button to start. During the test, notice that the sound is loudest in the middle of the
coil and gradually fades as it begins to move away from the coil. The "DEPTH INDICATOR" depth
indicator shows the distance from the coil. If you exceed the maximum distance, the detector will not
detect metal.
To turn off the detector, press and hold the
button.
DISCRIMINATION
Use the "DISC" button to set an exception for which metals you do not want to detect. The
explanations are described in the FUNCTIONS chapter. Set the discrimination according to the object
you are looking for. Some soils may be rich in a particular metal or may be contaminated with that
metal.
HOW TO MOVE THE COIL
Move the coil horizontally to the ground, ideally at even distance. The movement of the coil should be
slow and even. If the coil does not move, the detector is not able to detect metal. When the movement
is complete, try not to raise the spool but to continue the movement smoothly.
FACTORS AFFECTING DETECTION
•
Angle of a hidden object.
•
Depth of the subject.
•
Oxidation level.
•
Item size.
•
Electromagnetic influences of the environment.
If you move the detector in soils rich in metals or wet sand, the coil will constantly announce objects
even if there are none. In this case, you must set a discrimination. Detection can also be affected by
items that you use for digging. Therefore, keep them away from the metal detector. Also, do not use
