4. From the receiver main menu, select the calibration menu option, and then select the 2-point
calibration option. The following screen will display.
2-Point Calibration, Obtain 1st Point
5. Click the trigger to obtain the first calibration point. The calibration-in-progress screen will display.
Do not move the receiver.
6. Once the first calibration point is obtained, the second calibration point screen will appear.
2-Point Calibration, Obtain 2
nd
Point
7. Lift the receiver 3 ft (or 1 m) directly up and click the trigger to initiate calibration of the second
calibration point. The calibration-in-progress screen will display again. Do not move the receiver.
8. Once the second point is obtained, the confirmation signal will sound and a checkmark will
display on the screen, indicating a successful calibration. The screen will then return to the locate
mode display. If calibration fails, two long beeps will sound and the calibration failure screen will
display. Verify the setup and try again or call DCI Customer Service.
After successfully completing the 2-point calibration procedure, verify the distance between the two
calibration points by taking depth measurements at each point and then determining the difference
between the two values. The difference should be 3 ft ± 2 in. (or 1 m ± 5 cm). Repeat these
measurements several times as you continue drilling to verify that the depth remains valid as the pitch of
the transmitter changes. This is called a two-point check.
