4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects

When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINATION Mode, the relative
depth of an object is displayed on the right of the display in a 5-segment
format. A more accurate depth reading is available in a no-motion mode,
using PINPOINT Mode. Pinpoint displays target depth in inches. Pinpoint
does not require the coil to be in motion to detect metals. The ability to hold
the searchcoil motionless over the target also aids in tracing an outline of
the buried object, or in pinpointing the exact location of the object using
techniques described in the pinpointing section.

5. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that
magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects.  This magnetic field
that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy
produced by other electronic devices.  Power lines, microwave ovens,
lighting fixtures, TVs, computers, motors, etc…. all produce EMI which can
interfere with the detector and cause it to beep when no metal is present,
and sometimes to beep erratically.

The SENSITIVITY control lets you reduce the strength of this magnetic
field, and therefore lessen its susceptibility to EMI. You may want to operate
at maximum strength, but the presence of EMI may make this impossible,
so if you experience erratic behavior or “false” signals, reduce the
sensitivity.

2. DISC. LEVEL

Use 

and

to increase or decrease DISCRIMINATION level.

Each time you press 

, a target category is eliminated from detection.

Elimination occurs from left to right. When a category description (for example
“IRON”) disappears from the display, then targets classified in that category
will not be detected.  
Pressing 

reverses the discrimination process. With each press of

, a category description will reappear, indicating that targets

classified in that category will again be detected.

Discrimination is a cumulative elimination system.  Targets can be eliminated
from left to right on the scale, with each additional press of 

, resulting in

more objects being eliminated from detection.

3. NOTCH

Use 

and 

to notch target categories IN or OUT while the NOTCH

line is highlighted.

Whereas the discrimination feature eliminates all categories sequentially from
detection, the NOTCH control allows you to selectively include or exclude
target categories from detection.

With each press of 

or 

, the notched category moves across the

display screen.  As you move the position of the notched category, you are
changing the detection status of the selected category.

• If a target category was previously eliminated (word not visible) then

notching that category will return it to detection. 

• If a target category was previously retained (word is visible) then

notching that category will remove it from detection. 

Only one target category at a time can be selected for notching.  To notch multiple 
categories in or out, wait for the icon to stop flashing and then press

or

again to select the next notch.

Each time you press 

to select notch, followed by 

, the notch

program will begin by changing the status of the IRON segment

Using Headphones

Using headphones (not included) improves battery life, and prevents the
sounds from annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly,
particularly if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is
to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three
meters.
