Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
•
Do not wear earphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas.
•
Even though some earphones are designed to let your hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic
hazard.
OPERATION
Your Metal Detector distinguishes between ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain
iron or steel, while non-ferrous metal such as gold,
silver, copper, platinum, aluminium, lead, and zinc
do not.
When the detector senses a metallic object, the
meter reading changes and the detector may
sound a tone. The actual reaction depends on
what type of metal is detected.
PREPARING THE DETECTOR
Hold the detector in a comfortable position; then
rotate
VOLUME
clockwise away from OFF to the
desired sound level. Set
OPERATE/BATT TEST
to
OPERATE
to detect.
TUNING THE DETECTOR
The
TUNE
control fine-tunes the balance between
the detector’s receiver and transmitter circuitry to
provide consistent pointer and tone indications.
1. Rotate the
VOLUME
control to the 11 o’clock
position.
2. Set the
DISCRIMINATION
control to its
midpoint.
3. Hold the search coil about 300 mm (1') away
from the ground and any metal object, hold down
the red button on the handle, and slowly rotate the
TUNE
control clockwise and anticlockwise until the
pointer on the meter indicates as close as possible
to zero, then release the red button.
As you search, you can fine-tune the detector using the
DISCRIMINATION
control (see “Fine-Tuning the Detector” on Page 7).
Note: Press the red button on the handle at any time during operation to
automatically return the pointer to zero.
