4. Once the option is selected, the receiver will automatically assess the user’s preselected frequencies.
5. The receiver will scan all available frequencies and display a progress bar and the list of frequencies assessed will be
displayed. The frequency under test is shown on the top line.
Frequency: 8.19kHz
491Hz
512Hz
80 dB
74 dB

6. A numerical value ranging from 0dB to 140dB will be shown next to the frequency list with 140dB being the least possible
interference detected and 0db with the largest amount of possible interference.
7. The results are ranked from the least interference possible at the top to the largest amount of most possible interference at
the bottom.
8. In this case, the higher the dB number (80dB), the less interference has been detected by the receiver.

Although frequency results appear to have less interference, it still is not the best choice to locate
certain utilities. These include but are not limited to a conductor, current output, resistance, and
signal bleed over adjacent utilities.
