Ground (6)
This push button is operative in Manual Control Modes GD1 and GD2 only.
It sets the
detector for operation in most types of ground conditions and removes the requirement to
keep the search head the same distance from the ground while searching. All metals will
give a ‘good’ or ‘positive’ signal when the Ground mode is selected.
Meter (8)
The meter will display the following:-
i) battery condition - when Battery Check is selected
ii) target analysis to preset levels - when Meter Audio Disc or Meter Disc are selected
iii) target analysis to user set Discriminate level - when GD1 or GD2 are selected and the
Discriminate mode operational.
iv) Signal strength - when in GD1 or GD2 and the ‘all metal’ Ground mode.
METHODS OF OPERATION
There are two main ways to use the CS1220XD:
1) Pre-programmed searching - for ease of use
2) Manual settings - for total flexibility on all sites
Check the batteries are in good condition prior to searching. Frequently the check battery
condition during the search. Rechargeables give little warning of failure so ensure they are fully
charged prior to a long period of searching or carry a fresh set with you (see batteries page 4).
The unit may operate with reduced sensitivity for a period after indicating ‘flat’ batteries.
However, the batteries should be replaced or recharged at the first opportunity.
Use headphones when possible. Not only do they extend battery life, but they also cut out
extraneous noise.
