4. Adjust the search coil so the flat part points towards the ceiling.
5. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such
as a gold ring or a coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search
coil. When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a tone and an arrow
appears below the target icon. Also LCD displays the depth of the target.
Note:
• Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have
metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects
you’re testing or mask the signal completely.
• If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold
it so a flat side is parallel with the flat side of the search coil. A sweep
with the side of coin over search coil might cause false indication and
unstable display of arrow.
Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Slide POWER to ON. Set the operating mode.
2. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
3. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a
gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
4. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1~2 inches above the
surface, slowly move the search coil over the area where you placed the
sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to-side motion.
Note:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the
area where you place the item, to help you find it later. (Do not place it in
tall grass or weeds).
