1)

 Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 1.

2)

 Push the on/off button to turn on the device.

3)

 When the device is turned on, it will start in the 2-tone Field mode. You can change the mode based 

on ground conditions. For instance, if you are detecting on wet beach sand, you may want to select the 

Beach mode. You can also change the frequency of the device on this model. You can find more details 

on search modes and frequencies further in this manual.

4)

 You can increase the sensitivity if needed. Increasing the sensitivity will offer you greater depth. 

However, if the surroundings or the ground cause excessive noise in the device, you need to lower 

the sensitivity setting.

5)

 Testing the device with various metals would be helpful for getting familiar with the sounds produced 

by the device.

6)

 Use the notch discrimination setting to eliminate unwanted metals from detection such as trash. 

has 20 pixels or "notches" of discrimination, shown under the TARGET ID scale with small 

boxes. Each box represents a group of 5 IDs (01-05, 06-10, 11-15 and so on). Any combination of these 

boxes can be rejected or accepted based upon your preference. 

7)

 If you are detecting in a very trashy area and the device is getting too many iron signals, instead of 

notch discrimination, you can use the Iron Volume setting to lower or completely turn off the volume of 

ferrous metals. This will provide more depth.

8)

 You can now start searching.

9)

 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 

audio responses even if the coil is over a metal target.

10)

 When a target is detected, the ID of the target and its position on the ID scale will be displayed on 

the screen. The device will also produce an audio response according to the search mode selected.

11)

 Upon target detection, you can pinpoint the exact location of the target by pressing and holding the 

PP button. The audio volume will increase and the audio pitch will also increase as you approach the 

target.
