electronic device. The Signal Strength Indicator can’t differ-
entiate between these signals . . . so if the user is observing
just the Indicator, without being able to hear the speaker, he
may mistake an interfering signal for the target signal. This
is where the earphone is handy. By using the earphone, the
user can determine if the signal that the Indicator is respond-
ing to is the target signal.
