When  the  unit  is  in  DISC,  NOTCH,  AUTO-NOTCH  modes,  its  audio 

identification  system  automatically  classifies  metal  objects  into  three 

categories with three different tones—low, medium and high. It makes it easier 

to identify the type of the target being detected. 

Three different tones to distinguish different items detected: 

Low tone for: bottle caps, nails, small gold ring and nickel (5¢) 

Medium tone for: pull-tabs, S-CAPS, zinc pennies or 1¢(post 1982) 

High tone for : 1¢(dated 1950), 10¢, 25¢, 50¢ 

When  operating  in  ALL  METAL  mode,  only  one  constant  medium  tone  is 

emitted when a target is detected. LCD only displays the depth of the target. 

 

OPERATION 

 

TURNING ON THE DETECTOR 

Slide the power switch to ON. The unit displays all symbols on the   

    LCD screen. The detector sounds low , medium, high tones   

    respectively. After about 2 seconds the detector enters stand-by   

state. At this time the LCD displays SENS, DISC, and the value of   

SENS and DISC set before power off. 

 

SETTING THE OPERATING MODE 

The detector comes with four operating modes of ALL METAL, DISC, 

NOTCH,  AUTO-NOTCH.  You  can  select  DISC,  ALL  METAL, 

AUTO-NOTCH,  NOTCH  respectively  by  touching  MODE.  LCD  will 

display the mode selected. 

a. DISC-used  for  target  discrimination.  Press  MODE  several  times  to 

get DISC mode. LCD will display DISC at the left lower corner of the 

screen. Then press ADJ to adjust the range of discrimination.    LCD 

displays  DISC/NOTCH  at  the  right  lower  corner  of  the  screen.  You 

also  can  use  buttons  +  or  –  to  increase  or  decrease  the  range  of 

discrimination.
