Height-Above-Ground (HAG) Menu
The height-above-ground (HAG) function allows you to program a height measurement into the receiver
so that you do not have to set the receiver on the ground for a depth reading. Raising the receiver above
the ground is also helpful in passive interference situations. See “Interference: What It Is and How to
Check for It” in the Locating section.
The HAG menu has three options: Enable, Disable, and Set. Set allows you to change the current height
setting. The default setting for the HAG function is off. Until you enable or set a new HAG, the receiver
must be placed on the ground for accurate depth readings. The HAG function automatically shuts off
when depth units are changed, when Target Steering is used, and during calibration.
Before accessing the HAG menu to turn on or set the HAG, you should measure your desired HAG. To
do so, hold the receiver comfortably at your side and measure the distance from the bottom of the
receiver to the ground. The available values range from 12–100 in., or 0.30–2.54 m.
Enable/Disable HAG
When the HAG menu is accessed, a screen such as the following displays. If the HAG had previously
been enabled, the disable option would show automatically highlighted for selection.
HAG Menu Screen
Selecting the enable HAG option will turn on the Height-Above-Ground function to the value shown at the
bottom of the screen (default value or last set value). Depth readings must be taken with the receiver held
at this height.
Selecting the disable HAG option will turn off the HAG function. Depth readings must be taken with the
receiver on the ground.
