1Caution
The user must understand safety procedures and correct operation methods before operating the
HDD and the locating system.
HDD machines can cause property damages and personal injuries upon striking underground
power lines, gas lines, phone lines, television cables, fiber optic cables, or sewage lines. Make
sure to confirm and mark all underground utilities before operations.
Do not use the locating system near flammable and explosive substances.
Wear proper safety gear including steel-toed boots, safety gloves, helmets, reflective vests, and
safety goggles.
Obey all the local safety regulations.
This locating system is only a tool to assist the operator to locate the drill head. It is the operator
not the Mag series locating system that is responsible for identifying the drill head location.
Underground Magnetics is not responsible for any loss caused by using the Mag series. Users
should operate the Mag according to the manual. If you have any questions, please contact
Underground Magnetics.

3.6 Receiver maintenance
a）The receiver uses rechargeable lithium batteries. The receiver will automatically shutoff if
there is no key pressed over a time period of 20 minutes or if there is no information received
from the transmitter. It is strongly recommended that the batteries are taken out of the receiver if
not to be used for a long period of time to avoid potential erosion from a leaking battery.
b）The receiver is an electronic measurement device. Severe shock and impact can damage the
housing and the electronics inside the housing. Treat the receiver as a measurement device.
c）Keep the receiver away from excessive heat to avoid damages to the plastic housing and
electronics inside the housing.
d）Do not submerge the receiver in excessive amounts of water.
4.Battery and Charger
Mag locators use alkaline C-cell batteries or lithium rechargeable batteries.
This lithium rechargeable battery comes with a special charger. Any use of other
lithium rechargeable battery or charger for the receiver may cause fire, explosion,

leaking or other damages. Keep the battery at the normal temperature of 15-25
degrees Celsius. Extreme high or low temperatures will short the battery life. Do not
submerge the battery in water or any other liquids. Do not throw the battery into fire.
Do not disassemble the battery. Avoid any kind of damage to the battery. Do not
discard the battery as normal trash. Please dispose of it properly.
When charging the battery, red light of the charger is on. When charging complete,
green light will be on. Please place the battery properly as shown in the diagram.
