Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Turn the VOLUME switch clockwise to power on the metal detector.
2. Follow the steps of 2 described in section of “Indoor Testing and Use” to set the
operating mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal stuff like sprayer in
the yard.
4. Place a metal sample you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin)
on the ground.
Note:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where
you place the item, to help you can find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds.
5. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1-2 inches above the surface and
slowly move the search coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping
the search coil in a side-to- side motion.
Search Coil Sweeping Hints
• Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.

• Sweep slowly. Hurrying will cause you miss targets.
• It is better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 3 inches
motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
If the detector detects the target, it sounds a tone and the cursor above the target ID
will light. Also, LCD displays the numeric range of target as well as the depth (signal
strength).
If the detector does not detect the target, make sure that the mode is set correctly
for the type of metal you are searching for. Also make sure that you are moving the
search coil correctly.
Notes:
• The detector responds with a signal when detects most valuable metal objects. If
a signal does not repeat after you sweep the search coil over the target a few
times, the target is probably junk metal.
• False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large
irregular piece of junk metal.
• False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
Adjusting SENSITIVITY
After you become familiar with how your detector works, it is important to adjust
the sensitivity to get a good effect. Press the SENS button on the panel and press
+ or – to increase or decrease the level of sensitivity. The level will be displayed on
the LCD.
Note:
In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a high
position. However, don’t set the level of SENS to Max position. Otherwise, the
detector will receive interference and false signal from broadcast antenna and other
electronic wires. The detector will have unstable and irregular indications.
Pinpointing The Target
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier but users have to practice
more. We suggest you practice finding samples on your own property before you
search other locations.
