DEPTH SELECT
The detector default to 3/4
sensitivity, indicated by two
illuminated segments. To change
the depth range of the detector,
and thus its sensitivity to more
deeply buried objects, use the
DEPTH SELECT touch pad. each
touch of DEPTH SELECT toggles
the detector among three different sensitivity settings. The detector is
at maximum depth capability when three depth segments are
illuminated on the right of the display.
At the maximum depth setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized
object buried approximately 6 1/2 inches beneath the surface. With
two depth segments illuminated, the detector’s depth range will be
reduced to 80%, and with one depth segment illuminated, the range
will be reduces to 65%.
A more detailed explanation of depth selection is found on page 14.

LOW BATTERY
The LOW BATTERY indicator will illuminate when the 9-volt batteries
are discharged to a level of 6.8 volts.
Replace the batteries as soon as
possible after receiving th e low
battery indication. The detector
will begin to beep erratically and
operate unreliably if continuing
use with discharged batteries.
To save on batteries, check each
battery individually, as the two
batteries can discharge at different
rates. When LOW BATTERY
illuminates, it is possible that only one of the batteries requires
replacement.
Under normal conditions, a set of batteries will last for approximately
16 hours in the field, depending upon the brand of battery.
