1.  Install batteries into the transmitter positive side 

down and install the battery cap with the provided 
battery cap tool. 

 It is recommended that a double C lithium cell 

battery be used if operating in adverse soil 
conditions (like rock). This will prevent battery 
chatter, which can greatly reduce the life of 
normal C cell batteries. One double C lithium 
cell battery is included in your Mag System. 

2.  Turn on receiver by holding the power 

button 

down until the Mag logo is visible on the screen. 
Once the receiver is on, the screen will display the 
information being sent from the transmitter. 

 The transmitter model, frequency and power 

level will be in the lower left hand of the 
screen. 

 The distance from receiver to transmitter, 

transmitter temperature, transmitter signal 
strength, and signal to noise ratio will be 
displayed across the top of the screen.
