If you attempt to demonstrate or test the
GM24k
by waving targets in the air in
front of the search coil, it is ESSENTIAL
to have the GROUND BALANCE toggle
in the LOCKED setting.
This is necessary, for when the
GM24k
is
in the XGB setting, the searchcoil must
SEE
ground while it is passing over the
target or it will think that the target
IS
ground and will attempt to track it out.
This is the case whether you are demon-
strating with or without Iron Cancel.
You may, however, demonstrate the fast
ground balancing feature of XGB or
GRAB by waving or pumping a mineral-
ized rock in the air in front of the search
coil.
Thus, testing the
GM24k
with targets
while in XGB mode must be done in or
on the ground.
