Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 1.
Insert the batteries by paying attention to +/- polarity.
Rotate the on/off switch located behind the device clockwise to turn on the 

device. This switch also adjusts the volume.
When the device is turned on, it will start in the Three Tone mode.  You can 

change the mode based on the area that you are searching. For instance, if 

your search will be performed on wet beach sand, select the Beach mode.
To ground balance, push and hold the trigger forward and pump the search 

coil up and down 3cm (1.2'') above the ground until a “beep” sound is heard.
You can increase the GAIN if needed. Increasing the gain will offer you 

greater depth. However, if the surroundings or the ground cause excessive 

noise in the device, you need to lower the gain setting.
Testing with various metals is useful for getting familiar with the sounds 

produced by the device.
Based on the IDs of the metals you don't want to detect, you can adjust the 

ID FILTER and ignore those metals. For instance, if you don’t want to detect 

ferrous metals with 4 ID, you can set the ID FILTER to 5.
If you are detecting in a very trashy area and the device is getting too many 

iron signals, instead of ID FILTER you can use IRON AUDIO to lower or 

completely turn off the iron audio. This will provide more depth.
You can mask certain Target IDs using the NOTCH FILTER. For example, if 

you don't want to detect metals with IDs 31-32, you can simply block these 

IDs with NOTCH FILTER and enable the device to ignore these metals during 

searching.
If you wish, you can adjust the tone break points of the device with the 

TONE BREAK feature and change the frequency of the tones using the 

AUDIO TONE setting. 
You can now start searching.
Since your device operates with the motion principle, swing the search coil 

right and left maintaining 5cm (2") distance above the ground. If the search 

coil does not move, the device will not provide any warning tones even if 

the coil is over a metal target.
When a target is detected, the ID of the target is displayed on the screen 

and the cursor indicates its position on the ID scale. The device also 

produces a warning tone based on the search mode selected.
Upon target detection, you can pinpoint the exact location of the target by 

pulling and holding the trigger back.
