Knob

Power Button with Operating LED: 

Push the Power Button to switch on the Control Unit. At first, 

the Operating LED starts blinking for about 2 seconds before it remains 

green

 

permanently. If 

the LED blinks rapidly before turning off, the internal battery is too low and must be charged (see 
chapter "4.1 Charging the Control Unit" on page 13).

If you are using Bluetooth Headphones, you see its pairing state by looking at the Operating LED. 
If the LED is

 

blue

 

the headphones are properly connected and ready to use as output source for 

any acoustic signals. More details about Bluetooth Headphones and the LED indications can be 
found in chapter "3.4 Bluetooth Headphones" on page 12.

To switch off the Control Unit, push the Power Button for at least 3 seconds until the Operating 
LED turns off.

Volume Knob

 (black cap): This knob regulates the volume 

of the acoustic output. Turning the knob to the left low-
ers the volume, turning it to the right raises the volume. 
If the value reaches its minimum or maximum, addition-
al turning in the same direction will have no decreasing 
or increasing effect. In this case, you will hear a double 
tone that indicates you reached the end of the adjustment 
range.

In case you need to connect Bluetooth Headphones, the 
Volume Knob can be utilized for pairing purposes. Please 
read chapter "Pairing new Bluetooth Headphones" for 
more information.

Sensitivity Knob

 (gray cap): This knob is used to regulate 

the sensitivity of the Search Coil. The higher the sensitivity 
the deeper you may find underground objects but the more 
noise and disturbances you may receive alongside metal 
signals.

Turning the knob to the left lowers the sensitivity, turning 
it to the right raises the sensitivity. If the value reaches 
its minimum or maximum, additional turning in the same 
direction will have no decreasing or increasing effect. In 
this case, you will hear a double tone that indicates you 
reached the end of the adjustment range.

If the sound output gets to noisy, you may apply a ground 
balance by pushing the Sensitivity Knob downwards. Read 
chapter "Ground Balancing" for more details about bal-
ancing your metal detector.
