11.3 SideStep
™
If you are using a preferred locate frequency and having
difficulty locating the utility, interference could be
affecting the locate signal. SideStep allows the locator
to change the locate frequency by several Hertz.
This ‘new’ locate frequency can be sent via the
Bluetooth connection to the transmitter and will
automatically change the transmitter frequency to match
the ‘new’ locate frequency.
To step the frequency:
1 On the locator, select the frequency you want by
pressing the
key until the frequency is displayed
on screen
2 To step the frequency, press and hold the
key
until
STEP
appears on the LCD
3 Press the
key to send the SideStep command to
the transmitter
4 If the command is sent successfully, an asterisk (
*
)
will appear on the locator next to the frequency and
STEP will appear on the transmitter below the
frequency
5 Repeat this process to disable SideStep
