BASIC OPERATION

4) Press ZAP. An "R" appears under the segment to be eliminated.
5) Pass the search coil over the same object again.

The undesirable object is eliminated from detection

The ZAP control is easy to use in the field. As you are detecting, and
encounter an object which you wish to eliminate from detection, simply
press the ZAP touch pad after detecting the object.

The ZAP control eliminates the most-recently detected object category from
detection. The category eliminated is indicated with an "R".

PIN POINT MODE

Since long-buried objects can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, the
process of finding the exact location of a small object, such as a coin, can be
time-consuming and frustrating. Objects buried many inches deep present
an especially daunting challenge. In addition, during the unearthing process,
care must be taken not to damage valuable relics. The best solution to these
problems is the no-motion PINPOINT mode.

At any time during operation, press the PINPOINT touch pad, and the
detector enters the no-motion mode. In the PINPOINT mode, any object in
the coil’s detection field will induce a monotone hum. Pass the coil slowly
over and around the target zone. The target is where the sound is loudest.
See “In the field techniques” for more information on pinpointing techniques.

Be sure that the detector is properly GROUND BALANCED before using the
PINPOINT MODE. See page 20 for manual ground balancing instructions.

The Target Identification and Target Depth indicators are disabled in this
mode. To discern the identification and depth of an object, you must use one
of the motion modes of operation.

HEADPHONE JACK

Using headphones (not supplied) with
your metal detector makes it easier to
identify subtle changes in the
threshold levels for better detection
results, and also reduces drain on the
batteries. The Legacy 3300 Metal
Detector has a stereo headphone jack
located at the rear of the case.

This device is to be used with
interconnecting cables/headphone
cables shorter than three meters.
