Transmitter
If the temp dot is black, the transmitter should be considered unreliable. If the transmitter overheats, it
may appear to operate normally; however, exposure to excessive temperatures greatly increases the like-
lihood of inaccurate information and will contribute to premature failure of the transmitter. The DCI war-
ranty does not apply to any transmitter that has been overheated or that has had its temp dot removed.
Avoid transmitter overheating by practicing proper drilling techniques. Abrasive soils, clogged jets, in-
adequate mud flow, and poorly mixed mud are some of the factors that can contribute significantly to the
risk of an overheated transmitter.
Sleep Mode (Automatic Shutoff)
LT2 transmitters will shut down (go into “sleep” mode) to conserve battery power if they are stationary for
15 minutes. To “wake up” the transmitter, simply rotate the drill string.
General Transmitter Care Instructions
Clean the springs in the battery compartment and the threads of the battery cap and O-ring to
provide proper signal return and watertight seal for the batteries. Emery cloth can also be used to
remove any oxidation buildup.
Verify that the transmitter fits snugly in the housing. It may be necessary to wrap the transmitter
with tape or O-rings.
Send in the Product Registration card for the 90-day limited warranty.
