Receiver
To track the transmitter in dual-high mode, if there is no metal interference:
1. Return to the main menu screen, select High Fre from the main menu, and click the trigger.
2. Select Locate, and click the trigger.
3. You will see DH for Dual High on the left side of the screen, directly above the thermometer symbol.
4. Verify that the signal strength in the housing at a distance of 10 ft (3 m) is 520 to 530, and record the
value.
Starting the transmitter in single-frequency mode
Loading Batteries
for Single Mode
1. Remove the battery cap, and hold the transmitter vertically with the battery
compartment down and the front end pointing up (see diagram).
2. Load two C-cells (or a SuperCell lithium battery) into the battery compart-
ment with the positive terminal entering first.
3. Replace the battery cap while rotating the transmitter in this vertical position.
4. Power up the receiver, and verify that the main menu option shows Low
Fre.
5. Select Locate, and click the trigger.
6. You will see SH for Single High on the left side of the screen directly above
the thermometer.
7. Verify that the signal strength in the housing at a distance of 10 ft (3 m) is
approximately 565, and record the value.
Calibrating the receiver to the dual-frequency transmitter
in dual-frequency mode
The following instructions will require you to perform two calibration procedures—once for low frequency
and once for high frequency.
1. Start up the dual-frequency transmitter in dual-frequency mode (see instructions above), and place it
in the housing.
2. Power up the receiver.
3. Verify that you see Low Fre on the main menu display (toggle right past Configure). If you see High
Fre, select High Fre, and click the trigger. The display will then change to show Low Fre (which
means the receiver is detecting the transmitter’s high-frequency signal).
4. With the transmitter in the housing, measure 10 ft (3 m) from the centerline of the transmitter to the
bottom inside edge of the receiver below the display window (see figure above entitled “10-Foot
Measurement for 1-Point Calibration”)—this should be measured to the bottom inside edge of the
receiver where it meets the ground, not the upper edge at the display, which is wider.
5. Verify that the signal strength at 10 ft (3 m) is approximately 530 to 540, and record the value (this
requires you to go into locate mode; the signal strength is near the bottom of the screen).
6. Verify that the transmitter is sending proper pitch, roll, battery, and temperature status information
(pitch and roll are viewed from the locate mode screen; battery and temperature status are viewed
from the depth display screen—see the Locating section).
