This means: As soon as you realize that the antennas no longer follow the panning motion, but remain pointing
in a certain direction, stop the panning motion and siovay pan in the rever-se direction and back, so that you are
able to mark the direction tovvards the object.
lf this first panning motion from one side to the other has not yet triggered a reaction, tum your Mole body and

Wthout you having moved the device. lf that happens, permit the device to repeat that reaction at least twce by
holding the device inclined toverds the ground, then back in a horizontal attitude and wait, if the reaction repeats
itself.
In order to obtain exact readings of the search line of the lock-in reaction and to mark them, press the red button
above the handle to activate the laser (onty possible in cloudy, dark vveather or at night).
At this point, you do not yet know at Mat distance the located object lies. Now, go 20 to 30 m to your dght or

approach that end point to a distance of about 10 m, put the device dovvn and mark the point of inter'section of
the search lines. Now, pick up the device again and pan it from left to dght (or vice versa) as before, until the
antennas once again point towards a p oint in this area. M emorize that point or have someone else mark it for
you. Now go to the opposite side, position yourself at the same distance to the endpoint as before and repeat the
searching procedure. Now, move 900 to the left or right and repeat the searching procedure again, then move to
the opposite side and repeat the searching procedure once more. You now have located the end point from four
sides. lf all search lines inter'sect exactly at the point, you have found the end point.
Hovvever, if the search lines intersect in different points, there are more that one objects of the programmed type
of metal in this area. In this case, we recommend the use of a metal detector, which, incidentally, is also useful if
you have to check excavated earth for small metal parts.
