User's Handbook

Care of Equipment
• Use equipment only as directed in this User Handbook.
• Do not immerse any part of this equipment in water.
• Store in a dry place.
• Keep equipment in the case provided when not in use.
• If left for a prolonged period – remove alkaline batteries.
• Keep the unit clean and free of dust and dirt.
• Protect against excessive heat.
Care when Interpreting the Information provided by the Locator
• Like all locators – this instrument is locating and providing depth and current readings based on electromagnetic signals that radiate from the buried cable or pipe. In most
cases, these signals will enable the locator to pinpoint both position depth and current correctly.
• Beware – in some cases, other factors will distort the electromagnetic fields radiating from cables or pipes being located, resulting in incorrect information.
• Always locate responsibly and use information learned during your training to interpret the information provided by the locator.
• Do not provide information regarding cable or pipe depth to anyone unless authorized to do so by your company.
• Remember that depth measurements are to the center of the electromagnetic field or pipe – In the case of pipes, this may be significantly deeper than the top of the pipe.

FCC & IC Statement
Please take attention that changes or modication not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
RF Exposure Statement (SAR)
This device has been tested and meets general RF exposure requirement. For FCC&IC, the minimum separation distance for Limb-Worn accessories is 0mm.
L'équipement a été testé et satisfait aux exigences générales en matière d'exposition aux radiofréquences. Pour FCC et IC, la distance minimale entre les
attaches d'usure des membres est de 0 mm.
