If you are using a preferred locate frequency and having difficulty locating the utility, interference could be affecting the locate signal. SideStep allows the locator to change the locate frequency by several Hertz. This ‘new’ locate frequency can be sent via the Bluetooth connection to the transmitter and will automatically change the transmitter frequency to match the ‘new’ locate frequency.

To step the frequency:

1. On the locator, select the frequency you want by pressing the key until the frequency is displayed on screen.
2. To step the frequency, press and hold the key until STEP appears on the LCD.
3. Press the key to send the SideStep command to the transmitter.
4. If the command is sent successfully, an asterisk (*) will appear on the locator next to the frequency and STEP will appear on the transmitter below the frequency.
5. Repeat this process to disable SideStep.
