BASIC OPERATION

HEADPHONES

Using headphones (not included) with your metal detector makes it
easier to identify subtle changes in the threshold levels for better
detection results, and also reduces drain on the batteries. The
Treasure Hunter Metal Detector has a stereo headphone jack located
at the rear of the case.

This device is to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables
shorter than three meters.

To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION 

touch pad.  Each time the 

pad is depressed, an additional "R" will

appear, thus eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the
corresponding categories.

To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION 

touch pad.  Each time the 

pad is depressed, an illuminated "R" will

disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the
corresponding categories.

Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system.  Objects
are cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases.

NOTCH MODE

To selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic
spectrum, use the NOTCH Mode.

Technical Note:

The NOTCH touch pad causes the status of an "R" segment to
toggle between ON and OFF.

To use the NOTCH Mode:

The NOTCH touch pad can be depressed at any time. But for
first-time use, place the detector in ALL-METAL mode.

A first demonstration is best accomplished as follows:

1) Turn the power OFF.
2) Turn the power ON.
3) Press NOTCH.

A flashing "R" will appear under the IRON segment.

4) Press the DISCRIMINATION 

touch pad several times

Notice that the "R" moves upon each press of the 
DISCRIMINATION 

touch pad.

5) Press NOTCH again.

The flashing "R" will become permanently illuminated.

If an object has been “notched-out”, you can return it to detection
status. To “un-notch” a category:

1) Press NOTCH.
2) Move the flashing “R” over the permanently illuminated “R”.
3) Press NOTCH again.
