0 Locate mode (all four flashing green) – Mongoose Tracker software has a feature to verify the physical
location of a specific RAD or Mongoose. When you place a RAD in Locate mode, the Power, Comm,
Audio Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD flash green. e flashing
continues until you cancel the request in the software, place another RAD in Locate mode, interrupt
the connection between the computer and the Mongoose, disconnect the RAD, or power cycle the
Mongoose.
Mismatch mode (all four flashing red) – When a RAD is connected to a RAD port on the back of
a Mongoose device a comparison is made between the physical RAD model and the RAD model
specified for this port in the Mongoose’s configuration. If there is a mismatch the Power, Comm, Audio
Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD flash red.

(Disclaimer: As it is poor design to plug two microphones into a single microphone input, we do not
recommend this practice. If, however, you have a situation that warrants it, proceed with caution. We
recognize that paralleling microphone jacks can lower the cost of your audio system.)
NOTE: RADs are hot-swappable. In other words, you can replace a RAD without having to power down
the system. e Mongoose automatically detects the new RAD and configures it using the configuration
data stored in the Mongoose. If the configured RAD and the physical RAD do not match, the Mongoose
front panel Enabled LEDs for this RAD flash yellow. At the same time, the RAD’s Power, Comm, Audio
Rx and Audio Tx flash red during a mismatch.
