Radio Mode
Radio mode detects broadcast signals that originate from radio
transmitters. These signals penetrate the ground and are re-radiated by
buried conductors. However, depending on your location, these signals
may not be present.
Strike
Alert
™
If the Strike
Alert
™ option is activated, the mode icon will flash an
asterisk (*) when the locator detects a shallow cable radiating an
electromagnetic signal. This is a useful shallow cable indicator;
note however that not all live power cables radiate a signal that
the Receiver can detect. Strike
Alert
is indicated by a I or O at
power-up.
Do not use the Strike
Alert
™ feature to confirm the area is free from
shallow cables.
ALWAYS DIG WITH CAUTION
.
Note:
To disable Strike
Alert
™, press and hold the frequency select
button as you turn the Receiver on. Repeat the procedure to enable
Strike
Alert
™.
Strike
Alert
does not operate in radio or sonde mode. It is activated by
shallow cables radiating a power signal or an actively applied signal.

three locatable frequencies, two induction frequencies and two power
levels. By default, the T1 induces a signal directly into the ground. It
is the perfect companion to the SuperC.A.T range of cable and pipe
locators.
