This metal detector is a professional metal
detector. As a sophisticated electronic de
-
vice, the most difficult aspects in metal de
-
tecting have been automated.
If you are fresh in using metal detector, we
highly recommended you:
1. Set the sensitivity to a low level in the
event of false signals. Always begin at
a reduced sensitivity level when using.
After you have become familiar with the
detector, you may try it at full sensitivity.
2. This detector is for outdoor use only. Do
not use indoors. Many home appliances
can emit electromagnetic wave, and will
interfere with the detector. For indoor
testing, turn the sensitivity down and
keep the search coil away from facilities
such as microwave ovens, computers
and TVs. If your detector beeps errati
-
cally, turn off the electronic appliances
and lights, especially those with dimmer
switches.
3. Read this manual. Most importantly, re
-
view the BASIC OPERATION.
TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are used throughout
the manual, and are standard terminology
among detectorists.
• ELIMINATION
– - Reference to a metal
being “eliminated” means that the detec
-
tor will not emit a tone, nor light up an in
-
dicator, when a specified object passes
through the coil’s detection field.
• DISCRIMINATION –
When the detector
emits different tones for different types
of metals, and when the detector „elimi
-
nates” certain metals, we refer to this
as the detector “discriminating” among
different types of metals. Discrimination
is an important feature of professional
metal detectors. Discrimination allows
the user to ignore trash and otherwise
undesirable objects.
• NOTCH –
Notching is the elimination
of an item, or range of items, within the
metallic spectrum. We “notch-out” an
object, or objects, selectively.
• AUTO NOTCH –
It eliminates trash met
-
als automatically and keep the detection
for most coins. AUTO NOTCH range is
preset in the factory and not adjustable..
• RELIC –
A relic is an object of interest
by reason of its age or its association
with the past. Many relics are made of
iron, but can also be made of bronze or
precious metals.
• IRON –
Iron is a common, low-grade
metal that is an undesirable target in
certain metal detecting applications. Ex
-
amples of undesirable iron objects are
old cans, pipes, bolts, and nails. Some
-
times, the desired target is made of iron.
Property markers, for instance, contain
iron. Valuable relics can also be com
-
posed of iron; cannon balls, old arma
-
ments, and parts of old structures and
vehicles can also be composed of iron.
