way to confirm that you are locating the
induced signal in a line and not the signal
directly from the transmitter through the air (air
coupling).
Note: If you have been using the NaviTrack
transmitter in inductive mode, be certain to switch
inductive mode off if you are going to use the unit in
direct connect mode. Air coupling can create very
confusing signals if you inadvertently have the unit
set to inductive mode but are trying to use it in
direct connect mode.
Features
Variable Power Output
The power output can be adjusted to apply more
current to a line. Higher currents are easier to trace
as they create more signal for the receiver to track
but they also use the battery power faster.
1. Turn the unit on and press one of the
frequency buttons to select a frequency to use.
The LED representing that frequency will shine
steadily.

2. Press the same frequency key quickly and
release. One of five levels of output will be
shown by a flashing LED. The lowest is the
farthest to the left. Note the bar graph above
the LEDs for reference.

3. The original frequency LED will then come
back on constantly. (See the FCC limitation in
the specifications section for information on
frequencies and power output.)

represents the power level. If the frequency
selected corresponds to the same level of output,
the same LED will flash and then return to a
steady light.
Selecting another LED while the LED is steady will
change the frequency To change the power output
select another level while the LED is flashing. The
new power level will flash five times, and the LED will
then appear steadily over the chosen frequency. The
beep frequency will rise accordingly if you have
increased the power. If you check the power output
again by pressing the currrent frequency rapidly, the
new power-selection will be indicated by the LED
over it flashing rapidly.
