Concepts— When using RC2II and Radios, the majority of communication is handled by the radio link. The RC2II is used only for the quick-lock function. When the user activates the quick-lock function, the RC-2II transmitter sends an Infrared Single that is picked up by the RC2 Handle on the total station. The gun then turns to the source of the infrared beacon (RC-2II) and performs an Autolock
