Locate Mode
The locate mode option on the main menu opens the locate mode screen, which is the default screen for
locating. When the receiver is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the locate mode screen provides real-
time data about the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, fluid pressure (when a fluid pressure
transmitter is used), and signal strength. See “Display Screens” later in this section for more information
about the locate mode screen.
Receiver Locate Mode Screen with Transmitter in Range
The roll/pitch meter shows the quality of the signal from the transmitter. When a transmitter is not in
range, the roll/pitch meter will be empty and no transmitter data will display.
If you hold the trigger in at the locate mode screen, then a depth mode screen will display. There are
three depth mode screens that may appear depending on the position of the receiver relative to the
transmitter. See “Display Screens” later in this section for a description of each depth mode screen.
Calibration Menu
The calibration menu allows you to calibrate the receiver to a transmitter with the transmitter above
ground (1-point calibration) or below ground (2-point calibration). When you select the calibration menu,
the calibration option previously used is highlighted for selection.
