Locating Screens
The Locate, Depth, and Predicted Depth screens are the primary screens you will use for
locating. The type of depth screen that displays depends on the position of the receiver
relative to the transmitter at the time of the depth reading.
Do I have to know all this? Page 49
Yes. Get this down first, then you'll be ready to locate like a professional. If you want to
skip to Locating the Transmitter and feel like you're missing a little background
information, come back here for a refresher.
For a description of the icons on the Locate screens, see Appendix B.
Locate Screen
The first option in the Main menu is Locate Mode, which displays the Locate screen. The
Locate, Depth, and Predicted Depth screens are the primary screens you will use for locating.
The type of depth screen that displays depends on the position of the receiver relative to the
transmitter at the time of the depth reading.
When the receiver is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the Locate screen provides real-
time data about the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, and signal strength.
Locate Screen with Transmitter in Range
If the transmitter is on and there is no roll or pitch data, hold the trigger for 10 seconds to
engage Max mode and the data should appear. If it doesn't:
 The transmitter and receiver may not be on the same frequency band. Hold toggle right
at the locate screen to select the other frequency band.
 You may have the wrong transmitter model selected, such as FT2 instead of FT5p. From
the Main menu, select Transmitter selection to choose a different transmitter.
