Receiver Main Menu Options
Locate Mode – Opens the locate mode screen where transmitter data is
displayed. See “Standard Display Screens” later in this section.
Power Off – Turns the unit off accompanied by four long tones.
Calibration Menu – Calibrates the receiver to the transmitter using the above-
ground (1-point) method or the below-ground (2-point) method. Calibration is
necessary prior to first-time use and before a different transmitter, receiver, or drill
head is to be used. See “Calibration Menu” below for more information.
Height-Above-Ground (HAG) Menu – Turns on, turns off, or sets the height at
which the receiver will be held during depth readings. This feature allows you to
take a depth reading without placing the receiver on the ground. See “Height-
Above-Ground (HAG) Menu” below for more information.
Settings Menu – Changes the depth units, pitch units, and transmitter options, and
activates the roll offset function, which is used when the transmitter’s roll position
must be compensated to match the drill head’s roll position. See “Settings Menu”
below for more information.
Transmitter Selection Menu – Displays the transmitter type and frequency
options. See “Transmitter Selection Menu” below and the Transmitter Section for
more information.
DigiTrak LWD (Log While Drilling) Menu – Opens the LWD menu where you can
setup to record a drilling or pull back job, view a logged job, upload logged data to
a computer, or delete a log. See the “DigiTrak LWD (Log While Drilling Menus”
below and the DigiTrak LWD Manual for more information.
Pre-Drill Checklist – Allows you to check the internal level of the F5 receiver and
perform a receiver self test. If you have any questions about the operation of this
menu item or suspect a failure, contact DCI for support.

versions, identification, and configuration of the unit.
