The initial search should be performed as follows:
1.
Set the Sensitivity control for maximum (XH indication).
2.
Hold the locator vertically approximately 1 to 1-1/2 feet above the surface.
3.
Walk along without turning or tilting the locator.
4.
Mark the locations where the maximum signal levels occur.
5.
Return to an area of maximum signal strength and hold the locator several inches above the
surface. The sensitivity will probably have to be reduced during this second pass. Four-inch
pipes can be located at depths up to 9 feet.

As shown in Figure 21, the GA-92XTd's signal pattern will vary depending on the vertical or horizontal
orientation of the drum and also how deep it is buried. A fifty-five gallon drum can be located at depths up
to 8 feet.
