Receiver
To access one of the main menu items, select the item and then click the trigger once. To select the
Low Fre/High Fre menu option, you must toggle right past the Configure menu. The result for each
menu item is shown in the table below.
Receiver Main Menu Options
Locate
Displays the locate mode screen (see “Locate Menu” section below). This
screen gives a bird’s-eye view showing the transmitter’s position (see the
Locating section in this manual). It also provides information such as battery
status, temperature, roll, pitch, and signal strength. If the receiver is over the
locate line (LL) and the trigger is held in, the depth is shown; if over the front
locate point (FLP), the predicted depth is shown.
Power Off
Turns off the Eclipse receiver. Use the toggle to select Power Off, then click
the trigger.
Set US
Sets the ultrasonic (US) height setting, which is the height of the receiver
above the ground. See “Set US Menu” section below.
Configure
Presents another set of menu options. See the “Configure Menu” section for
an explanation of the Configure menu options.
Low Fre /
High Fre
Changes the receiver’s frequency setting—for use with the dual-frequency
transmitter. See “Low Fre/High Fre Menu” provided below before the
“Configure Menu” section.
NOTE: The frequency setting displayed at the main menu is actually asking if
you want to change to that setting. For example, if you see Low Fre, then the
receiver is set to receive high-frequency signals, and clicking on Low Fre will
change the receiver setting to low frequency. If you see High Fre, then the
receiver is set to receive low-frequency signals, and clicking will change the
setting to high frequency.
For more information on the operation of the dual-frequency transmitter, see
the sections entitled “Starting the Transmitter in Dual- and Single-Frequency
Modes” later in this section and in the Transmitter section.
