2. Power on the receiver and from the Main menu
select Transmitter Selection , then Frequency
Optimizer (FO).

3. With the FO results active, walk the entire intended bore path with the receiver and note areas of
high background noise (active interference). The higher a frequency band's bar is on the graph, the
greater the interference. Note which band remains consistently low, since the band with the lowest
level of interference will likely be the one you want to use.
Assign Frequency Bands
1. On the receiver, use the toggle to move the selector on the bottom of the frequency optimizer graph
to the band you want to use and hold the trigger briefly to select.
2. Assign as the Up or Down band.
3. Optional: select and assign a second frequency band.
4. Select
Pair .
5. Insert batteries in the transmitter, positive end first, install the battery cap, and allow several
seconds for the transmitter to fully power on and begin sending data to the receiver.
6. Align the receiver and transmitter IR ports within four cm of each other. Select
to open the
pairing menu, then again to pair.
Interference Check
Now that your transmitter is paired with your receiver, walk the bore with
both the receiver and transmitter powered on to check for active
interference on both frequency bands. Interference

Calibrate
Perform a separate 1-point ( 1PT ) calibration for each newly optimized frequency
band in a low-noise area with the transmitter in a housing. Always calibrate after
assigning a new frequency band.

If you paired two bands and want to be able to switch between them later, calibrate both bands.
Above Ground Range Check
Perform an Above Ground Range check on the new optimized frequency band (or
bands) before drilling. The AGR screen displays automatically after calibration.

If the above-ground AGR distance at 15 m is not accurate, conduct a 15M
calibration (which also uses only one point) to improve the accuracy of the above-
ground distance measurement. A 15 m calibration is
not necessary for drilling.

The AGR check shows the distance between the receiver and transmitter without having to constantly hold
the trigger, as when taking a depth reading at the locate line.
