DIGITAL CONTROL, INC

42

Calibrate BOTH bands before drilling so you get accurate depth
readings on both bands.

STEP 2 OF 4

Observe signal strength drop after the drill operator completes a roll
sequence to change bands.

When using a wideband transmitter and the 10-2-7 roll
sequence, transmitter data will disappear after a successful
band change.

STEP 3 OF 4

From the Locate Mode screen, hold toggle right to open the Band Selection
shortcut menu.

STEP 4 OF 4

Toggle to and select the transmitter band without the X in the box (in this
case B ).
