TARGET PINPOINTING
After you have identified a target using Discrimination Mode,
press-and-hold the PINPOINT button 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 extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the target.
2. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target; you can locate it by the
sound. The target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil near the
center of the response pattern, but not directly over the center.
2. Release the PINPOINT button.
3. Press-and-hold PINPOINT button again.
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
Note: Depth indication is less accurate
after narrowing.
SEARCHCOIL 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;
release and press PINPOINT
again to retune.

ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Armrest
The armrest may be moved forward or
backward by removing the single screw
and nut, and then repositioning the 2-piece
armrest. Users with shorter arms may find
the armrest more comfortable in the
forward position. In order to move the
armrest backward, the plastic plug must be
removed from the aluminum tube.
Armrest Strap
The PRO-TECH comes with an armrest
strap for users who prefer to swing the
detector vigorously, in order to hold the
detector securely against the arm.
The detector can always be used without
the strap, with no compromise to detector
balance and stability under most
conditions.
