will be displayed, indicating the strength of the signal from the target line. In this
position the tone from the speaker of the locator will be pulsed.
With the aid of the compass, the locator can be positioned in line with the target
line enabling both depth and current readings to be displayed.
As the locator is moved towards the left, the tail on the proportional right arrow
will reduce, the target position indicator will move from the left, towards the
centre, the pulsing tone from the speaker will reduce and the numerical signal
strength value will increase.
Use the proportional arrows, target position indicator and signal strength value to
guide the locator directly over the target line.
