Operation
1. Turning on the detector
Rotate the VOLUME control away from OFF to power on the detector. After about 2
seconds the detector enters into stand-by state. At this time the default mode is DISC.
LCD displays DISC of 00 and SENS of 6 bars.
2. Testing and using the 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 and outdoors.
Indoor testing and use
1. Rotate the VOLUME control away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. Setting the operating mode:
•
DISC: Press MENU, then + or – to set the DISC numeric value. If the DISC value is
set 00, the detector can detector all metals. In this case, when the detector finds a
target, the cursor above the target name lights. Also the detector sounds a tone,
low for iron, medium for 5 cent, nickel, pull tabs, zinc, high for 25 cent or silver
object. If you do not want to find the target listed on the LCD, you can set the
relative numeric range of DISC by pressing DISC then + or -. For example, the
numeric target range for 5 cent is 11-20, you can simply press MENU to select
DISC, then set the DISC number to 21 by pr or -. In this case, the numeric
range is beyond 5 cent. The detector will not have response to it. Neither will the
detector have response to iron. Because the target numeric range is 0-10.
•
NOTCH: Press MENU to select NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be
notched. The cursor above the selected target will flash. Press NOTCH again, the
target name below the cursor will disappear. It means this target will be notched
during the detection and the detector will have no reaction to the notched target.
If you want to pick up the target notched, simply press NOTCH again. Press + or -,
the cursor will move from left and right. If NOTCH is not pressed within about 3
seconds, the detector will enter standby state.
NOTE: It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD. Because if
you notch everything, you cannot find anything.
