the area where you placed the item. It can help you find it later. Do not place it in tall
grass or weeds.
• To run the test, please follow Step 2 & 3 within OPERATION section.
Note:
In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a high
position. However, please don’t 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 and irregular indications.
Sweep your search coil as following picture, move the search coil right and left in an
arc line. For not missing any target, it is better to keep the distance from search coil
to the ground about .5-2 inches/ 1 – 5 cm (closer to the earth for smaller target) and
the distance between two neighboring arcs is about 3.94-5.91 inches/ 10 – 15cm.
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE DETECTING
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. Sometimes the detecting may be
restricted by some factors:
- The angle of the target buried in the soil.
- The depth of the target.
- The level of oxidization of the target.
- The size of the target.
- Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target.
In area of highly mineralized ground or wet sand, the detector will sound even if there
is no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity or increase the DISC numeric
value. Meanwhile, enhance the distance between the search coil and the ground.
At area with trashy metal, you can set ELIMINATOR to 2/4 position. In this case,
most nails and small pieces of iron will be eliminated.
Metallic digging tools will also affect the detection if they are near the search coil. So
it’s better place them a little far away.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your metal detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector, so you can enjoy it
for years.
• Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and
cases and can cause the detector to work improperly.
• Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices; damage the cases of the detector.
• Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear and
tear of parts.
• Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the detector.
