Another influencing factor is the condition of the ground. lonic reactions build up reiatively fast in moist, natural

Summary:
Objects Mich have been in the ground
for only a
short time can only be located Wthin short
distances
and they should not be buried to deeply.
Objects vvhich have been in the ground for a long time can be located across great distances and at great depths.
4 Function and Settings of Controls
On - power on /power of f s witch. P ower i s supplied by a 9 V ba ttery, which i s i nserted i n t he b attery
compartment at the front of the housing.
Programming of the device - Use only the chip cards supplied %Mth the device. lf other cards are inserted, parts
of programming may be destroyed and the device Wil malfunction.
lnsert the chip card %Mth the desired program firrnly in the card stot below the display, until the program is
confirmed in the display. lf you vvant to change the program during a search (for another type of metal), remove
the c ard, s wtch o ff t he de vice f or a bout 10 m inutes a nd t hen o n a gain a nd i nsert t he chip c ard f or t he ne w
program.
You väll recognize the electr-onic funcfion controi by the colored LED'S: yellow = gold, green = silver, red iron
(magnetic).
(Chip c ards W th pr ograms for pr ecious s tones a nd semi-precious st ones are under p reparation acco rding t o
information by the manufacturer).
NivCon - You vill have noticed, that sever-al red LED's have lit up Men you swtched on the device. W ith the
aid of the NivCon function you can checke if you are holding the device exactly in a horizontal attitude or Ulting
forward slightly. Only this atütude %Mll assure you of proper readings. lf, for any reason, you deviate from that
ideal attitude during a search, t he device väll i ndicate this by the co n-esponding red LED. In this case, you
should stabilize the device and then continue the searching procedure. NivCon has no bearing on the searching
perfortnance,
but it signi@ntly influences the search
result.
Disc - Discriminator/small p arts filter. Filtering o ut o f small to medium sized o bjects. Set t he b utton to
posifion'4', this is the basic setting recommended by the manufacturer, because at this setting, the device Wli no
longer react to very small parts (of the metal type you have programmed). Another exampie: lf you are looking
for a large object (chest, pot), vaich has been buded Wthin the last 100 years, set the 'Disc' filter to '6'. lf you are
searching for large objects Mich were buried or hidden 500 years ago or eariier, set'Disc' to '8'. However, in the
tvvo latter cases, you väll not be able to locate individual small to medium sized objects!
Ground Tuner - lnterference filter. In the vicinity of power transmission lines or factories, as vvell as in strong
solar r-adiation or atmosphedc distur-bances by thunder'storms (very dangerous!), the device may malfunction.
Therefore, in any case, you should cany out the reaction test desc4ibed under 'Operating Principies' in the area
where you intend to conduct a search.
Sens - Sensitivity. The searching performance of the device depends on:
1. the setting of the performance amplifier 'Sens', and
2. the extent of the extension of the tWn searching antenna.
And now vm Wll explain four essential points vvhich may be decisive in the success or failure of a search:
1.
Familiarize yourself thoroughly Wth the device
and carry out sever'al reaction tests.
2.
You and other persons should not viear any
