Power On the Transmitter
Ensure region number in globe icon on transmitter matches
that on the receiver startup screen.
Install batteries in the SE 12 kHz transmitter.
Calibration Menu
Calibration is necessary prior to first-time use and before using a
different transmitter, receiver, or drill head. Calibrate in an
interference-free environment and with the transmitter in a housing.
Use a tape measure to check calibration daily.
1. Place transmitter in a housing on level ground 3 m from receiver
(measure from inside edge of receiver as shown).
2. Record signal strength for future use.
3. From the Main menu, select Calibration, 1PT CAL, and click to
calibrate.
4. Verify calibration by moving receiver ±1.5 m and holding trigger
to take another depth/distance reading.

Settings Menu
Use this menu to set the depth units, pitch units, and roll offset as
needed. Set the remote display to match receiver depth and pitch
settings.
Height-Above-Ground (HAG) Menu
HAG is the distance from the bottom of the receiver to the ground
while holding the receiver. Selecting HAG on the Main menu lets
you take accurate below-ground depth measurements without
placing the receiver on the ground. HAG shuts off during
calibration, after a power cycle, and when depth units are changed;
it is ignored during Remote Steering and in AGR mode.
Background Interference Check
In Locate mode with no active transmitters in range, turn on the
SE receiver and walk the bore path while checking for background
noise. Mark areas with increased background noise (red flags used
below).
One-Person Background Signal Strength Check
When drilling, the signal from the transmitter must be at least 150
points above the ambient background noise level. Where noise is
excessive, data signal may be temporarily random or unavailable.

Basic Locating
1. Find FLP and RLP by centering the target ball in the box.
2. At FLP, hold trigger for predicted depth reading.
3. Find LL by centering the line in the box between FLP and RLP
(see Locate screen on page 4).
4. View depth by holding trigger at LL.
