Analog Bar-Graph Signal Indicator–the bar graph
corresponds directly to audio frequency by expand-
ing outward from the center “diamond” as the signal
increases due to magnetic metals.
Low Battery Indicator–Although not visible under normal
conditions the LCD will display a flashing “Low Battery”
warning when the batteries fall below a predetermined
voltage. This alerts you to replace the batteries soon.
Several hours of battery life remains. However, in cold
temperatures this usable time may be shorter.
Power Line Indicator
Feature–The electro-
magnetic fields radiated
from buried or overhead
power lines are picked
up by the new sensitive
electronic circuitry and
internally transformed
into a visually flashing
indicator in the display
window as shown:
The distance or
detection range from the
cables where the locator responds depends on the
energy being carried by the electrical conductors. The
higher the energy, the greater the distance the locator
will respond to it. If the cables are dead (no electrical
connection or energy transfer), then no visual indica-
tion will appear.
When the locator is turned ON, this feature is
activated immediately. This feature only responds to
50 or 60Hz power line frequencies and not to tele-
phone or TV cables. This feature is intended as an
aid only and not to be used for locating or pin-
pointing electrical cables.
The magnetic detection operation and performance
of the magnetic locator are completely independent
from the power line indicator feature.
