One-Person Background Signal Strength Check (No Transmitter)
Roll/Pitch Check
At the end of the bore path, turn the receiver to face toward the launch end, and install batteries in the
transmitter to power it up. Have a coworker hold the transmitter and stand a distance to your side
approximately 1.5 times the maximum depth of your intended bore. Walk together in parallel back toward
the launch end keeping the separation distance constant. Periodically stop and have your coworker
change the transmitter’s pitch and roll orientation so that you can verify the speed and accuracy of these
readings on the receiver. Note any locations where the display information becomes erratic or
disappears.
