WHILE LOCATING…
After the initial set up routine the
Receiver is completely automatic To
search locate and pinpoint simply follow the visual and audio cues on the
display and from the built in speaker

A brief description of each display feature follows here:
Absolute Numerical Response (ANR)
This number is always displayed in the
upper left corner of the display regardless of the mode being used It
indicates at all times the strength of the signal being detected at the desired
frequency Because it is absolute it always reflects the actual signal strength
So the ANR is always a good indicator of the working signal level An ANR
of “
” and above is considered a strong working signal; an ANR between
“
” and “
” is fair; an ANR below “
” is weak even though it may
still be usable
Depth Report
When the locating target becomes centered under the
crosshair the estimated depth will appear automatically and remain as long
as the target remains centered
Depth Accuracy Report
This is the receiver’s estimate of how accurate it
deems the calculated depth report In general the closer the depth accuracy
number is to “
” the more accurate the receiver’s programming deems
the depth report to be However the user should be cautious when using
this indicator because it is a “fuzzy” estimate Also it is always
recommended that depth estimates be verified by some other means if
possible (One way of verifying depth is by triangulation This and other
techniques for ascertaining depth accurately are discussed in Appendix A of
this manual ) In practice it has been found that the depth accuracy report
tends to be “worst case”; that is the depth report will often be more accurate
than the depth accuracy number seems to indicate
Frequency/Mode Indicator
The current frequency and locating mode being
used alternately flashes in the lower left corner at all times
