OPERATION
USING EARPHONES
You can connect a pair of stereo earphones
(not supplied) to the detector so you can
listen to it privately. Using earphones also
saves battery power and makes it easier to
identify subtle changes in the sounds you
hear, for better detection results.
To connect earphones to the detector, insert
the earphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the EAR
jack on the side of the control housing.
Note
: The detector’s internal speaker
disconnects when you connect earphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines
when you use earphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase
it. Over time, your ears adapt to the
volume level, so a volume level that does
not cause discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones while operating your
detector near high-traffic areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let
you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
Your metal detector distinguishes between ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain
iron, while non-ferrous metals such as gold,
copper, platinum, lead, nickel do not. The
detector can not discriminate silver, aluminum
and fine copper.
When the detector senses a metallic object, the
meter reading changes.
