TARGET PINPOINTING

After you have identified a target using Discrimination mode,
press-and-hold the PINPOINT button to identify the target’s exact
location. This technique can yield more information about the target’s
shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.

Pinpoint as follows:

1. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of

the target.

2. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target; you can locate

it by the sound.  The target is located directly under where the
sound is loudest.

Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil

near the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the
center.

2. Release the PINPOINT button.
3. Press-and-hold PINPOINT button again.
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection

further.

Note: Depth indication is less accurate

after narrowing.

SEARCHCOIL DRIFT

If you plan to use the
PINPOINT

mode for

continuous searching,
realize that drift will occur
over time, causing the
detector to gain or lose
sensitivity. Periodic retuning
of the detector is required to
minimize drift; release and
press PINPOINT again to
retune.

ASSEMBLY

Adjusting the Arm Rest

The Arm Rest may be moved
forward or backward by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece Arm Rest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the Arm Rest more comfortable in
the forward position.  In order to
move the Arm Rest backward, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.

Arm Rest Strap

The G2 comes with an armrest
strap for users who prefer to swing
the detector vigorously, in order to
hold the detector securely against
the arm.

The detector can always be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.
