AUTO MODE OF OPERATION

 

First we’ll introduce the easiest mode of operation of the detector. Further 

in the instructions we’ll call it AUTO mode. The important thing for this mode is 
that there would not be necessary to make manual ground adjustments to the 
different ground conditions.

 

Turn all the controls and switches

 to the red marked positions (Figure 

4

). 

GND adjust

 and 

threshold

 (on the rear

panel of the control box) do not have
 red markers, as they do not take part
 in this mode of operation. 

Freq.1/Freq.2 

switch has no red 

marker too. The frequency 1 or 2 is 
chosen depending on which of these
 two frequencies the detector is less
 noisy. The choice is made with one
 and the same sensitivity level.
When turning the detector on 
(

on/off 

 

button

 

on the rear panel) it 

congratulates you with alternating 
green and red lights . Then for a 
second the LED indicator will 
light in green, if the batteries 
are charged, and in red

-

 if the

 batteries are discharged and
 need to be recharged.

 

The 

disc 

control has two red 

zones. For nugget hunting is the most counterclockwise red zone. In this zone 
you won’t have audio discrimination. For coin shooting use the

 coins

 zone. If 

you want to dig the bigger sized ferrous targets like knives, arrows and spears, 
rifles,  guns,  turn  back  this  control  to  the

  relic 

position.  In  this  position  the 

detector  will  reject  only  the  tiny  pieces  of  wire.  Do  not  increase  the 
discrimination beyond the

 foil

 mark, the detector will start rejecting some thin 

jewelry and low conductivity coins or other targets. More detailed description 
of the functions of this control will be given in the instructions further on.  After 
you have got accustomed with the detector’s operation with these settings, 
you could turn the

 low/high

 switch to the 

high

 position. This will make your 

detector significantly more sensitive and deep. You could add more sensitivity 
by further rotating clockwise the

 sens.

 control, until you hear rare interrupted 

noises. The coil should be static while you change the sensitivity level, and the 
interrupted noises will fade when you start sweeping the coil.
We recommend in this mode to use the

 

one tone 

 

position(marked in red) of 

the

 mixed/one tone

  switch.
