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 measure-
ments 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.
