Warning Do not hold the trigger in unless you are precisely at the FLP (target
centered in box). If you are ahead of the FLP, you could set an
incorrect reference that causes a ghost locate line. In this case, you
must reference again at the FLP.
The depth value given at the FLP is the predicted depth, which is the depth the
transmitter is calculated to be at when it reaches the location beneath the receiver. If
the heading of the transmitter changes before it reaches the location under the
receiver, the predicted depth reading will no longer be accurate.
To verify that the signal is balanced through the receiver’s antenna, carefully rotate
the receiver 360° about the center of the display while keeping the receiver level. The
locating target should stay centered in the box. If it does not, do not continue to use
the receiver and contact DCI Customer Service.
6. With the target centered in the box, mark the ground directly below the receiver’s
display screen as the FLP.
