When sensitivity is too low, or display shows 9999, press the LOCATE (▲) button.

Sensitivity will be adjusted automatically.

※When adjusting sensitivity, displayed value is relative value of 9000.

Ⅵ) Position measurement precautions

a) When moving the locator, ensure the height from the ground remains the same.

Failure to do so can result measurement errors.

b) Keep locator at consistent posture when moving it.

Avoid tilting or twisting of the locator as this can cause measurement errors.
