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 displays 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 screen. If calibration fails, two long beeps will
sound and a failure screen displays. Verify the setup and try again or call DCI
Customer Service.
2-Point Calibration Failure Screen
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.
If necessary, turn Height Above Ground (HAG) back on. See Set Height-Above-Ground
(HAG) Distance on page 13 for more information.
