So I Just Paired, Now What?
After pairing, the receiver proceeds to the calibration screen as a
reminder that with the selection of a new frequency band, the transmitter
and receiver need to be calibrated. Install the transmitter in the drill head
and calibrate.
Calibration
Page 14
Prior to calibration, "Calibration required" is indicated on the Locate screen by an error symbol in
the roll indicator in place of the roll value. To change between bands mid-bore, both bands must be
separately selected and calibrated prior to drilling.
Before or during drilling, switch between bands any time if interference is
compromising the current band.
Changing Frequency Bands
Page 63
After pairing optimized frequency bands, for typical operations your next
steps before drilling would be:
l calibrate
l check Above Ground Range (AGR)
l check for background interference
Complete each of these checks on both optimized frequency bands.
