DIGITAL CONTROL INCORPORATED
xiv DigiTrak F5 Operator’s Manual
Note If an item of the self-test fails, a warning displays and a failure message
appears in place of the system name. For example, a new or reset
receiver may display a message indicating a 10-ft calibration is required
(see Calibrate Receiver to Transmitter on page 6). If the error is not
addressed in this manual, please contact DCI Customer Service.
Using the Keypad
A keypad is provided in several menus for entering values at the receiver. It is
used for setting the height-above-ground value in the HAG function, setting a
target depth in the Target Steering function, and programming rod lengths and a
survey point in the DataLog function. A variation of the keypad is used to set the
date and time when using the DataLog function, as discussed in Settings Menu on page xvi.
Standard Keypad
To input a value, toggle to and click the desired number. Do this for each digit from left to
right. When a decimal value is required (such as for feet only or meters), then the last two
digits entered will be to the right of the decimal point. If a whole value is desired in this case,
then enter two zeros at the end of the value. To delete the last digit entered, select the
backspace key. Once the desired number is in the display window, toggle to highlight the
return arrow and click the trigger to lock in the value and turn on the function.
Main Menu
To access the main menu from the startup screen, click the trigger. When locating, you can
access the main menu by pulling the toggle switch down (toward the handle). Use the toggle
to highlight different menu options and click the trigger to select a menu option.
The main menu spans two screens, as shown below. A down arrow in the lower right
corner indicates more menu options below (on the next screen); an up arrow indicates
more options above (on the previous screen).
