earphone use

Figure 12

Stereo earphones (not included) can 

be connected to the Tool.  Using ear-

phones saves battery power and makes 

it easier to identify changes in the sound 

patterns.  Earphones are connected to the 

ear jack on the side of the Control Housing 

(see Figure 12).

When using earphones, protect your 

hearing by:

Set the volume to the lowest setting 

a. 

before you begin listening.  Adjust 

the volume to a comfortable level.
Never listen at extremely high vol-

b. 

ume levels; permanent hearing loss 

can result.
Once the volume is set, do not 

c. 

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.

operation

This tool distinguishes between fer-

rous and non-ferrous metals.  Ferrous 

metals contain iron.  Non-ferrous metals 

do not (examples:  gold, silver, copper, 

platinum, aluminum, lead, and zinc).

When the Tool senses a metallic object, 

the meter reading changes and the de-

tector might sound a tone.  The reaction 

depends on what metal is detected.
