AUTO gROUND BALANCE:

The  precision  automatic  ground  balance  system  will  provide 

ground balance accuracy that exceeds any setting achieved 

manually.  The procedure is quite simple:  After you have set up 

your controls and are back in the search mode, lower the search 

coil to the ground in an area completely void of metal.  Next, press 

the AUTO button and hold it for about 2 seconds. Then, while still 

holding the AUTO button down, lift the coil about 6 inches off the 

ground, hold for a second, and release the button.  The ID EDgE 

will give you a brief tone to let you know the ground balance has 

been achieved.  This procedure can be repeated at any time, as 

you change your settings or ground conditions change.  It is fast 

and accurate. If the detector gives you 3 brief tones it is letting 

you know that the ID EDgE was already balanced correctly or 

it is indicating the presence of metal under the target. Move to 

another location and repeat the auto ground balance procedure. 

If you get 3 brief tones a second time, continue hunting as your 

detector is most likely ground balanced and should not give you 

any false signals while hunting. 

STEP #1 - Lower to ground 

6 INCHES 

STEP #3 - [while still pressing AUTO] 
Lift coil 6” off ground & release button. 
Listen for a brief tone.  
 
*WHEN TONE SOUNDS,  
THE UNIT IS PROPERLY  
GROUND BALANCED 

STEP #2 - Press & hold for 2  seconds
