mode to DISC to determine which kind of metal the target is. 

 

4. 

Notes:

 

(1)  If  there  is  interference  from  similar  metal  detectors  in  the  area  you  are 

searching,  you  can  either  lower  the  sensitivity  level  on  the  main  box  or 

change the location of the area you are currently searching. 

(2)  If there is interference from other instruments, electrical cables, TV or radio in 

the area you are searching, you can either lower the sensitivity level on the 

main box or change the location of the area you are currently searching. 

(3)  When  searching  in  highly  mineralized  areas,  the  metal  detector  will  sound 

even if there is no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity level and 

set  discrimination  to  a  higher  position.  You  can  also  increase  the  height 

between the search coil and the ground until the false signal disappears. To 

accurately set the 

“DISC” mode, you may have to put a metal sample in the 

highly mineralized soil or wet sand for testing before setting it. 

(4)  When searching in trash areas, it is more effective 

to set the “DISC” to the “5” 

position, so the metal detector can reject most of the invaluable metals, such 

as nails and small trashy iron. 

(5)  Move away from all metal digging tools when searching. 

(6) 

In “TARGET ” mode, the metal detector can discover any type of metal. So it 

is very likely to receive interference when you search for a small target near a 

large  metal.  In  this  case,  you  can  remove  the  large  metal  or  abandon  this 

searching area. 

(7)  The  sensitivity  level  is  generally  in  contradiction  with  that  of  the 

discrimination. The higher the sensitivity level is, the worse discrimination will 

be. However you can lower the sensitivity to achieve better discrimination. 

(8)  To  pinpoint  the  target,  you  can  also  move  the  search  coil  horizontally  and 

vertically to make a cross at the sound point. The center of the cross is the 

location of the target.
