Locating Screens
The Locate, Depth, and Predicted Depth screens are the primary screens you will use for locating. The type
of depth screen that displays depends on the position of the receiver relative to the transmitter at the time of
the depth reading.

Locate Screen
When the receiver is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the Locate screen provides real-time data about
the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, and signal strength.

Locate Screen with Transmitter in Range
If the transmitter is on and there is no roll or pitch data, hold the trigger for five seconds to engage Max Mode
and the data should appear.
The roll/pitch update meter displays the quality of roll/pitch data being received from
the transmitter. When the meter is empty, no roll/pitch data is being received, and
none will appear on either the receiver or the remote display. Depth and predicted
depth readings may still be taken, but the receiver will assume the transmitter has a
pitch of zero, as indicated by the image to the right appearing on the Depth or
Predicted Depth screen.
