ALL METAL MODE:
There are two ways to enter the
ALL-METAL mode.
1) Turn the right knob (Disc/Notch) left
to the furthest counterclockwise
position. Then Press the Disc/All
Metal touch pad.
or
2) Turn the right knob (Disc/Notch) left
to the furthest counterclockwise
position. Then turn the detector on.
(The detector always defaults to
the Disc/All Metal mode when first
powered on).
DISCRIMINATION MODE:
To enter DISCRIMINATION mode,
1) Press the Disc/All Metal touch pad,
and
2) Turn the Disc/Notch control knob
clockwise past the “Disc”
indication.
In the DISCRIMINATION mode, the
detector will emit three distinct
tones, depending on the type of
metal detected.
As you turn the Disc Knob
clockwise, you will progressively
“discriminate out,” or eliminate
from detection, different types of
metals.
Refer to the illustration below as a
reference for the levels required to
discriminate out different objects.
The DISCRIMINATION mode is a
fixed-start-point system. As you turn
the knob to the right, more objects are
progressively eliminated, including the
items to the left. Use
DISCRIMINATION for coin-shooting
and detecting in trashy areas.
NOTCH MODE:
To enter NOTCH mode, press the
Notch touch pad.
In NOTCH mode, iron is automatically
eliminated.
NOTCH then gives the user a variable
rejection window. In this mode, you
can eliminate items in the middle of

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The principle use for the SENSITIVITY
knob is to eliminate
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
(EMI). EMI is both naturally-occurring
and man-made. Common sources of
EMI are power lines, both suspended
and buried, and broadcasting
antennas. Machinery, when in
operation, can also produce EMI.
EMI comes from most household
appliances, so
YOUR DETECTOR
CAN BEHAVE VERY ERRATICALLY
INDOORS.
If you want to test it
indoors, turn off the TV and
microwave. If you have lights with
dimmer switches, also turn these off;
dimmer switches can produce lots of
EMI.
If your detector chatters with the
SENSITIVITY knob in the 100%
clockwise position, reduce the
sensitivity until the chatter stops
(usually to the 1:00 or 3:00 position).
If you suspect the presence of deeper
targets underneath a shallower target,
reduce the SENSITIVITY to eliminate
the detection of the deeper target to
properly locate and identify the
shallower target.
USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not supplied) 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
