Tuning the Detector:
1. Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o’clock position.
2. Set DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
3. Hold the search coil about 1 foot above the ground and keep away
from any metal objects.
4. Hold down the Auto Tune button on the handle until the pointer on
the view meter rests at or near 0, then release the Auto Tune
button.
5. Note : Press the Auto Tune button on the handle at any time during
operation to automatically return the pointer to 0.
TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR:
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it
before you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors or
outdoors.
Indoor Testing
1. Remove any watches, rings, or other metal jewelry you are
wearing, then place the detector on a wooden or plastic table.
2. Adjust the search coil’s angle so the flat part faces the ceiling.
Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most
buildings have metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere
with the objects you are testing or mask the signal completely. Test
with the coil in correct direction as shown below.
3. Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o’clock position.
4. Set DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
5. Hold down the Auto Tune button until the pointer on the view
meter rests at or near 0, then release the Auto Tune button.
6. Move a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such
as a gold ring or a coin) about 2 inches above the search coil.
Notes:
The search coil will not detect without motion. You must move the
object since you are not sweeping with the detector at this time.
If you are using a coin, the detector detects it more easily if you hold
it so a flat side is parallel with the flat side of the search coil (not the
edge).
