The default height-above-ground distances for the th
ree depth options are
1
00
for 1 ft 0 in.; “12 in” for 12 inches; or 0
30
for 0 m 30 cm. When using the
“Set” option described below, the units of measure will increase by 1-in.
increments if you are using English units and by 2-cm increments if using
metric units.
The height-above-ground function can also be helpful when the depth of
the transmitter is shallower than 24 in. (61 cm). If the receiver is placed on
the ground in this situation, it will be saturated with signal and you will not
see a depth number. Instead you will see four dashed lines ( — — — — )
where the distance/depth number should display. In cases like this, you can
use the height-above-ground function to increase the distance between the
receiver and the transmitter so that the signal does not saturate the
receiver.
When the height-above-ground function is enabled, you will see the height-
above-ground value on your locating screen, as shown in the following
figure. You must hold the receiver at this height to get accurate depth
measurements.

NOTE: When you turn off the receiver, calibrate, or change the depth units, the height-above-
ground function automatically turns off. The current height-above-ground setting reverts to
the default value if you change the depth units between English and metric.
There are three options in the height-above-ground menu:
 “On” turns on the height-above-ground function.
 “Off” turns off the height-above-ground function.
 “Set” allows you to set (change) the height-above-ground value.
