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.

Transmitter and feel like you're missing a little background information, come back here for a

Locate Screen
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.
Typical 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 not, the transmitter and receiver may not
be paired to the same frequency band.
