500-TPRM.
- Alpha said that the
short-range locators (later called Turbo Navigators) in the Power Boxes would lead Tommy and Kat straight to Lerigot.
- Using his short-range locator, Tommy located Lerigot
with what looked like a thermal map of the area or perhaps a color-coded
elevation map.
- Tommy had a short-range
locator with him on the Ghost Galleon,
apparently having brought it along with his Power Box in his Turbozord; the locator was unable to get a
lock on Lerigot as they approached Muiranthias once inside the Nemesis Triangle.
- The short-range locator showed readings of two
approaching torpedoes which had been
launched from Divatox's subcraft.
502-SIT2.
- The short-range locator was now known as a Turbo
Navigator.
- The Turbo Navigator automatically responded to
any extraterrestrial organism or device, so no alterations were
necessary to make it track detonators.
- On the Power
Chamber's main console was a panel labeled "Signal Scan," and Justin used the controls to make a Turbo Navigator
appear from blue energy from the panel.
- When Tommy flipped up the
lid on the Turbo Navigator, its main screen read, "Turbo Navigator
Activated," then displayed a 3-D grid of the power plant.
504-Shad.
- Tommy and Justin scanned a construction site with a Turbo
Navigator after learning there was trouble there.
505-TrIm.
- Tanya had brought a Turbo
Navigator to the radio station with her in
her bag; when it began chirping in reaction to the detonator Elgar had
planted outside, Tanya could hear it through her
headphones.
- Looking at the Turbo Navigator's display, Tanya said a detonator
had to be close by.
- When Kat arrived, Tanya told her that her Turbo Navigator (referring
to it as her own) had detected a detonator
near the broadcast tower.
507-BFSp.
- Tommy and Justin had been in the Power Chamber charging the Turbo Navigators
when one of them had picked up a detonator
in Angel Grove.
- The five teens split up,
each with a Turbo Navigator, to search for the detonator.
- After destroying the first Demon Racer, Adam continued to use his Turbo Navigator while
morphed; as Rob's car drove by with
the detonator inside, the Navigator alerted
Adam to its location.
509-WLie.
? The Rangers searched the car wash for a detonator without using a Turbo Navigator.
510-GlHa.
? The five teens together searched backstage at the stunt show for a detonator, without using a Turbo Navigator.
512-Al&D.
? Prompted by Dimitria's questions, the teens figured out that Divatox was setting off alarms to distract them
from her detonator, and they split up to
search for it; although Kat and presumably the
other three teens as well used Turbo
Navigators, Justin wasn't using one when he was
confronted by Reggie and Junior in the park.
- When Kat picked up a detonator signal on her Turbo Navigator, she
returned to the Power Chamber, where Alpha fed the coordinates into the Power Chamber's computer to follow the detonator's movement.
513-MiMe.
- After Blue
Senturion had left, morphed Justin used a
Turbo Navigator to discover a detonator
somewhere, and he suspected it was on Blue
Senturion.
? When the Rangers split up to look for Blue Senturion, Tommy and Kat searched an
industrial site without a Turbo Navigator.
514-ADTW.
- At a soccer game with Tanya, and Kat as Adam coached, Justin had
brought a Turbo Navigator in his backpack just in case Divatox tried to follow up her attack on Carlos and Ashley.
? When his Turbo
Navigator beeped in response to a detonator
in the scoreboard as the teens returned to the
soccer game, Justin figured he hadn't heard it
with the noise of the crowd earlier, but when he heard it, the crowd was
quite noisy, and they had been away from the crowd when they'd left to
morph earlier.
- The Turbo Navigator showed a photorealistic
zoom-out on the scoreboard.
515-Cars.
- Justin was in the Power Chamber having charged the Turbo
Navigators when the other four teens came in to
use them to search for a detonator they
suspected Divatox had planted, but they had to
morph to fight Griller first.
- When the Rangers
later went after the detonator, only Red Ranger had a Turbo Navigator.
517-Shr2.
- Holding a Turbo Navigator after shrunken Tommy had called Justin in
the Power Chamber, Alpha discovered there was a detonator where the shrunken Rangers were headed while riding the torpedoes.
521-TWOF.
- Lightning
Cruiser's display looked identical to a Turbo Navigator display; it
had menu bars of Analysis (blue, flashing at first), Search (red,
flashing afterward), and Navigate (green); below the menu bars was
"Bowzock Search Mode / Mode A - Energy Emission Scan."
524-VAct.
- While he and the guys
played basketball, Justin had a Turbo Navigator
in his bookbag which he grabbed before everything else around the teens had managed to vanish.
- Tracking invisible Piranhatron, the Turbo Navigator's display
was identical to the Lightning
Cruiser display from 521-TWOF, with the
Analysis menu bar flashing; on a grid, the screen showed Ranger-colored blips for the teens and a swarm of red blips moving in on them.
- Later, morphed Justin
led the other Rangers after an energy
source through Angel Grove with the Turbo
Navigator, but they passed right by the street Translucitor and the villains were on.
- The Rangers
summoned Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster to help them track Translucitor after they hadn't
had much luck following the Turbo Navigator.
- After the guys were
captured, morphed Ashley and Cassie tracked them down with the Turbo Navigator
Justin had left in Storm Blaster.
? In the US footage,
the Turbo Navigator's lid was silver, but in the sentai footage, it was
black with a C emblem on it.
- When Ashley opened the
Navigator's lid, it read, "Standing by," and then showed its normal
screen with "search" flashing and the text "Bowzock Search Mode" and
"Mode A - Energy Emission Scan"; the display showed pink and yellow
ovals for the girls and a triangular red icon
representing the invisible Translucitor.
