Sweep slowly.    Hurrying will cause you to miss targets. 

 

 

It is better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 7.5cm (3 inches) motion and keep the search 

coil parallel with the ground.

 

 

                       

 

If the detector detects the item, it sounds a tone.    An arrow and the depth appear on the display below the target 

icon. If the  detector does not detect the item, make sure that  the target mode is set  correctly for the type of metal 

you’re searching for.    Also make sure that you’re moving the search coil correctly. 

 

Notes: 

 

The  detector  responds  with  a  signal  when  it  detects  most  valuable  metal  objects.  If  a  signal  does  not  repeat 

after you sweep the search coil over the target a few times, the target is probably scrap metal.

 

 

False signals can be caused by litter-strewn ground, electrical interference, or a large irregular-shaped piece of 

scrap metal.

 

 

False signals are usually broken or intermittent.

 

 

Adjusting SENSITIVITY 

After  you  become  familiar  with  how  your  detector  works,  it’s  important  to  fine  tune  the  sensitivity  to  get  the  best 

performance.    Press the button SENS button on the panel. Then press UP or DN key to increase or decrease the 

sensitivity. The level on the segment will be displayed from high to low position. 

 

Note:   

In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a higher position.    Setting the level of SENS 

to Max position, may cause the detector to receive interference and false signals from broadcast antenna and other 

electronic lines. The detector may have unstable arrow and irregular tone indications. 

 

Application Hints 

 

Pinpointing the Target 

Accurately  pinpointing  a  target  makes  digging  it  up  easier.  But  this  takes  practice.  We  suggest  you  practice  finding 

sample on your own property before you search in other locations.
