BATTERY INDICATOR - The battery symbol indicates the receiver's battery status. When
all 3 segments inside the battery symbol are present, the battery is fully charged. When
only the 2 bottom segments are present, the battery has a medium charge. When only
the bottom segment is present, the battery has a low charge and should be replaced. If
there are no segments present, the battery is extremely low and you should replace it
immediately.
GAIN INDICATOR - The "Ⓐ" indicates that the gain is in the automatic mode. In this
mode, the receiver adjusts its sensitivity as a function of the strength of the detected
signal. No bar graph is shown in this mode.
If the "Ⓐ" is not visible, the receiver is operating in the manual gain mode; therefore, a
means to show the user the relative gain setting is necessary. The bar graph indicates
the relative strength of the gain.
Each time the UP or the DOWN arrow is pressed, the gain is adjusted by 1/30th of the
full scale range and the gain level, preceded with an "L", is shown temporarily to the
user on the main signal display. The bar graph will change with approximately 6 presses
of the UP or DOWN arrow. The user may press and hold the UP or DOWN button to
change the gain rapidly.
FREQUENCY/MODE INDICATOR – There are different icons displayed depending on the
model. u-LOCATE+ has 5 icons "512 HZ", "33 kHz", "82 kHz", and "Passive Arrow" are
on the upper left, and "SONDE" in the lower center. u-LOCATE has 3 icons "512 Hz",
"33 kHz" and "Passive Arrow" located in the upper left.
These icons are used by themselves, or in various combinations to indicate different
operating modes, as shown in the following table, where (C) is Direct Connect mode,
(IC) is inductive clamp mode, and (I) is inductive mode. See CHAPTER I: u-LOCATE
OPERATING MODES for a description of these modes.

(**) The number 50 or 60 shows briefly on the numeric display upon entering this mode,
indicating which line frequency the unit is programmed to locate in passive mode.
