Turning on and off the detector
To turn on the detector, hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds - a world map graphic will
appear on the screen. From this stage to operation stage around 10 seconds are required
for the detector software to load.
To turn off the detector, press and hold the ON/OFF button. A screen with HOLD TO TURN
OFF will appear. Hold until a POWER OFF screen appears and then release the button.
WARNING!
THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT,
READ IT CAREFULLY!
When you turn on the detector, the coil must be at
least 50 cm (20”) high from the ground, and far from
any metal objects. After the software loads, the detec-
tor performs a RESET of the electronics to pair the detector with the coil, according to the
surrounding temperature and electromagnetic fields (if any).
You can manually do a reset at any time by pressing the ENTER button.
A reset is REQUIRED every time after you change the working frequency or the
PowerBox settings.
If the surrounding temperature is changing quickly, the detector may become nervous. In
this case you should perform a reset prior of making any other changes, the reset resolves
the problem in 99% of the occasions.

Selecting the working frequency
To select the detector working frequency, press the top-left button. A FREQUENCY label
will appear on the screen and two options boxes at the bottom are present. You can navi-
gate between the options by pressing the + and - buttons. The selected option is marked
with a diagonal grid. To select the desired frequency, select a box and confirm your choice
by pressing ENTER.
After you’ve selected the frequency and confirmed with the ENTER button, a screen with
nine options will appear (-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). This is the so-called frequency shift. By
selecting one of these options, the working frequency changes slightly to avoid electro-
magnetic interference with similar devices or industrial electromagnetic fields. Select the
desired value (the selected option is above the ENTER button), and confirm your choice
with ENTER.
