Sonde mode, rotate the function switch until the LCD displays an S icon.
Getting Started
1. Grip the Loki receiver’s handle. Press and hold the trigger and listen for the
bleep indicating the batteries are OK. Replace both batteries if there is no
bleep or if the battery icon is flashing.
2. Select the appropriate mode.
3. Hold the Loki receiver with the blade vertical and with the lower edge just
above the ground. Do not swing it or tilt it more than a few degrees from the
vertical.
Swinging the Loki locator will affect locate accuracy.
