SENSITIVITYADJUSTMENT

The principle use for the SENSITIVITY

knob is to eliminate

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI). EMI is both naturally-occurring and man-made. Common sources of EMI are power lines, both suspended and buried, and broadcasting antennas. Machinery, when in operation, can also produce EMI.

EMI comes from most household appliances, so YOUR DETECTOR

CAN BEHAVE VERY ERRATICALLY INDOORS. If you want to test it indoors, turn off the TV and microwave. If you have lights with

dimmer switches, also turn these off; dimmer switches can produce lots of EMI.

If your detector chatters with the SENSITIVITY knob in the 100% clockwise position, reduce the sensitivity until the chatter stops (usually to the 1:00 or 3:00 position).

If you suspect the presence of deeper targets underneath a shallower target, reduce the SENSITIVITY to eliminate the detection of the deeper target to properly locate and identify the shallower target.
