If the secondary device establishes a communication link 22 with the primary device during the second set amount of time, the primary device may stay in the starting beacon position. According to the primary search pattern 800, the first optical system 250a and beacon beam 24a is configured to stay in the beacon position pointing towards the best estimated location of second optical system 250b for approximately 0.048 seconds. Second communication device 200b detects beacon beam 24a transmitted from the first communication device 200a within the 0.048 seconds and establishes a communication link 22a, as shown in
