disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories.

Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system. Objects are cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases.

NOTCH MODE

To selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic spectrum, use the NOTCH Mode.

Technical Note:

The NOTCH touch pad causes the status of an "R" segment to toggle between ON and OFF.

To use the NOTCH Mode:

The NOTCH touch pad can be depressed at any time. But for first-time use, place the detector in ALL-METAL mode.

A first demonstration is best accomplished as follows:

1)Turn the power OFF.

2)Turn the power ON.

3)Press NOTCH.

A flashing "R" will appear under the IRON-1 segment.

4)Press the DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad several times. Notice that the "R" moves upon each press of the DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad.

5)Press NOTCH again.

The flashing "R" will become permanently illuminated.

If an object has been “notched-out”, you can return it to detection status. To “un-notch” a category:

1)Press NOTCH.

2)Move the flashing “R” over the permanently illuminated “R”, using the DISCRIMINATION ▲ or ▼ touch pads.

3) Press NOTCH again.

ZAP

The ZAP control is a convenient way to eliminate a known undesirable metal object from detection.

To demonstrate the ZAP control:

1) Set the detector in All-Metal Mode

Note: ZAP functions in all motion modes, but is best demonstrated first from the All-Metal Mode.

2) Pass the search coil over an undesirable object.
