TERMINOLOG Y The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINA TION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator , when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field.
21 4 ASSEMBL Y Assembly is easy and requires no tools. ● 1 Loosen both Locking Collars by rotating 100% counterclockwise ● 2 Insert the Upper Stem into the S-Rod and click Silver Button into hole ● 3 Position the lower stem with the silver button toward the back.
ASSEMBL Y 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.
6 A 4-segment battery indicator at the top-left of the display indicates the battery condition. The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary zinc carbon batteries. Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.
AUDIO T ARGET IDENTIFICA TION S YSTEM Different types of metals will induce dif ferent types of sounds, depending on your TONES setting. There are 4 choices in DISCRIMINA TION MODE : The default setting is d3. T o choose from the above selections, press the T ONES touch pad.
8 VIII. Rotate the DISC knob until the words IRON, FOIL, NICKEL, P-T AB, S-CAP and ZINC all disappear . IX. W ave the nickel a. The nickel will not be detected. X. Press the NOTCH touchpad on the front panel three times. The word “NICKEL” will start flashing.
9 THE BASICS OF MET AL DETEC TING A hobby metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following challenges and objectives: 1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals.
10 4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINA TION mode, the relative depth of an object is displayed in the center of the display with the SIGNAL strength indicator . A more accurate depth reading is available in a no- motion mode, using PINPOINT .
11 OPERA TION and CONTROLS GROUND GRAB Press-and-hold touch pad in middle to activate automatic ground balancing Press or to manually adjust the ground setting PINPOINT Press-and-hold to narrow down location of your finds NOTCH Press to selectively include or exclude specific target categories.
13 CONTROL P ANEL cont. CONTROL P ANEL CONTROL KNOBS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. SENSITIVITY : a. Click right to turn on. Click left to turn off. b. T urning the knob clockwise increases the detector ’s sensitivity; the higher the sensitivity , the deeper targets will be detected, and the more likely the detector will be to detect very small targets.
