showing the depth of line, signal current and a hand with the “SD” icon positioned over the return
pushbutton. Pressing the return pushbutton will synchronize the system and return the unit to the
locate screen. The top portion of the bezel surrounding the compass will light and not be flashing
indicating the receiver is locked onto the signal. The system is now synchronized.

Proceed to locate, trace, pinpoint as required ensuring at all times the top portion of the compass
bezel remains illuminated.
•
If at any time top portion of the bezel ceases to be illuminated and the bottom portion of the compass
bezel lights up – you are not locating the correct line, you are locating a line which is carrying the
return signal.
•
At some point you may find that the top or bottom portion of the compass bezel together with the SD
icon and start flashing – this is indicating that synchronization with the transmitter has deteriorated
and a reset is required.
