Place the receiver on the intended drill path beyond the FLP but within 10.7 m 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.

Positioning the Receiver
for Target Steering
Depths are calculated based on the bottom of the receiver. The HAG value is still used in
Target Steering mode when taking a depth at the Locate Line (LL) or Front Locate Point (FLP).
Steering to the Target with the Remote Display
Refer to the operator's manual for your remote display for details on its Target Steering screen. Manuals are
located on the flash drive that accompanied the equipment or online at
.
Target Steering in Interference Areas
Interference can cause inaccuracies in the measurement of depth and placement of the locating
ball, and loss of the transmitter’s pitch, roll, or heading.
In areas of passive and/or active interference, it may help to physically elevate the receiver above the
ground. If raising the receiver above the ground, adjust the target depth to include the elevated height.
Turn Target Steering Off
To turn off Target Steering on the receiver, toggle down from the Target Steering screen to return to the
Locate screen. The receiver will now no longer act as a steering target. This also causes the remote display
to exit Target Steering mode.
