TURN THE DETECTOR ON
Click the left knob to the on position.
Three tones will sound.
The detector automatically enters the DISC Mode.
NO-MOTION ALL METAL MODE
To operate in this mode:
• Hold the search coil over the ground surface, about 1/2 inch.
• Press ALL METAL,then press GROUND TRAC Button.
The detector will emit only one monotone sound, regardless of the type
of metal detected.
If the detector emits a constant tone, retune the detector with the search
coil just above the ground surface. Make sure that the ground area chosen
for tuning the detector does not contain metal; if unsure, switch into DISC
mode and verify that the detector does not emit tones as you sweep the coil
over the chosen spot.
Ground conditions can change over short distances. Until you become
familiar with the detector’s volume level, retune the detector periodically by
pressing the GroundTrac button.
Temperature changes also require retuning. If the detector emits a
constant tone, or loses sensitivity, retune. If you have stored the detector
indoors and move outdoors immediately to a different temperature
environment and begin detecting, retune the detector periodically until the
coil temperature stabilizes. This retuning is only necessary in the ALL METAL
Mode.
MOTION ALL METAL Mode
To operate in this mode:
• Turn the right knob, Disc/Notch, 100% counterclockwise, to the off
position.
• Press the DISC button.
• Reduce the Sensitivity Control to the 2:00 or 3:00 position.
• Sweep the coil over the surface of the ground.
The detector will emit one of three tones, depending on the type of metal
detected.
The top display will indicate the type of metal targeted.
The bottom display will indicate the depth, in inches, of coin-sized objects.
A worthwhile target is evidenced by a consistent tone, and a repeatable
target and depth indication as you sweep back and forth over the same spot
