This function allows for the quick and easy location of an object you have detected. To 

use the Pinpoint function move the search coil away from the area where the object is and then 
pull and hold the trigger. To pinpoint the object make a cross like movement, to find the point 
where the signal is the strongest. The depth of the object shown on the screen is set-up for 
medium-sized objects. This means that for large objects the depth will be larger than indicated 
on the screen. The operation of the indicator and depth gauge is not dependent on the 
sensitivity of the detector, however the sound signal is. 

NOTE: In the Pinpoint function the detector works in Non-Motion mode. 

 

An overload means that the signal from an object is too strong for the detector to process

correctly. Thankfully this does not mean the detector has been damaged. An overload is 
indicated by a rattling sound and the « Overload » message on the display. In this situation lift 
the search coil up – when the overload message has gone, the display will show the 
identification value for the object.

The menu is divided into three pages: Engine, Audio and Screen. This allows for clear 

and logical grouping of settings. To enter the Menu press the          button, and then pull the 
trigger to leave. To switch between pages press the          button and then switch between the 
settings on each individual page by pressing the         button.
