BASICOPERATION

TURN THE DETECTOR ON

Click the left knob to the on position.

Three tones will sound.

The detector automatically enters the DISC Mode.

NO-MOTION ALL-METAL MODE

To operate in this mode:

Hold the search coil over the ground surface, about 1/2 inch.

Press ALL-METAL,then press GROUND TRAC Button.

The detector will emit only one monotone sound, regardless of the type of metal detected.

If the detector emits a constant tone, retune the detector with the search coil just above the ground surface. Make sure that the ground area chosen for tuning the detector does not contain metal; if unsure, switch into DISC mode and verify that the detector does not emit tones as you sweep the coil over the chosen spot.

Ground conditions can change over short distances. Until you become familiar with the detector’s volume level, retune the detector periodically by pressing the GroundTrac button.

Temperature changes also require retuning. If the detector emits a constant tone, or loses sensitivity, retune. If you have stored the detector indoors and move outdoors immediately to a different temperature environment and begin detecting, retune the detector periodically until the coil temperature stabilizes. This retuning is only necessary in the ALL-METAL Mode.

MOTION ALL-METAL Mode

To operate in this mode:

Turn the right knob, Disc/Notch, 100% counterclockwise, to the off position.

Press the DISC button.

Reduce the Sensitivity Control to the 2:00 or 3:00 position.

Sweep the coil over the surface of the ground.

The detector will emit one of three tones, depending on the type of metal detected.

The top display will indicate the type of metal targeted.

The bottom display will indicate the depth, in inches, of coin-sized objects. A worthwhile target is evidenced by a consistent tone, and a repeatable target and depth indication as you sweep back and forth over the same spot
