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 and Use
1. Position the detector:
a. Place the detector on a table with the search coil hanging over the edge.
b. Keep the search coil away from walls, floors and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings, jewelry and other metal items you wear.
d. Adjust the search coil, so the flat part faces towards the ceiling.
Note:
Never test the detector on a floor inside of a building. Most buildings have metal
wires in the floor which might interfere with the objects you’re testing or mask the
signal completely.
e. Turn the VOLUME switch clockwise to power on the metal detector.
2. Set up operating modes:
1) Demonstrate DISCRIMINATION Feature:
a. Press DISC and then press + or - to set the DISC numeric value.
b. If the value of DISC is set to 00, the detector can detect all metals.
c. If you want to find one of the “Target Indicator” listed on the LCD, you can set
the relative numeric range of DISC by pressing DISC then + or -. For example, the
numeric range for 5¢ is 6-17, you can simply press DISC, then set the DISC
number to 7 or 10 by pr or -. If the detector finds a coin of 5¢, the cursor
above 5¢ will light.
d. You can also ignore the unwanted target by setting the DISC numeric value. If the
value is beyond the relative numeric range of the target, the target name will not
be displayed on the LCD. Meanwhile, the detector will not have reaction to the
target. For example, the numeric range for IRON is 0-5. If you set the DISC
numeric value to 6, IRON will not be displayed on LCD. Meanwhile the detector
will have no reaction to IRON during the detection.
You can ignore the unwanted target on LCD one by one from left to right by setting
the relative DISC numeric value.
Note:
• It is recommended to select the lower or medium value of the numeric range. If you
select a top value, you might miss the targets below the selected value.
• If you don’t press the buttons (DISC/+/-) within about 2 seconds, the detector will
enter the standby mode.
• 25 ¢ can’t be ignored, because it is made of valuable material.
2) Demonstrate NOTCH Feature:
a. Press NOTCH and then press + or - to select the Target Indicator to be notched.
The cursor above the selected target will flash.
Press NOTCH again and the selected target ID will disappear.
It means that this target will be notched during the detection, and the detector will
have no reaction to the notched target.
