The  detector  responds  with  a  signal  when  it  detects  most 

valuable  metal  objects.  If  a  signal  does  not  repeat  after  you 

sweep the search coil over the target a few times, the target is 

probably junk metal. 

 

False  signals  can  be  caused  by  trashy  ground,  electrical 

interference, or large irregular piece of junk metal. 

 

False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable. 

 

Adjusting SENSITIVITY 

After  you  become  familiar  with  how  your  detector  works,  it’s 

important to fine tune the sensitivity to get a good effect. 

  Press the touch button SENS on the panel. Then press UP or Dn 

to   

  increase or decrease the sensitivity. The level on the segment will   

  be displayed from high to low position. 

Note:   

In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS   

to a high position. But not to set the level of SENS to Max position,   

or the detector will receive interference and false signal from   

broadcast antenna and other electronic lines. The detector will have   

unstable arrow and irregular tone indications. 

Application Hints 

 

Pinpointing The Target 

Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier. But it  takes 

practice. We suggest you practice finding sample on your own property 

before you search other locations. 

Follow these steps to pinpoint a target. 

 

1. When  the  detector  detects  a  buried  target,  continue  sweeping  the 

search coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion.
