BASIC OPERATION
POWERING UP
Press the ON touchpad.
All display indicators will illuminate momentarily.
The 4-segment pyramid-shaped Sensitivity Indicator will illuminate on
the left side of the display. The 4-segment pyramid indicates that the
detector is at full sensitivity.
When an object is detected, the object will be identified by a tone, a
display indicator, and a depth indication.
A two-minute “warm-up” is required before the detector reaches full
sensitivity.
UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY
The LEFT SIDE of the display has a dual purpose:
●
1 SENSITIVITY LEVEL
Upon power-up, and after
pressing either the up- or
down-sensitivity pads, the
pyramid-shaped display
indicates the detector’s
sensitivity level.
The sensitivity level can be
changed using the up- and down-pads.
At maximum sensitivity, the unit can detect a coin-sized metal object
buried about 6" beneath the surface; larger objects can be detected
much deeper.
●
2 DEPTH INDICATION
After detecting an object, the
pyramid-shaped display
indicates the approximate depth
of buried, coin-sized objects.
Objects at or near the surface
will illuminate the single
segment at the top of the
scale.
More deeply buried objects will illuminate more segments, indicating
depths of 2, 4, or 6 inches, as identified to the left of the display.
The depth indicator is not accurate for large, or irregularly shaped, objects.
However, the scale will provide relative depth indications for larger objects; a
given object will induce deeper readings the farther it is from the searchcoil.

USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not included) improves battery life, and prevents the
sounds from annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly,
particularly if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is
to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three
meters.
