1. Once all the proper tests and adjustments
have been made, the Metal Detector
is ready to be used outdoors.
2. When first searching, set the Mode button to
ALL METAL and SENS to the highest level.
3. Adjust the VOLUME to the desired level.
Figure J
4. Sweep the Search Coil (19) slowly back
and forth in an arc, keeping it about 1/2″
to 2″ from the ground. See Figure I.
5. If you hear a beeping noise or see the
needle jump to the right on the View Meter,
you have located a metal object.
6. Use the TARGET button to pin-point the
object. Then use the DISC or TONE modes
to determine what kind of metal it is and
whether you wish to dig out the item.
7. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
remove the batteries after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
tips for Searching in Different Environments
1. There are many factors which influence the
sensitivity and accuracy of detecting objects,
including the angle, depth, size and oxidation of the
target object. Various soil or seawater conditions,
and also electromagnetic and electrical interference
surrounding the target can also affect readings.
Other metal detectors in the area will also cause
interference, so when there is more than one unit
in use, be sure they are at least 10 yards apart.
Some ways to help increase success are:
2. If there is interference from similar metal
detectors in your searching area, lower the
SENS setting to stop the interference.
3. If there is interference from electrical cables,
TV, radio, or other electrical devices in your
searching area, lower the SENS setting.
4. When searching in highly mineralized areas, the
unit may sound even if there is no metal. Lower the
SENS setting, set the DISC to high and increase
the distance of the Search Coil from the ground until
the false signal disappears. To set the DISC setting,
place a test metal object in highly mineralized earth
or wet sand and adjust the setting before beginning.
5. When searching in a trash area, set the DISC
to the middle setting so that the unit can reject
most invaluable metals such as nails, bottle
caps, cans, and small pieces of iron.
6. Move all metal digging tools when searching.
7. The SENS level is generally opposite the DISC
setting. The higher the sensitivity level is, the
worse the discrimination will be. You can lower
the sensitivity to have better discrimination.
