The Plan View Screen
The Plan View screen shows a picture as if you were viewing the line from above ground. When the red line is in the center and
pointing forward/back you are directly over the line and pointing in the line's direction.

Using the Plan View screen
1. Apply the signal to the target line in the usual manner and select the Plan View screen by a long press on the return button
until the desired screen appears.
2. Position the locator within the approximate position of the target line. Use the Plan View to help guide you toward the target
line. You can imagine that the plan view is giving you a view into the ground.
3. Position yourself so that the target line is pointing forward/back and is centralized on the screen.

“Tram” lines on either side of the line indicate an area of confidence. The closer the tram lines are together, the greater the
confidence.
In addition to the tram lines the color of the target line also changes depending on the degree of confidence:
Green
: - low distortion/high confidence.
Blue
: - Minor distortion/medium confidence, proceed with care.
Red
: - Excessive distortion/low confidence. Treat all data and measurements with caution.
