7. When the locating ball reaches the bottom of the screen, the locate line appears and the ball turns

solid black to indicate your focus should now be on the LL.

If the locate line does not appear and the ball flips to the top of the screen, hold the trigger while moving
the receiver in a forward/backward direction over where the ball flips. This action should re-reference
the receiver to the transmitter’s signal and bring up the locate line. If it does not, return to the FLP to re-
reference (see step 1).

Do not rely on the alignment of the ball with the vertical crosshair to identify the left/right position of the
transmitter. Accurately locating the front and rear locate points is required to determine the transmitter’s
lateral position (heading) and take accurate depth readings.
