Tracking
The sound may not be eliminated completely in some areas. In these cases, listen to the sounds
produced when moving the search coil towards and away from the ground to check if the
ground balance is correct. If there is no difference between the two sounds then the ground
balance is set properly.
The device will return to the main screen automatically after a moment upon completion of
ground balance. To return immediately, just pull and release the trigger once.
IMPORTANT!
Experienced detectorists adjust the ground balance setting to little positive
response (weak but audible sound is produced when moving the search coil closer to ground).
This method may produce favorable results for experienced users in certain fields where small
gold nuggets are searched for.
In this option, the user does not need to make any adjustments. TRACKING feature is activated
from the menu by switching it to 01 position. The word ''Tracking'' is displayed on the left
bottom corner of the screen. The device updates the ground balance automatically as long as
the search coil is swung over the ground and shows the ground balance value next to the
GROUND PHASE text in the bottom of the display. It does not provide any feedback to the user
(like ground balance value or a beep sound in automatic ground balance).
While Tracking is active, the device can initially produce a loud signal when it detects a different
ground structure (for instance a mineral rock) or a target. In this case, swing the search coil over
the spot where the device produces the signal . If the sound remains the same and the device
shows an ID, it is possibly a target. If the sound attenuates too much or is lost after a few swings,
it means that the device has produced a signal for the different ground structure or a stone.
It is recommended that you use Tracking in the All Metal mode and not in the discrimination
modes (DISC.1 and DISC.2) for the best performance.
Tracking is suitable for use in areas where different soil structures are present within the same
land, steep and broken fields or in fields where mineral rocks are scattered widely apart. If you
use Ground Tracking in areas where hot rocks are intensely present, the device may not be able
to eliminate these high mineralized rocks or you may miss the smaller (such as gold nuggets) or
deeper metals.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure that Tracking is off during air tests. Otherwise, the device attempts to
perform ground balance on the target and the depth is reduced.
