Detecting
For searching, move forward slowly and swing the
coil approximately 3 cm above the ground from left to
right as shown in the graphic on the left. Your detec
-
tor will only scan for objects if the search coil is mo
-
ving. Your swings should overlap each other to cover
the whole ground. The coil should always stay at the
same distance and parallel to the ground.
Please note: Before searching, check if a permit is needed to search at the respective
location, and/or if you need permission of the owner.
9. Operation
Underwater search
The Q30 is waterproof, so you can take it under water up to 5 meters. For underwater
search, please note:
- If you are searching without the optionally available waterproof headphones, make
sure that the headphone jack protection cap on the backside of the control unit is
properly closed and activate the vibration by using the volume regulation.
- Switch to Saltwater mode, since saltwater is highly conductive and the detector
would get to many signals otherwise.
- After underwater search, rinse the detector with clean water, then take off the
handle from the rod and allow the inside of the handle to dry completely.
