  5. Pinpoint the Transmitter Location:

    • As you get closer to the sonde, the sound frequency and the bars on the LCD screen will rise. The highest tone and the most bars indicate the exact location of the transmitter.
  6. Monitor Signal Strength:

    • Keep an eye on the 15-level signal strength indicator displayed on the screen to track your proximity to the transmitter.
    • When the indicator reaches the 11th level, you're right over the target.
