Operator’s Manual
Transmitter Options Menu
The transmitter options menu displays the three transmitter options: 12-kHz battery-powered transmitter,
19-kHz battery-powered transmitter, and 12-kHz cable transmitter (see Transmitter section). The current
setting, which is for the battery-powered 12-kHz transmitter in the example shown below, is highlighted
for selection.
Transmitter Options Menu
Click the trigger to toggle between the three options, and hold the trigger in when the desired option is
highlighted. A checkmark will display on the screen, and you will hear the confirmation signal.
NOTE: Calibration is necessary whenever the transmitter option is changed so that the receiver
displays depth data correctly.
Target Steering Menu
The Target Steering function allows you to place the F2 receiver in front of the drill head to use as a
steering target. See The Target Steering Function section for detailed information on determining where
to place the receiver and how to steer to it. This section gives instructions for using the Target Steering
menu once a target depth number has been determined.
The target depth number can range from 2–99 ft (0–30 m) for the foot or meter value and from 0–11 in.
(0–98 cm) for the inches or centimeters value.
The first screen of the Target Steering menu turns on Target Steering to the target depth displayed: either
the default value (2 ft or 0.50 m) or the value that was most recently set. The second screen turns off the
Target Steering function and returns you to the standard locate mode screen. The third screen allows you
to program the target depth.
