5. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold
ring or a coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search coil. When the detector
detects any metal, it sounds a tone, and an arrow appears below the target icon. Also,
LCD displays the depth of the target.
NOTE:
If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold it. So, a flat side
is parallel with the flat side of the search coil. A sweep with side of coin over search coil
might cause false indication and unstable display of arrow.
Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Press POWER to power on the detector.
2. Follow the instructions described in OPERATION to set SENSITIVITY, VOLUME, and
operation mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a
coin) on the ground.
NOTE:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where
you place the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds.
Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1-2 inches above the surface. Slowly move
the search coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a
side-to-side motion.
