6. Select the new frequency band in the receiver's Band Selection menu.

The new band displays at the top of the Main menu. It may take up to 30
seconds for the transmitter to begin sending data on the new frequency;
return to the Locate screen and verify that transmitter data appears on the
display.

If any rotation is not completed within the prescribed time, or if any rotation continues for more than one full
revolution, the transmitter frequency change is canceled.

A warning symbol

in the roll indicator after changing bands on the receiver means the

transmitter has not yet been

calibrated

in this band. While locate positions and roll/pitch data will

be correct, depth readings will be incorrect.
