1.
ON/OFF - SENSITIVITY
Switches detector on by rotating clockwise and adjusts sensitivity to metal.
This is a silent operating detector and you should rotate the Sensitivity Control
clockwise to the position where the audio threshold tone is comfortable.
Operate the Sensitivity at the highest level possible but, if you experience
interference from external radio transmissions or soil mineralisation, reduce the
level to eliminate this.
2.
DISC 1
In the clicked off position, the detector indicates all metal objects.
Turned clockwise it becomes a fully variable discrimination control.
Discrimination is a means of ignoring objects which are generally regarded as junk
whilst still detecting the good objects.
At the lowest setting most iron objects are ignored. Increase the setting and the
detector will ignore even larger pieces of aluminium paper as well as iron.
At higher levels still, ring pulls will be ignored. You must, however, realise that at
this higher setting you will also lose some low denomination and silver hammered
coins, so set the control only as high as necessary to ignore iron and foil
contamination (e.g. level 5 is typical).
