Receiver Main Menu Options
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.
Power Off – Turns the unit off accompanied by four long tones.
Telemetry Channel Menu – Changes the telemetry setting (channels 1 through 4)
or turns off the telemetry (channel 0). The receiver must be set to the same chan-
nel as the remote.
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.
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.
Target Steering Menu – Sets the target depth, turns on the Target Steering func-
tion, or returns the display to standard locate mode.
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. The HAG menu has three
options: Turn On, Turn Off, and Set. Set allows you to change the current height setting. Clicking the
trigger advances through each option, and holding the trigger in selects the option displayed.
The default setting for the HAG function is off. Until you turn on 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 1–3 ft, 12–36 in., or 30–90 cm. The menu will
time out if selections are not made within a few seconds.
