Hold the trigger for longer than five seconds to enter Max Mode, as described in the previous section (use of
Max Mode has special requirements and restrictions). In this example, if the drill head travels an additional
6'00" at -0.2 % pitch, it will be directly below the locator at 8'07".
Depth Screen, Invalid Location
Hold the trigger at any time during locating to display the Depth screen. No depth or
predicted depth will appear if the receiver is not positioned at the locate line or front
or rear locate point. However, holding the trigger more than five seconds to enter
Max Mode may obtain more stable roll/pitch data (use of Max Mode has special
requirements and restrictions).

Interference
Interference can compromise a transmitter's signal even when drilling with an optimized frequency band. It is
important to the success of your bore that, after pairing your transmitter at a newly optimized frequency, you
check how the transmitter's signal will perform along the intended bore path.
To best overcome interference, find and deal with it above ground, before you start drilling.
