Using the left or right arrow button on the remote, select the desired action: either decrease contrast (left
arrow), increase contrast (right arrow), or the curved arrow. Adjust the contrast by pressing the remote’s
execute button after you have selected the decrease or increase contrast arrow. Each time the execute
button is pressed, the contrast will change incrementally. When the contrast is adjusted as desired, use
the left/right arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the curved arrow on the screen, and then press the
execute button on the keypad to return to the main menu.
Display Screens
Main Display Screen
The main display screen is the default screen you will see after turning on the FSD remote. It shows the
transmitter pitch, roll, battery status, and temperature. The main screen also shows the FSD battery
status, receiver type, telemetry channel, telemetry update meter, and Target Steering data (if active). To
exit this screen at any time, press the down arrow button to return to the main menu.
FSD Main Display Screen
The telemetry update meter displays the amount of signal being received. If less data is being received,
then fewer bars are shown on the meter. If the meter is decreasing or low, you should pause before
making steering decisions to ensure you have correct data. When the meter is empty, no telemetry data
is being received and all transmitter information will disappear.
If the roll offset function is set on the receiver (an electronic compensation to match the transmitter’s
12 o’clock position to the tool’s 12 o’clock position), the letters RO for roll offset will display at the bottom
right of the transmitter roll indicator. For more information, see “Roll Offset Menu” in the Receiver section
and “Set Roll Offset” in the System Setup section.
If a fluid pressure transmitter is used, the instantaneous fluid pressure will show in place of the transmitter
battery status on the screen above. The transmitter battery status will still show on the depth display
screen (see below).
