Basic Locating

centering the target ball in the box. Mark the positions.
2.
At the FLP, hold trigger for predicted depth reading. The Reference
indicator
R
icon will appear. The Locate Line (LL) may not appear if
this step is skipped.
3.
Find the LL by centering the line in the box between the FLP and RLP
(see Locate Mode screen on next page).
4.
View depth by holding the trigger at the LL on the line between the
FLP and RLP.
5.
To improve depth/data readings, hold the trigger five or more seconds
to enable Max Mode. See the
DCI DigiGuide App
for more information.
Changing Transmitter Frequency Band
Switch between Up and Down bands during pre-bore calibration or mid-
bore to overcome interference. See page 6 to change bands on the locator.
Above Ground – Power-On Method
Insert transmitter (Tx) batteries and battery cap with the Tx pointing
down (battery compartment on top) to power on in the Down band. Insert
batteries with the Tx pointing up to power on in the Up band.
Above Ground – Tilt Method (In or out of drill head)
Hold the Tx at the same (±2) general clock position (CP) for
this whole procedure. Hold Tx powered on at level (0±10°)
for at least five secs. Tilt Tx up at approx. +65° (almost
vertical) for 10–18 secs., then return to level for 10–18 secs.
When the Tx changes bands, data disappears from the
locator.
