Operation
This Metal Detector distinguishes between ferrous and nonferrous metals. Ferrous
metals included iron, while non-ferrous metals are gold, silver, copper, platinum,
aluminum, lead, and zinc.
Turn On The Detector
Hold the detector in a comfortable position, rotate the VOLUME knob clockwise.
Tuning
1. Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o’clock position.
2. Set DISC to the midpoint on the knob
3. Hold the search coil about 1 foot away from the ground, hold down the RED
button on the handle until the pointer on the view meter rests at or near 0, then
release the RED button.
Note: Press the RED button on the handle at any time during operation and the
pointer will return to 0 automatically.
Using the Detector
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal
jewelry you are wearing.
2. Hold the search coil level and about 1/2-2
inches above the ground.
3. Slowly move the search coil over the area
where you placed the sample, sweeping the
search coil in a side-to-side motion. The
distance of the movement path should be around 4-6 inches. The smaller the
target metal, the closer you should hold the detector to the ground.
4. When the detector detects a ferrous metal, sound becomes lower or even
disappears. Meanwhile the meter pointer moves to left.. When the detector finds a
non-ferrous metal, it makes louder sound and the meter pointer goes to right.
5. If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power and verify if
the battery is properly connected.
6. Use DISC to enable the detector to discriminate different metals.
Note: Each time after you adjust DISC, you have to press the RED button on the
handle so that the pointer will return to 0 position.
Testing and Using the Detector
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before you use
it the first time. You can test the detector indoors and outdoors.
Indoor Testing
Remove any watches, rings, or other metal
jewelry you are wearing
1. Place the detector on a wooden or
plastic table.
2. Adjust the search coil’s angle so the flat part
faces the ceiling.
Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have metal
of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects you are testing or
mask the signal completely.
3. Rotate VOLUME to 11 o’clock position. Set DISC to midpoint on the dial. Press the
RED button until the pointer on the view meter rests at or near 0.
4. Move a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or
a coin) about 2 inches above the search coil. If the detector detects the material,
the pointer moves to left (ferrous), sound gets down or even disappears; Or the
meter pointer moves to right (non-ferrous) with loud sound. If the detector does
not detect the material, check the battery power and verify if the battery is
properly connected.
Note: If you are using a coin, the detector detects it more easily if you hold it so a
flat side is parallel with the flat side of the search coil (not the edge).
Outdoor Testing & Using
1. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
2. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring
or a coin) on the ground. If you are using a valuable metal such as gold to test
the detector, mark the area where you placed the item, to help you find it later. Do
not place it in tall grass or weeds.
3. Rotate VOLUME about two-thirds clockwise. Set DISC to midpoint.
4. Press and hold down the RED button until the pointer on the view meter rests at or
near 0.
