AAn iron target (a small nail or screw will do), a nickel, a zinc penny (1982 or later), a 
quarter, and a couple of different pulltabs 

3.

 

A nonmetal table top or counter. 

Here’s what you will do:  

1.

 

Prepare for the Quickstart 

2.

 

Perform Audio Battery Test 

3.

 

Adjust THRESHOLD 

4.

 

Adjust Ground Balance for Air Test 

5.

 

Perform Air Test in All Metal Mode 

6.

 

Adjust TONE Control for All Metal Mode 

7.

 

Adjust TONE Control for Disc Mode 

8.

 

Adjust SENSITIVITY 

9.

 

Perform Air Test in Disc Mode 

10.

 

Activate TRIGGER SWITCH Mode 

11.

 

Perform Air Test in ALT DISC LEVEL Mode 

12.

 

Perform Air Test in Pinpoint Mode 

Prepare for the Quickstart 

Place your assembled Tejón 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, DISC LEVEL and TONE turned completely counterclockwise past the 
click. 

2.

 

THRESHOLD and ALT DISC LEVEL turned completely counterclockwise. 

3.

 

GROUND ADJUST turned to the 12 o’clock position. 

4.

 

TRIGGER SWITCH Mode in the center position (underneath housing). 

Perform Audio Battery Test 

Turn the SENSITIVITY knob clockwise just past the click to about 3 or 4. You should hear 6 to 
7 quick beeps. This indicates that your batteries are fully charged and ready to go. As the 
batteries drain, you will hear fewer beeps. When you only hear 1 or 2 beeps, it will be time to 
replace your batteries. This test should be performed once or twice during your detecting outing. 
This will ensure that your machine has the correct battery power to maintain optimum detector 
performance.
