SOLUTION
Check that the correct frequency has been se-
lected on both units (See manual for the specific re-
ceiver). Higher or lower frequencies may be tried.
Make sure that the proper functions are activated on
the receiver. e.g. activating the line trace function for
line tracing (See manual for the receiver).
Ensure grounding is adequate.
Adjust power output upward if possible.
Try Powering the unit OFF and then back ON.
Allow the unit to cool if it has been exposed to ex-
cessive heat from sunlight.
Check orientation of batteries.
Check that the batteries are fresh or charged.
Inspect battery contacts.
Change transmitter frequency to 93696 Hz by se-
lecting RIDGID-Old on manufactures menu.
Check that receiver is set to the actual 93kHz
frequency of 93,622.9 Hz. Some receivers use a
different frequency for 93 kHz (93,696). Update
SeekTech receiver software.
