Calibration Failure Screen – Signal Strength Too Low (Left) or Too High (Right)
Click the trigger to retry the calibration or toggle right to select exit and return to the main menu. If
the calibration failure screen appears, verify your setup and try again or call DCI Customer
Service.
1-Point Calibration (Above Ground)
1. Place the receiver and the transmitter (in its housing) on level ground, with both devices powered
up. They must be parallel to each other and spaced 10 ft (3 m) apart. Use a tape measure to
ensure the distance is 10 ft (3 m) from the center of the transmitter to the inside edge of the
receiver (as shown below in the 1-point calibration screen).
2. With the receiver in locate mode, verify that roll and pitch values are being displayed and that a
steady signal is being received from the transmitter. Record the transmitter’s signal strength at
the calibration distance (10 ft or 3 m) so that it can be compared to future signal strength values.
A change in signal strength can indicate that you are currently in an interference environment or
there is a problem with your equipment.
3. From the receiver main menu, select the calibration menu, and then select the 1-point calibration
option. The following screen will display.
