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).

lateral position (heading) and take accurate depth readings.
