Predicted Depth Screen
Warning Because both front and rear locate points appear identical to
the receiver, an invalid depth prediction can be generated
when the receiver is over the rear locate point (RLP). Only a
depth reading at the front locate point (FLP) produces a valid
predicted depth.

and Locate Line (LL)

Hold the trigger at the front locate point (FLP) to display the Predicted Depth screen. The
predicted depth is the depth the transmitter is calculated to be at when it reaches the front
locate point if it continues on its current path.
Predicted Depth Screen at FLP with HAG On
Hold the trigger for longer than five seconds to enter Max mode, as described in the previous
section (use of Max mode has special requirements and restrictions). In this example, if the
drill head travels an additional 3'08" at -0.6 pitch, it will be directly below the locator at 2'08".
