changes to Target Steering or Remote Steering mode.

Place the receiver on the intended drill path beyond the FLP but within 35 ft. of the transmitter with its back
end (battery pack) facing the transmitter's current location. Position the receiver with the understanding that
Target Steering is designed to ensure the transmitter is perpendicular to the rear of the receiver by the time
the drill head reaches the target beneath the receiver.
