3. Holding the receiver level, observe the position of the locating target ( ) relative to the receiver box
on the display. The figures below illustrate what you might see on the display and the actual position
of the receiver, transmitter, and locate points. Note that the FLP is ahead of and to the left of the

4. Walk in the direction indicated by the picture on the screen to center the target in the box, which is
forward and to the left in this example.
5. When the target is centered in the box, hold the trigger in for one second so the receiver can get a
“lock” on the reference signal. The “R” symbol will appear at the top of the depth screen.
WARNING: Do not hold the trigger in unless you are precisely at the FLP (target centered in box). If
you are ahead of the FLP, you will set an incorrect reference that causes a ghost locate
line. In this case, you must reference again at the FLP.
