PINPOINT

When detecting in the motion mode,as you should persistently move the 
search coil,so although you find the region that burying metals,it’s not easy 
for you to determine the exact location,it gets the digging difficult.At this 
time,you should recur to the PINPOINT mode.

a) Touch the PINPOINT button,the PINPOIT cursor is lighted,and the depth 

cursor will be full scale.The detector will sound a low single-frequency 

tone,the sensitivity is in the highest state.

b) Let the search coil approach the ground,move the search coil slowly in the 

region,where you find the target.In the position where the single frequency 

tone turns louder,and the signal strength cursor begins to appear.Continue 
moving the search coil slowly until the sound turns more louder,the signal 
strength cursor is full scale,and the depth cursor is the lowest.

c) Maintain the position of the detector,exit the PINPOINT mode.Touch the 

PINPOINT button again later,the detector will be self-balanced,and sound a 

low single frequency tone,the signal strength cursor will be extinguished,the 

depth cursor will be full scale.Move the search coil slowly again,let the single 

frequency tone turn more louder,and the signal strength cursor increase,the 

depth cursor turn to the lowest,which means the position of the metal target 
has been locked.By the center of the open search coil,mark on the ground,to 
facilitate mining.

d) Repeat the operation for several times and approach the target for several 

times,until you lock the location of the metal target.You could make notes on 

the ground by the center of the open search coil,to facilitate your excavation.

e) In the process of the PINPOINT,the depth cursor will turn to the signal 

strength cursor,which denotes the distance between the center of the search 
coil and the target,to help you pinpoint the location.Finally,the depth cursor 
will remain at the lowest gear.In fact,it means the target is the nearest from 
the center of the search coil. 

7. Depth and Target Indication(only in the motion mode)

The detector is preset in the motion mode,The LCD screen will show the 
rough metal target types and the rough target depth.
When the position and type of the target are determined,the detector will 
send a repeated signal.If you detect in the same place,while the 
discrimination display is inconsistent,which means the target may be false,or 
it may be the trash metal or heavily oxidized metal.Trough practice,you must 
bear in mind only repeatable signal existent,then you do excavation.
When find a metal target,the identification cursor will indicate the metal 
type.Silver is on the right.In the neutral soil,the identification indication is 
more accurate,while in the mineralization or salinization soil,the 
discrimination indication will have various degree of deviation.
