DETECTORS

The control panels of these detectors have seven (7) touchpads which control all the operating functions of the detector. Beneath the Arm Cuff are the Battery Pack and the headphone jack.

TOUCHPAD CONTROL FUNCTIONS:

Power: Turns the detector on, off, or resets the detector to the factory settings.

Press once to turn the detector on.

As the detector starts the battery condition is checked audibly and displayed on the LCD Display. Also, during the detector's start-up the detector adjusts automatically for the elimination of ground minerals, and the audio threshold is set to a point that is just silent. The last used pattern of discrimination is re-established and displayed on the LCD face.

Set Depth: (Also referred to as sensitivity). Permits the regulation of depth/sensitivity using the + and - touchpads.

Set Audio: Permits the regulation of the Audio Threshold using the + and - touchpads.

Set Disc: (Discrimination): Permits the regulation and/or adjustment of the discrimination pattern by turning on and off target cursors on the lower LCD bar which shows the items to be rejected or accepted as targets.

Pinpoint: Activates the Pinpointing function and causes the depth of coin-sized items to be shown on the Lower Scale.

Last Mode: Switches operation between operating modes A and B.

+and - Arrows: Used to move the Target ID cursor when setting the discrimination notches. These arrows are also used when adjusting the Depth/Sensitivity, and Audio Threshold levels.

Special Note:

If you are ever unsure about the settings of your detector, simply press and hold the Power touchpad for approximately 10 seconds. The detector will emit an audio signal and the factory default settings will be restored.

Graphic Display Information:
