Operator’s Manual
The Target Steering procedure requires correct placement of the receiver. The receiver must be placed
out in front of the transmitter with its back end (where the battery pack is inserted) facing the drill or the
last locate points if drilling a curved path. The maximum horizontal distance from the transmitter that the
receiver should be placed is approximately 35 ft (10.7 m).
Programming the Receiver for Target Steering
The receiver must be programmed with the desired target depth number. To program the receiver, see
the instructions under "Target Steering Menu" in the Receiver section.
The figure below shows the receiver’s locate screen with the Target Steering distance at the bottom. This
number is the horizontal distance that the receiver is from the transmitter. You will use this number to help
you position the receiver a maximum distance of 35 ft (10.7 m) ahead of the tool.

ahead of the tool as the target, then select remote mode from the remote's main menu (see "Main Menu"
