If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the target mode is set correctly
for the type of metal you are searching for. Also make sure that you are moving the
search coil correctly.
NOTES:
•
The detector responds with a signal when it detects valuable metal objects. If a
signal does not repeat after you sweep the search coil over the target a few times,
the target is probably junk metal.
•
False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large
irregular piece or junk metal.
•
False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
Adjusting SENSITIVITY
After you become familiar with your detector works, it is important to fine tune the
sensitivity to get a good effect.
Press the touch button SENS on the panel. Then press + or – to increase or decrease the
sensitivity. Then level will be displayed on the LCD.
NOTE: To detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SNS to a high position. But
not to set the level of SENS to Max position, or the detector will receive interference and
false signal from broadcast antenna and other electronic lines. The detector will have
unstable arrow and irregular tone indications.
Pinpointing the Target
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier. But it takes practise. We
suggest you practise finding sample on your own property before you search other
locations.
Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search coil over the
target in a narrowing side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the search coil
straight forward away from you and straight back towards you a couple of times.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 at a right angle to the original search line. Make a mark of “X”. The
target will be directly below the “X” at the point of the beep response.
