TARGET PINPOINTING
(no-motion PINPOINT mode)
After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection,
press the PINPOINT pad 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.

Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of
the target.

Press PINPOINT pad and raise the searchcoil about 2 inches. Lifting
the searchcoil away from the ground makes the ground signal go
negative, so the machine is silent.

Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target, and you can
locate it by the sound. The target is located directly under where
the sound is loudest.

COIL DRIFT
If you plan to use the PINPOINT mode 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; press PINPOINT to retune.
Temperature change will cause the
coil to drift in point mode.
If the detector moves from a
cooler to a warmer
environment, the detector
may emit a constant tone
until the temperature
stabilizes; if so, retune.
If the detector moves
from a warmer to a
cooler environment,
the detector may lose
sensitivity (remaining
quiet); if so, retune.

Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed

BATTERIES
USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not included) improves
battery life, and prevents the sounds from
annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the
sound more clearly, particularly if searching in a
noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other
dangers are present. This device is to be used
with interconnecting cables/headphone
cables shorter than three meters.
