Lines of confidence (the closer these are to the target line indicates more confidence)

The Arrow indicates the direction to move toward the line. It only shows when the distance to the target line is far away
Using the Plan View screen
1. Apply the signal to the target line in the usual manner and select the plan view screen by a long press on the Return button
until the desired screen appears.
2. Position the locator within the approximate position of the target line. Use the plan view to help guide you toward the target
line. You can imagine that the plan view is giving you a view into the ground.
3. Position yourself so the target line is pointing forward/back and is centralized on the screen.

Tram lines on either side of the line indicate an area of confidence. The closer the Tram lines are together the greater the
confidence.
In addition to the tram lines the color of the target line also changes depending on the degree of confidence:
Green: - low distortion/high confidence.
Blue: - minor distortion/medium confidence, proceed with care.
Red: - excessive distortion/low confidence. Treat all data and measurements with caution.
4. If the target is off the screen an arrow will appear on the screen to help direct you to the target line.

5. As long as the locator is detecting a valid signal the depth or current will be available regardless of locator orientation, i.e.,
the locator does not need to be aligned with the target line in the forward back orientation. It is recommended that in this
mode the current is always displayed as the signal may bleed off onto other services. Regular checks on the signal current,
i.e., checking for large changes will ensure the correct line is detected.

described in a previous section, “Information Pushbutton (Depth & Current).”
