OPERATION
Your 1020 has four operation modes: DISC,TONE ,ALL METAL and TARGET.
DISC, TONE and ALL METAL are motion modes. You have to move the coil to
search for target. While TARGET is a non-motion mode.
When searching, generally set operation mode to ALL METAL and SENS to less
10. Sweep your search coil as following picture, move the search coil right and
left in an arc line. For not missing any target, it is better to keep the distance from
search coil to the ground about 1 – 5cm (closer to the earth for smaller target)
and the distance between two neighboring arcs is about 10 – 15cm.

If there is a sound of “du-du” during moving, it indicates that there is a metal

ALL METAL--
a general searching mode. In this mode, the unit will respond

the ground. Press and hold down the TARGET button. Sweep the search coil
over the sound area and release the button when you hear a sound of “di”.
After about 1~2 seconds, hold down the red button again, the “di” sound
disappears. Closer the search coil to the ground and you’ll hear the sound
