Bounty Hunter 3300 Basic Operation, ALL METAL MODE Default Operation, DISC/ A-M Touch Pad

BASIC OPERATION

ALL METAL MODE (Default Operation)

The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’s PROBABLE identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the PROBABLE depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the rectangular segment indicators on the left side of the display. All detected objects will cause the depth indicator to illuminate. The depth indication is not accurate for larger objects; however, it will provide accurate relative depth indications. The greater the distance an object is from the searchcoil, the greater its depth value.

DISC/ A-M Touch Pad

Pressing this touch pad will cause the detector to toggle between two operating modes, DISCRIMINATION and ALL-METAL. If the detector is in the ALL-METAL mode (the default mode), pressing the touch pad will change the detector into DISCRIMINATION mode. If the detector is in the DISCRIMINATION mode, pressing the touch pad will change the detector into ALL-METAL mode.

DISCRIMINATION MODE

Discrimination is used to eliminate unwanted objects from detection. To enter this mode, from ALL-METAL mode, press the DISC/A-M touch pad. After pressing DISC/A-M, the detector will:

Ferrous objects will not be detected in DISCRIMINATION mode. Heavily oxidized ferrous objects will sometimes, however, be detected, usually with a high tone and an indication to the right of the target identification scale.

To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad. Each time the ▲ pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories.

To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION ▼ touch pad. Each time the ▼ pad is depressed, an illuminated "R" will
