Basic Locator Operations

The following operations take place when the LOCATOR indicator is

lit to signify you’re in Locator mode.

Storing a Locator

1. Press LOCATOR•BANK if it’s not already lit.

Each locator bank contains 10 memory slots, numbered from 0-9, in which a locator

can be stored. These memory slots correspond to the 0-9 buttons on the numeric

keypad. When a locator’s been stored in a slot, its button lights on the keypad.

2. Press any 0-9 button on the keypad to store the locator in the corresponding

memory slot. If you’d like to store the locator in a different locator bank, see

“Changing Locator Banks” and press the desired button in the selected bank.

3. If a memory slot already contains a locator, and you want to store a new locator

there, you’ll have to ﬁrst clear the older locator. See “Clearing a Locator” below.

Recalling a Locator

1. Press LOCATOR if it’s not already lit.

2. If the currently selected locator bank contains the locator you want, press the

locator’s lit button on the keypad. To recall a locator from another bank, follow the

instructions in “Changing Locator Banks” and press its button in the selected bank.

Changing Locator Banks

1. Press LOCATOR if it’s not already lit. If any locators are stored in the currently

selected locator bank, their buttons light on the numeric keypad.

2. While holding down SHIFT, press LOCATOR•BANK. The button for the currently

selected bank lights solidly, and the other keypad buttons ﬂash.

3. Press 0-9 to select the desired locator bank—if locators are stored there, their

numbers light on the keypad.

Clearing a Locator

1. Press LOCATOR if it’s not already lit. If you’d like to clear a locator from a different

bank, see the instructions in “Changing Locator Banks” ﬁrst.

2. While holding down CLEAR, press the desired locator’s button on the keypad. The

locator is cleared from that memory slot, and the button’s light turns off.

Other Locator Operations

Editing Locators

You can edit locators on the UTILITY menu’s LOCATE screen. You can name them,

clear them, create them, change their positions and jump to them from this screen.

1. Press UTILITY.

2. Press PAGE repeatedly until “LOCATE” appears over F5.

3. Press F5 (LOCATE).

You can use the Locator feature’s Safe mode to perform locator

operations more carefully from list in a LOCATOR window. See Page 187.
