The control panel comprises two rotary controls and a meter.
i.
ON/OFF - THRESHOLD
control is used to set the audio tone of the machine. This is normally set so that the
tone is silent or just on the point where the tone is starting to break through. There is
no performance advantage in having a loud tone constantly present.

BATTERY CHECK - FREQUENCY
control has two main functions in addition to the battery test which is at the
switched, fully anti-clockwise position. Very small changes to the frequency setting
can be used to minimise interference from other signal sources such as electricity
power lines. Changing the frequency also affects the machine’s sensitivity to
aluminium alloy based rubbish such as silver paper and pull tabs. By rotating the
control clockwise, the machine’s sensitivity to such objects will be progressively
reduced. When the frequency control is turned fully anti-clockwise the battery check
position is reached. Batteries should be changed if the reading fails to reach the green
area on the scale.