? As the girls tracked Translucitor, the "standby"
screen was on the display inside the lid, which was otherwise never
used; the regular display was then shown on the main screen.
- Regularly on the Turbo Navigator's screen but
seldom seen clearly were a row of yellow buttons down the upper left
side: "Power," "Mode," "Map," "Cancel," and "Shift"; along the bottom
were a blue "Multi Func." button, a yellow stop button, a green "MR."
button, a yellow rewind button, a red record button, a blue play button,
a yellow fast-forward button, and a red "Em." button.
- In small text below the "Mode A > Energy
Emission Scan" line was, often seen but rarely discernable, the
following: "Scanning Ranger >20 Km Inner / Energy Type
>D2MG434R.5522 / Interactive Com. Fank > Active".
- Ashley thought to
transform the Turbo Navigator into gun mode, called Defender Mode, to
have its blast follow Translucitor, enabling the Rangers to follow it to the monster's
location.
- On one side of the Turbo Navigator's handle was
"Carranger" written in red
text.
- Once the Turbo Navigator was in Defender Mode,
its small fold-out display screen on its left side showed a graphical
map of the terrain, with the words "Lock on" as it locked on to Translucitor's position.
- The Turbo Navigator Defender Mode shot a red
stream of energy which went around corners to hunt down the invisible Translucitor and blast him.
- Ashley thought to
combine the tracking of the Turbo Navigator with the firepower of T.J.'s Auto Blaster
(which he transformed into Turbo Mode before joining the weapons),
creating what T.J. called an Auto Blast Defender.
- The Auto Blast Defender shot a red stream of
flaming energy which knocked Translucitor down and caused
everything which he'd turned invisible to return.
? When Cassie used the Turbo Navigator in the Turbo Navigator, the title bar of the lid
monitor had a menu bars of "Date," "Energy" (lit up red), and "On|Off";
in a single bar running below that was "Hyper Technology Navigation"; in
the screen was "Bowzock Search Mode / Mode A > Energy Emission Scan"
with no text below it; almost immediately afterward, the normal display
was shown, but without the body of small text which was normally shown
below the "Energy Emission Scan."
529-ClMz.
- After using a Turbo Navigator to locate a spot
directly above Phantom's access tunnel (a spot near a parking lot by
the woods somewhere), T.J. and Cassie had Alpha teleport
them down into the tunnel.
- The Turbo Navigator's lid screen was active, with
large amounts of white text scrolling up as Cassie scanned for Phantom Ranger.
- The Turbo Navigator was apparently unable to
detect Phantom and his ship until T.J. and Cassie were within
just a few feet of them.
531-BTTW.
- As evil Blue
Senturion was defeating him, T.J. used a Turbo
Navigator in Defender Mode to shoot a red laser beam which wrapped
around Blue Senturion, briefly
restraining him and buying T.J. time to retreat.
- After learning of Divatox's search for her lost wishing coin, the teens split up with Turbo Navigators set by Alpha to search for metal of the same weight and
shape as the coin.
532-GOEv.
- T.J. and Cassie now walked for blocks with their Turbo
Navigators searching for the coin while the others were in the
Power Chamber.
- After the Rangers
had briefly fought Blue Senturion, Carlos and Justin
searched as far as the Youth Center with
their Turbo Navigators and found nothing.
- When the Rangers
were attacked by mutant bees,
morphed Ashley and Cassie each pulled out a Turbo Navigator in
Defender Mode; after the girls announced, "Target seek mode," the
weapons shot red lasers which curved to blast three of the four bees.
534-TOWW.
- Ashley shot a gold
energy beam from an Auto Blast Defender into the turbine of Maniac Mechanic's battle wagon, destroying the
vehicle with a massive explosion.
537-Accd.
- Cassie used a Turbo
Navigator in the Rescue Megazord to
track down Terrorzord after it had
vanished; in the display, the search bar was flashing, and a VRV symbol
represented the Megazord.
539-CrvB.
- Strikeout
had "Bol Zock" on his sports uniform, similar to the "Bowzock" as seen
in the phrase, "Bowzock search mode," on the Turbo Navigators.
542-RivR.
- As the Rescue
Megazord fought the Sharkzord underwater, Ashley's Turbo Navigator display in the Rescue Megazord showed a display of the Rescue Megazord (with the torso green and
all else flashing red), along with the "Power Boost Ratio" going down
from 80% to 60%; as the accompanying power bar dropped, it turned from
green to yellow once it had dropped below 75%, and there was a white
line where 50% would be.
- The Rangers
switched into the Turbo Megazord because
of the power loss the Rescue Megazord
was experiencing, but Cassie's Turbo Navigator
display showed "Power Unit Empty," a flashing orange Turbo Megazord display, and the power bar
dropping from 25% to 18%; the bar turned from yellow to red once it had
dropped below 25%.
- As her Turbo Navigator screen centered on Porto's control car atop the Sharkzord, Cassie announced that the tractor beam was locked,
and Justin fired the Turbo Megazord's chest ray at the car,
ejecting Porto and causing the unpiloted Sharkzord to collapse.
543-P&Pc.
- As the Catzord was overloading from Rygog's using too much power, Alpha suggested the power inversion, and as the
Rangers activated it, five Ranger-colored streaks flew out from
Catzord's chest and charged up
the Rescuezords; Ashley, consulting her Turbo Navigator, then
happily announced that they were back online.
