CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1.DISC: This control turns the power on and automatically tunes the 1225-X for instant operation. All types of metal are detected at the zero level while the most pieces of trash are rejected at ten. The DISC control has no effect when the PINPOINT button is pushed in.

2.SENS: Normally set at ten, this control adjusts the 1225-X sensitivity to targets and ground minerals. The higher the setting, the deeper you’ll detect. However you will also pick up more false signals in highly mineralized or trashy soil. In the extreme counterclockwise position this control doubles as a battery test. A loud tone indicates good batteries. A faint tone indicates weak batteries and no tone means that it’s time for a change.

3.HEADPHONES: This jack accepts most stereo and mono headphones with quarter-inch diameter plugs. If you use a stereo/ mono headset, make sure it’s switched into the “stereo” position.

4.PINPOINT: When pushed and held, this button switches the 1225-X into the Zero-Motion, All-Metal Pinpointing mode.
