could ever find. The array of data presented on
the Graphic Display makes you more aware of
all these targets. Additional operating experi-
ence with this detector will give you a better
understanding of how its Graphic Display com-
bines with the audio to present target signals.
You will quickly master your new detector
because of its simplicity. Yet, the Investigator
G-500 with controls based on patented micro-
processor technology has more discrimination,
mode sensitivity and effectiveness than any
other detector ever manufactured.
To turn off your detector simply press and
release the POWER touchpad. Operating bat-
tery power is disconnected.
Special Note on Settings
If you are ever unsure about the settings of
your detector, just press and hold the POWER
touchpad for 10 seconds (or, until you hear a
single "beep"). This will restore manufacturer's
settings and return your Investigator G-500 to
its factory-set All Metal mode.
JUNK TARGETS
Because your Investigator G-500 in its facto-
ry-set Mode A detection mode responds audi-
bly to all metal items, you will probably detect
numerous "junk" items. You'll soon learn, how-
ever how these targets respond with a quick,
sharp sound not like the clear, strong signal of
a weapon or shell casing. Before you dig up
some of the targets that make irregular audio
"blips," see how they register on the Upper
Scale of the Graphic Display in relation to the
Metal ID Guide. Speed up your searching by
learning to recognize as many of these junk
targets as you can.
You may have encountered an occasional
instance when the Graphic Display seemed to
be presenting conflicting information. This
probably occurred when your detector was
attempting to analyze two or more different tar-
gets beneath its searchcoil. Don't be alarmed.
This condition happens with all detectors, but
the GTA discovers vastly more targets than
old-style instruments with their limited circuitry
