A Quick Look at Your Metal Detector

• Do  not  listen  at  extremely  high  volume

levels.  Extended  high-volume  listening

can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• 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 headphones  while operating a

motor  vehicle  or  riding  a  bicycle.  This  can

create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in

some areas.

Even though some headphones let you hear

some outside sounds when listening at 

normal  volume  levels,  they  still  can  present 

a traffic hazard.

A Quick Look at Your Metal Detector

MODE — lets you select from 

OFF, VLF, TR1, TR2. (See “Turn-

ing On the Detector” on Page 7.)

GROUND — compensates for 

false signals from mineralized 

soil. (See “Adjusting Ground” 

on Page 9.)

VOLUME — lets you adjust the 

volume of alert tones.

DISCRIMINATION — lets you ad-

just the metal detector’s ability 

to distinguish between different 

types of metal. (See “Adjusting 

Discrimination” on Page 9.)

SENSITIVITY — lets you adjust 

the detection depth. (See “Ad-

justing Sensitivity” on Page 9.)

TUNING — adjusts the balance 

between the receiver and trans-

mitter. (See “Tuning the Detec-

tor” on Page 7.)
