Marking Locate Points
The locate points (FLP and RLP) and the locate line (LL) must be found and accurately marked during the
locating procedure. To mark a locate point after you have found it, stand with the receiver level and
directly above the locate point. Look down the vertical axis that runs through the center of the display to
project a plumb line to the ground (see figure below). The point where this plumb line hits the ground is
the location that you should mark.

HANDLING THE RECEIVER
NOTE: It is critical that you hold the receiver correctly to obtain accurate readings. You must hold the
receiver level at all times and maintain a constant height-above-ground (HAG) distance
that matches the value set on the receiver (see “Height-Above-Ground (HAG) Menu” in the
Receiver section).
