Pushing the TRIGGER SWITCH forward away from the handle will place your Tejón into the
alternate discriminate mode. The upper discriminate knob marked ALT DISC LEVEL controls
this mode.
Flip the TRIGGER SWITCH back and forth and let it return to the center position.
Perform Air Test in ALT DISC LEVEL Mode
Leave the TRIGGER SWITCH in the center position and check all of your targets. The iron
target should be knocked out, but all other targets should generate an audio response. If you are
getting a target response from the iron, turn the DISC LEVEL knob high enough to discriminate
it out.
Push the TRIGGER SWITCH forward and check the iron target again. At this time, you should
get a target response. Take a moment or two flipping from the DISC LEVEL to the ALT DISC
LEVEL using only the iron target. Notice how easy it is to discriminate out the target.
Set the ALT DISC LEVEL to the SCAP (screw cap) position. Leave the TRIGGER SWITCH in
the center position. Check all of your targets. They should all sound off except the iron target.
Push the TRIGGER SWITCH forward and check the targets again. The only target response
should be from the quarter. With this particular DISC/ALT DISC setting, you will hunt for
targets in the regular discriminate and check any targets that you find to see if they are silver
coins or jewelry using the ALT DISC LEVEL mode.
Take some time to try other combinations of DISC LEVEL and ALT DISC LEVEL settings to
find the ones that match your detecting style.
Perform Air Test in ALT DISC LEVEL Mode
Turn the DISC LEVEL knob all the way counterclockwise until it clicks. This will put you into
the slow retune all metal mode. Hold a target over the center of the coil. After eight to ten
seconds, the target signal will fade to the normal threshold signal. Move the target very slightly
from left to right and forward and backward. As you move the target away from the center of the
coil, the signal will fade into silence. Bringing the target back over the coil will result in a target
signal. Take some time to find the strongest all metal signal over your coil.
Hold your target over the center of the coil and pull the TRIGGER SWITCH toward the handle
of your Tejón. This will put you into the fast retune all metal or pinpointing mode. You will
notice that the threshold hum will fade down to normal within three to four seconds. Move your
target from right to left and forward and backward. Due to the fast retune, you will be able to
move your target in shorter, faster arcs for fast pinpointing. When in the field, pulling the
TRIGGER SWITCH into the pinpointing mode will allow you to tighten your coil sweeps to just
a few inches and quickly pinpoint your target. Take some time to try the slow vs. fast retune
features for the all metal mode.
