UNDERSTANDING THE DETECTOR

OPERATION

Your RadioShack Three-Mode Dis-

criminator Metal Detector with Analog

Signal-Strength Meter is a “motion” de-

tector. This means that you must move

the searchcoil slightly to detect the

presence of metal (see “Pinpointing a

Target” on Page 12). The motion re-

quired is slight, and pinpointing targets

is very easy as long as the metal is un-

der the searchcoil and the searchcoil

is moving.

Viewmeter

The detector’s viewmeter is on the

front of the control housing. The

meter’s needle swings to the right

when an object is detected.

SENSITIVITY

Use this control to turn the detector on

or off and increase or decrease the de-

tector’s sensitivity at any operational

setting.

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

This control lets you select any of the

detector’s three operating modes.

DISC

— at this setting, the detector au-

tomatically rejects iron and can be ad-

justed to reject most trash items. The

detector sounds a unique tone when it

detects metal.

ALL METAL

— at this setting, the de-

tector sounds a single tone when it de-

tects

any

type of metal.

TONE

— at this setting, the detector

automatically rejects iron and sounds

2 unique tones when it detects metal

and

DISC/TONE

has been properly ad-

justed (see “Adjusting DISC/TONE” on

Page 12).

DISC/TONE

This control is for adjusting the dis-

crimination when

DISC/ALL METAL/

TONE

is set to

DISC

or

TONE

(see “Ad-

justing DISC/TONE” on Page 12).
