operating mode and pressing the yellow “ENTER” button. Screen will appear as shown
in Figure 3.2c
3. Hold the receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the target area.*
4. Scan target area with Tip Sensor to find highest signal level. While tracing, periodically

5. Press ENTER when complete to return to Home screen.
*Note: For best results, keep the receiver at least 3 feet from the transmitter and its test
leads to minimize signal interference and improve wire tracing results.
De-energized mode uses a different antenna in the Tip Sensor than in energized mode.
Specific alignment of the Tip Sensor groove to the wire is not required. De-energized wire
tracing results are based only on how close the Tip Sensor is to the wire.
