TARGET PINPOINTING
(no-motion PINPOINT mode)
After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection,
press
to identify the target’s exact location. This technique can
yield more information about the target’s shape and size and also find
its exact location to facilitate excavation.

COIL DRIFT
If you keep
depressed for continuous searching,
realize that drift will occur over time, causing the
detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic
retuning of the detector is required to
minimize drift; release and press
to
retune.
