Power On/Off
On – To turn the LT receiver on, pull and hold the trigger in for 2 seconds and release. You will briefly see
a test screen, followed by a set of numbers that represent the firmware version in the receiver. Then you
will go to the standard locating mode display screen.
Off – To turn the unit off, you must first access the menu choices (see “Receiver Display Menus”). Click
the trigger until you reach the power on/off menu
, then hold the trigger in during the countdown from
3 to 0 to shut the receiver off.
Automatic Shutoff – The receiver will automatically shut itself off if no signal is received for 15 minutes.
Note that when the receiver power is turned off, the height-above-ground function is also turned off. If you
want to use the height-above-ground function, you must turn it on and reset (if needed) the value after
you turn on the receiver.
Proper Handling of Receiver
The receiver must always be held correctly to obtain
accurate readings. You must hold the receiver level
at all times and at a constant height above the
ground (see “Height Above Ground” discussion
later in this section).
You can hold the receiver so that it faces in the same direction as the transmitter (away from the drill) or
in the opposite direction, facing toward the drill (see figures below). For an accurate depth reading, you
must hold the receiver parallel to the transmitter and directly above it.
