HOLDING THE

DETECTOR

Stand with your

arm extended

only slightly in

front of your

body. Do not

bend or stoop,

but stand in an

upright position

that is comfort-

able.

Hold the detector so the searchcoil is

about 1

–

2 inches above the ground.

Then adjust the searchcoil so it is par-

allel to the ground.

USING THE DETECTOR

1. Turn on the detector by turning

SENSITIVITY

clockwise until it

clicks. The detector beeps and the

viewmeter’s needle swings to the

right, then returns to the left.

2. Adjust

SENSITIVITY

until it is about

halfway between

OFF

and

HIGH

.

3. Set

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

to the

desired setting (see “DISC/ALL

METAL/TONE” on Page 8).

4. Find an area of ground where

there is no metal.

5. Place a sample of the material you

want the detector to find (such as

a gold ring or a coin) on the

ground. (If you are using valuable

metal such as gold to test the

detector, mark the area where you

placed the item, to help you find it

later. Do not place it in tall grass or

weeds).

6. While holding the searchcoil level

to the ground, about 1–2 inches

above the surface, slowly move it

over the area where you placed

the sample, sweeping in a side-to-

side motion.

Never sweep the searchcoil as if it

were a pendulum. Raising the

searchcoil while sweeping or at

the end of a sweep will cause false

readings. And sweep slowly —

hurrying will cause you to miss tar-

gets.

If

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

is set to

TONE

and

DISC/TONE

has been

properly adjusted (see “Adjusting

DISC/TONE” on Page 12), the

detector sounds a unique audio

tone for each of three categories

of metal. This makes it easier to

identify the type of metal being

detected.
