2. If you don’t press the buttons (DISC,+,-) within about 2 seconds, the detector will
enter the standby state.
(2) NOTCH:
Press NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be notched. The cursor above the
selected target will flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will
disappear. It means this target will be notched during the detection and the detector
will have no reaction to the notched target. If you want to pick up the target notched,
simply press NOTCH again. Press + or -, the cursor will move from left and right. If
NOTCH is not pressed within about 3 seconds, the detector will enter standby state.
Note:
1. It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD screen; notching all
settings will filter out all metals, you will not be detecting for anything.
2. If you want to select the setting of DISC or SENS after pressing NOTCH, you have
to wait for about 3 seconds until the cursor above the target goes out.
3. Press SENS then + or – to set the sensitivity. The default level is of 6 bars.
Note: If you don’t press the buttons (SENS,+,-) within about 2 seconds, the detector
will enter the standby state.
4. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic
table, remove any metal items that you
may be wearing.
5. Adjust the search coil so the flat part points
towards 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’re testing or mask
the signal completely.
6. 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 the cursor above the target name
will light. Also LCD displays the numeric value of target as well as the depth
(signal strength) of it. Please note that the depth(signal strength) is only a
reference, not the exact 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 the side of coin over
search coil might cause false indication and unstable display of target.
Target Indications
Numeric Ranges of Target
Note: There are a wide variety of metals
and no target can be identified for certain
until unearthed. This table is for general
reference only.
Types of target
IRON
It indicates that the target is probably iron.
5¢
It indicates that the target is probably 5¢ or a nickel. Some
small gold rings might register within this range.
P-TAB
It indicates that the target is probably a pull tab of an aluminum
can. Some small gold rings might register within this range.
ZN
It is indicated that the target is probably a type of metal of zinc
alloy or copper coin. Some medium sized gold rings might
register within this category.
1¢
It indicates that the target might be a zinc penny. Some large
rough gold items might register within this category.
25¢
It indicates that the target is probably 25¢ or a silver coin.
Tones
The detector comes with three tones for different types of metal. But the built in audio
identification system sounds a unique tone for each of three categories of metal. This
makes it easier to identify the metal being detected.
Low Tone
IRON, 5¢, same as for foil, bottle cap or nickels.
Medium Tone
P-TAB, ZN, 1¢(aluminum pull tabs, zinc or copper
items.
High Tone
25¢,same as for brass or silver items.
Notes:
- When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode, the detector sounds a
medium or high tone when it detects highly oxidized iron. Depending on the purity,
about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector to sound a medium tone.
