OPERATION

!

POWERING UP

Press the 

POWER 

touch pad.

• The detector will beep 4 times

• All display segments will illuminate momentarily

• The SENSITIVITY and BATTERY indicators will

stay illuminated

SENSITIVITY

The detector’s default sensitivity will be indicated with two segments.  At

this setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, such as a quarter,

buried approximately seven inches deep.  To change the sensitivity level,
and thus the detection depth, press the 

SENSITIVITY 

or 

keys.

CAUTION:

At higher sensitivity levels, the detector is susceptible to electromagnetic

interference from electronic devices.  Reduce sensitivity if demonstrating

indoors or if using near power lines or electrical equipment.

Reduce sensitivity if detector emits false signals
