BATTERY INDICATOR:
The LOW BATT indicator will flash as
the unit is powered on. If the
indicator comes on and stays on,
replace the batteries.
MODE INDICATOR:
Choose from one of the four operating
modes by pressing the touch pad. An
arrow will indicate the current
operating mode. Change to any mode
at any time by pressing the
corresponding touchpad
Note:
The GroundTrac touchpad
is used only to ground balance the
detector when operating in the
ALL-METAL mode.
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.
