Direction Finding Scale:

Figure 12. Direction Finding Scale

When the Direction Finding mode is activated, a graph appears allowing the user to see greater
granularity of the detected cell phone signal.  It is recommended to use this mode with the Direction
Finding antenna attached to the Wolfhound PRO to uncover hidden cell phones.  As the signal increases
or decreases in the graph to the right the user can determine the direction of the cell phone.  For more
details on setting up the Direction Finding Antenna refer to Attachment of Direction Finding Antenna.

There is also the Threshold Marker and the Reset Max Bars icons that are found using the spinning
wheel icon.
