Locate Mode
When the receiver is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the Locate screen
provides real-time data about the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, fluid
pressure (when a fluid pressure transmitter is used), and signal strength.

Power Off
Select Power Off from the Main menu to turn the receiver off. The receiver automatically shuts down after 15
minutes of inactivity, or after 30 minutes when in Target Steering mode.
Is it okay to power off by pulling the battery out?
Yes, your Falcon can handle it.
Calibration and AGR
Use the Calibration menu to calibrate the receiver to a transmitter and to verify the Above Ground Range
(AGR). Calibration is required prior to first-time use and before using a different transmitter, receiver, drill
head, or optimized transmitter band. Calibration is not necessary, however, when switching between bands
on a transmitter that are already paired and calibrated.
Calibrate each band separately
If you select an optimized band that has not been calibrated yet, appears in the roll indicator.
Calibrate and verify Above Ground Range separately for each optimized frequency band prior to
each job. Calibration affects depth readings, but not roll/pitch.
