The Quickstart is designed to teach you how to use your new Silver µMax. It provides a quick 
and easy means of learning your detector and the concepts behind all of the functions.  

You will need the following items:  

1.

 

Your fully assembled Silver µMax. 

2.

 

An iron target (a small nail or screw will do), a nickel, a quarter and a couple of different 
pull tabs. 

3.

 

A nonmetal table top or counter. 

Here’s what you will do:  

1.

 

Perform Audio Battery Test 

2.

 

Adjust the SENSITIVITY 

3.

 

Perform Air Test in DISC Mode 

4.

 

Perform Air Test in ALL METAL Mode 

Prepare for the Quickstart 

Place your assembled Silver µMax on the nonmetal surface. Make sure that there are no metal 
objects near the coil and remove any jewelry from your hands and wrists.  

 

Start with the controls like this:  

1.

 

SENSITIVITY and DISCRIMINATE LEVEL knobs turned completely 
counterclockwise. 

2.

 

MODE switch in the center position. 

Perform Audio Battery Test 

Turn the SENSITIVITY knob from OFF to about 7 or 8. You will hear a quick double beep tone. 
This is the detector letting you know that it is turned on and ready to go. Push the MODE switch 
to the left and release. The switch is spring loaded and will pop back into the center position. If 
the battery is fully charged, you will hear 6 or 7 beeps.  

When you hear only 1 or 2 beeps, it will be time to replace your battery. This test can be 
performed at any time while the detector is turned on.  

Adjust the SENSITIVITY
