As soon as an object is found and the coil is not moving, the detector will make a humming sound, the
volume and tone will change with the distance of the found object.
The approximate depth in inches appears on the display. The depth is calibrated depending on the
coin-sized items.
When you release the button, you return to the DISCRIMINATION mode, where you need to move the
coil. If you hold down the PINPOINT button for a long time, the sound may be more distorted. If you
plan to search for objects using PINPOINT mode, we recommend that you release and press the
button repeatedly. More information can be found in the chapter PINPOINT. This feature is important
because some metal objects can be detected as soil minerals due to oxidation and can be more
difficult to identify.
READING THE DISPLAY
TARGET ID
Each time the detector detects metal in the soil, a two-digit number appears in the center of the
display. At the same time, the metal type is displayed using the three identification segments on the
upper indicator. See the METAL IDENTIFICATION chapter for more information.
TARGET SCALE
The top arc indicator identifies the type of metal. Each time a metal is identified in the soil, the type of
metal is identified using three segments. The segments are displayed for 3 seconds. Identification is
for guidance only. See the METAL IDENTIFICATION chapter for more information.
SIGNAL
Each time metal is detected, the signal strength is displayed by 7 segments on the signal indicator. If
the signal is strong, it may mean that it is a larger object or object close to the surface.
If the signal is weak, it may mean that the object is smaller or deep below the surface.
If the object is deep and probably smaller in size, you can narrow the identification using the
PINPOINT function.
In DISCRIMINATION mode, you can use the + and - buttons to change the parameters:
1. Tone Identification
2. Target Elimination
If you change the DISCRIMINATION value, the color of the segments on the display changes.
1. Blank (no segment displayed)
2. Gray
3. Black
The segments will be displayed if you set them using the + and - buttons. The setting will be displayed
with a pointer. During the search, you can view the settings in two ways:
