Omega 8000 - Manual (Page 5)

ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Arm Rest
The arm rest may be moved
forward or backwards by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece arm rest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the arm rest more comfortable in
the forward position. In order to
move the arm rest backwards, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Arm Rest Strap
The strap is provided for your
convenience. Some users prefer to
use the strap when swing the
detector vigorously, in order to hold
the detector secure against the arm.
The detector can also be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.

DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY
DEPTH INDICATOR:
The Depth Indicator is calibrated for
coin-sized objects. It indicates the
probable depth of the target, in
inches.
While holding the PinPoint touch pad,
and passing over a metal object
“DEPTH” will appear under to the
two-digit number in the middle of the
screen.
TWO DIGIT TARGET INDICATOR
In discrimination mode the Two-digit
target indicator, in the middle of the
LCD display, provides a specific
target value to help identify buried
targets more accurately. With practice
in the field, you will learn to associate
target values with the probable
identification of buried objects. The
target value can vary each time the
coil passes over the target,
depending upon the angle of the
object and the distance from the coil.
As a starting point, refer to the
table below.
T TA ARRG GEETT RRe ea ad do ouutt
The table below lists some common approximate target value equivalents.
With experience in the field, you will recognize many types of metal objects
by their numeric value.
