INCORRECT CORRECT

As you move closer to the conductor the receiver’s sound be-

comes a higher (shrill) pitch. As you move away from the con-

ductor the pitch lowers and will eventually go away. Always

maintain a solid, non-beeping tone from the receiver to en-

sure proper alignment with the conductor.

PINPOINTING

Be careful when on a hill or steep bank. Try to keep the receiver

level, not parallel to the hill. The receiver will go towards the

strongest tone, and if it is kept parallel to the hill side that tone

will NOT be directly over the conductor as shown below. The

deeper the conductor is, the worse this problem becomes.
