User guide for C A T and Genny and C A T and Genny The C A T and Genny combine to make the perfect general purpose tools for cable avoidance Their rugged construction ensures long life and reliability whilst the simple controls promote effective use with minimal training For those who require pinpoint accuracy and depth information the C A T and Genny add visual indication of signal strength together with a buried utility depth measurement capability Radiodetection www radiodetection com C A T Locator features 1 On Off Press and hold to use C A T a Na 1 2 Loudspeaker a4 D Detachable speaker for use in 3 noisy environment 3 Sensitivity control 4 Function switch i Selects locate mode G Power Radio Genny 5 Battery compartment To replace batteries open the access cover using a NY screwdriver or coin Use eight i LR6 or AA alkaline batteries WARNING When using the C A T in noisy environments the speaker can be detached and held closer to the ear To avoid excessive noise exposure it is advisable to hold the speaker no closer than 15cm 6 from the ear Prolonged use at this level should be avoided Genny Transmitter features 1 On Off button Press and hold to reduce speaker volume 2 Direct Connection socket 3 Loudspeaker 4 Battery compartment To replace batteries open the access cover using a screwdriver or coin Use four LR20 or D alkaline batte
