There are three stages to the locating process; searching,
pinpointing and tracing.
1. Turn the Mode Switch to the appropriate mode.
2. Hold in the On/Off trigger. The Locator should emit the audible
battery test tone and the digital display should come on.
Check the battery level indicator to confirm the batteries are usable.
3. Rotate the Sensitivity Control fully clockwise to its maximum
setting as indicated by the arrow on the control.
4. Carry out the search using a grid pattern as shown in the diagram.
Walk slowly and keep the Locator upright at all times and stationary
by your side.
5. As you approach the area in which there is a signal the Locator will
emit an audible response and show a visual response on the display.
6. Keep walking until the audible and visual responses disappear.
Using the Locator:
Searching
NOTE
This search technique applies only to the Power, Radio and
All
Scan Modes.
See ‘Using the Signal Generator/ Transmitter’ for the correct search pattern when using Generator/ Transmitter Mode.
NOTE
Sometimes the Locator will give an audible response and strong (full scale) visual response across
the whole of the search area. In this case turn the sensitivity down slightly and repeat the search using the same grid pattern.
