b. If you want to add the notched target back, press NOTCH first and then Press +
or – to move the cursor to the target ID you want to add back. Press NOTCH again
and the target ID should be added back. If NOTCH is not pressed within about 3
seconds, the detector will enter standby mode.
Note:
• It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD screen; notching all
settings will filter out all metals, so you will not be detecting anything.
• 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 has been notched out.
3. Set up sensitivity:
Press SENS and then press + 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 mode.
4. Test with samples:
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 target, 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 when you hold it with the
flat side being parallel search coil. A sweep with the vertical side of coin over search
coil might cause false indication and unstable display of target.

Note: There are a wide variety of meals and no target be be identified for certain until
unearthed. This table is 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
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.
The detector comes with three tones for different types of metal and the built-in audio
identification system sounds a unique tone for each of three metal categories. This
makes it easier to identify the metal being detected.
Note:
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.
