GUIDANCE 

METER 

 

 

The centerline needle guides you toward the conductor. 

 

 

If the needle id in the right-hand (solid) portion of the 

 

 

Meter, move the Receiver to the right.  If the needle is 
in the left-hand  (broken) portion of the meter, move the 
Receiver to the left. 

 

 

 

 

 

BATTERY STATUS 

 

 

When the MODE SWITCH is turned to the Battery Test position, 
the meter needle should move to the right of the battery test arrow. 

 

2 

DIGITAL SIGNAL STRENGTH 

The signal strength is indicated on the LCD 
display when the MODE SWITCH is in the line-tracing mode 
(third position) or field strength only mode (fourth position). 
 

3 

DEPTH PUSH BUTTON 

In order to get a depth reading, the MODE SWITCH 
Must be in the third position.  Press and release this 
Button to get a conductor depth of the conductor in inches  
(or centimeters)
