A '''transmitter''' is an electronic signaling device that transmits a signal on specified frequencies for homing and identification.
Colonials employ a '''handheld scanner''' of electronic instrumentality with a variety of purposes.


One such transmitter allows the [[Terra|Terran]] shuttle ''[[Lunar Avion]]'' to track and automatically land on [[Paradeen]] {{OS|Greetings From Earth}}.
Handheld scanners are typically palm-sized and affixed to equipment belts, including the weapon's belt worn by [[Colonial Warrior|Colonial Warriors]]. Some scanners have electronic components, such as chips and transistors, fixed atop a haircell textured shell {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I}}.

[[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] rigs a portable identification transmitter for [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] to carry in their mission, knowing that the only way they can leave the [[Basestar (TOS)|basestar]] is aboard a [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] craft. It is attuned to the Colonial attack frequencies and reads as a "flashing red dot" on an attack [[scanner]]  {{OS|Greetings From Earth}}.
[[Medtech|Medtechs]] employ similar handheld devices capable of recording a person's life signs and physical condition {{OS|Greetings From Earth}}.
