Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

The use
Your metal detector distinguishes between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain
iron, while non-ferrous metals such as gold, copper, platinum, lead, nickel . The detector cannot
discriminate silver, aluminum and fine copper.
When the detector senses a metallic object, the meter reading changes.

4.
Set DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
5.
Hold the search coil about 1 foot above the ground and keep away from any metal object.
6.
Hold down the RED button on the handle until the pointer on the view meter rests at or near 0,
then release the RED button.

Testing and using your detector
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before you use it the first
time. You can test the detector indoors or outdoors.
Indoor Testing
1.
Remove any watches, rings, or other metal jewelry you are wearing, then place the detector on a
wooden or plastic table.
2.
Adjust the search coil’s angle so the flat part faces the ceiling.
Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have metal of some kind
in the floor, which might interfere with the objects you are testing or mask the signal completely.
