Assembling your Land Star Metal
Detector is easy and requires no tools.
Just follow these steps:
●
1
Using the supplied bolt and knurled
knob, attach the searchcoil to the
lower stem.
●
2
Twist stem locking nut counter
clockwise.
Press the button on the
upper end of the lower stem and slide
the lower stem into the upper stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that
lets you maintain a comfortable
upright posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side. Tighten the
stem locking nut.
●
3
Wind the searchcoil cable around
the stem. Leave enough slack in the
cable to let you adjust the coil when
you are hunting on uneven ground.
Then tighten the knob at the end of
the searchcoil.
Note:
To adjust the coil,
simply loosen the knob.
●
4
Insert the coil’s plug into the
matching connector on the control
housing. Be sure the holes and
pins line up correctly.
Caution:
• Do not force the plug in.
Excess force will cause damage.
• To disconnect the cable, pull on the
plug. Do not pull on the cable.

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
- No-motion Modes
Detection Field
The No-Motion Mode’s detection field depends on the size of the target.
Large Objects
After detecting a target, lift the coil off the ground to a distance where you
hear the faintest tone. Move the coil over the ground at this height. If the
tone does not fade, you have detected a large or irregularly shaped object.
Outline the object with slow coil movements.
If you can outline an area larger than the size of the inside coil, you then have
a large target, or several targets.
Large objects can be detected when they enter the range of the outside coil.
USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not included) improves battery life, and prevents the
sounds from annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly,
particularly if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is
to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three
meters.
