momentarily
and then
OK
if the transfer is successful.
4 If the transfer is unsuccessful, the LCD will display
an error code. Refer to table 11.1 for a list of codes
and their meaning.
If the process fails, you may be out of range or there may
be an error in the connection. Move closer to the
transmitter and retry the procedure. If the connection
continues to fail, return to the transmitter and reset the
connection using the procedure described in Section 11.
NOTE: If you are locating a sonde frequency, an iLOC
command to a paired transmitter will automatically set
that transmitter to standby to eliminate interference from
the transmitter.
Adjusting power
iLOC let
s you adjust the transmitter’s power output

11.7 SideStep
™
If you are using a preferred locate frequency and having
difficulty locating the utility, interference could be
affecting the locate signal. SideStep allows the locator to
change the locate frequency by several Hertz.
