Description
A
– Indicates signal attenuation is in effect due to the presence of excessive
interference, or when locating within 3 ft. of the transmitter. The receiver automatically attenuates
the transmitter signal when locating at shallow depths to reduce excessive signal strength. The
A
displays at the bottom left of the
(page 14) or at the bottom left of the
(page 31) on the locate screen. Attenuation while locating in close proximity to the
transmitter is normal; attenuation during calibration or frequency optimization is a warning to
relocate to a location with less interference. The receiver will not calibrate when the signal
strength is flashing, indicating the presence of extreme interference.
Page 18
– Displays after a failed calibration, often because the transmitter is too
close to the receiver.
Page 21
– Displays after a failed calibration, perhaps because the transmitter is
not yet powered on or paired with the receiver.
Page 21
– Displays after a failed calibration. If attenuation is in effect due to
only moderate interference, the system will still calibrate; however, it is best practice to relocate to
a quieter location where attenuation is not in effect. If the signal strength on the locate screen is
flashing, this indicates extreme interference, and a calibration will fail.

– Shown on the receiver startup screen, the number inside (shown blank here)
identifies the regional designation, which must match that on the transmitter battery
compartment.

– Represents the ground for the HAG function and depth readings.
Page 31
– The locate line (LL) always displays perpendicular to the transmitter. The locate
line (LL) is found between the front and rear locate points only after a reference lock (see below)
has been obtained. May also include the transmitter yaw angle in degrees.

,
– Represents the front and rear locate points (FLP and RLP). When the
locate line appears, the locating ball will become a solid circle (ball) representing the
approximate locate point.

(the receiver) – Represents a bird’s-eye view of the receiver. The square at the top
of this icon is referred to as the “box” in the terms
Ball-in-the-Box
™ and Line-in-the-Box
locating.

– Max Mode begins when the trigger is held longer that five seconds during a depth
reading.
Page 32
– Provides a visual indication that Max Mode is active (trigger held). Replaces
the roll/pitch update meter.
Page 32
– Indicates that since no pitch data is currently available, the pitch is
assumed to be zero for depth, predicted depth, and AGR calculations.
Page 30
– Shows the remaining battery life of the receiver. Appears above
the main menu. When battery life is low, the icon will flash on the Locate screen.
Page 12
– Indicates the position of the receiver relative to the ground for the HAG function,
depth readings, and the Target Steering function.
Page 31
R
– Indicates a reference signal has been obtained for displaying the locate line.
Displays at the top of the Locate screen.

RO
– Indicates roll offset is enabled. Displays at the bottom right of the roll
indicator.
