4. Turn the receiver 90° from the transmitter heading while holding the receiver steady and level, and
again center the target in the box by moving the receiver forward or backward as needed. This is the
FLP, which is where the transmitter will end up if it does not get a steering command.
5. Mark the location directly below the display screen as the FLP.

Finding the Transmitter and the LL
1. At the FLP, turn again to face the drill head (and drill) and walk forward toward the last locate point.
2. Note that the LL appears in the top left of the display.
3. Walk forward and the LL moves closer to the box.
4. Center the LL in the box. You should now see an arrow pointing to the transmitter battery icon, which
indicates that the value is the actual transmitter depth.
NOTE: If the tool is shallower than approximately 28 in. (71 cm) you will see four dashed lines
( — — — — ) where the depth should display. This means that the receiver is too close to
the transmitter and it is getting saturated with signal (see “Height Above Ground” menu dis-
cussion in the Receiver section).
