the DIS/NOTCH range to the right. 

DISC/NOTCH indicator shows detector’s current 

discrimination range, and 

a

n object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at 

the top of the display. 

SENS shows current sensitivity level. While DEPTH reads out the 

estimated target depth. Each time a target is detected, DEPTH indicator will illuminate. 

DEPTH indicator shows the relative depth of the target, the larger the reading is, the 

farther the target away from the coil. 

 

Adjusting DISC Range

 

Press  ADJ,  the  display  bar  of  DISC/NOTCH  range  will  blink.  Now  you  can  adjust 
DISC/NOTCH  range.  Press“

+”

  to  increase  the 

range  of  discrimination,  press  “

-

”  to 

decrease it.

 

2.ALL METAL Mode

— Press MODE to enter into ALL METAL mode, the detector now 

is in non-motion mode. In this mode, the detector emits only a monotone sound when it 

finds  a  target,  and  DEPTH  indicates  relative  target  signal  strength.  The  stronger  the 

signal  is,  the  louder  the  tone  is.  GND  TRAC  is  used  to  locate  a  coin-sized  object 

precisely. To move the coil above or near the target area, target will be found soon.   

Please make sure the detector is well ground balanced before using ALL METAL mode. 

(Please refer to Ground Balancing and PINPOINTING in Non-motion mode.) 

Target  identification  is  useless  in  ALL  METAL  mode.  To  see  target  identification  and 

depth, please change the detector into relative motion mode.

 

3.NOTCH Mode

— To selectively eliminate one or several metals from the categories, 

you can use NOTCH mode. DISC/NOTCH indicator shows current target discrimination 

range, and the 

probable target identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the 

display. 

SENS shows current sensitivity level. While DEPTH indicates the probable target 

depth.   

Adjusting  Target  NOTCH  Range

In  NOTCH  mode,  press  ADJ  to  enter  into 

DISC/NOTCH range setting status. LCD display bar blinks. Press + or - touch pad ,    one 

of  the  arrows  in  target  indicator  will  flash,  press  ENT  to  accept  or  reject  the 

corresponding metal target. Press again + or -, its right or left arrow will flash, then press 

ENT to accept or reject another metal target which the current arrow pointing to. Same as 
the others…

 

4.AUTO-NOTCH Mode

— When the detector is working in AUTO-NOTCH

 

mode

LCD 

shows “AUTO-NOTCH” at the bottom

, it eliminates trash metals automatically and keep 

the  detection  for  coins.  Eliminated  trash  metals  include:  Bottle  caps,  S-CAPS, 

IRON/FOIL,  Pull  Tab.  DISC/NOTCH  range

not  adjustable

displays  current  target 

identification range. And a

n object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at 

the top of the display. 

SENS shows current sensitivity level. While DEPTH indicates the 

proba

ble target’s depth.
