The target indicator consists of an LCD display and target icons. When the detector locates an object, an arrow
appears below the target icon of the type of material that’s probably being detected. The depth of the target is
also displayed.
-
If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or
does not appear.
-
If detecting ceases for about 5 seconds, the arrow will disappear.

The target icons are only visual references to help you decide whether or not an item is worth investigating.
