It means that this target will be notched during the detection, and the detector
will have no reaction to the notched target.
b. If you want to add the notched target back, press NOTCH first and then
Press + or – to move the cursor to the target ID you want to add back.
Press NOTCH again and the target ID should be added back. If NOTCH is
not pressed within about 3 seconds, the detector will enter standby mode.
Note:
- It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD screen; notching
all settings will filter out all metals, so you will not be detecting anything.
- If you want to select the setting of DISC or SENS after pressing NOTCH, you
have to wait for about 3 seconds until the cursor above the target has been
notched out.
3. Set up sensitivity
Press MENU to select SENS, then press + or – to set the sensitivity.
Note: if you don’t press the buttons (SENS/+/-) within about 2 seconds, the
detector will enter the standby mode.
4. Test with samples
Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a
gold ring or a coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search coil. When the
detector detects any metal target, it sounds a tone and the cursor above the target
name will light. Also, LCD displays the numeric value of target as well as the depth
(signal strength) of it. Please note that the depth (signal strength) is only a
reference, not the exact depth of the target.
Note
If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily when you hold it with
the flat side being parallel search coil. A sweep with the vertical side of coin over
search coil might cause false indication and unstable display of target.
5. PP(PINPOINT)
After you find a metal object, you can use PP to pinpoint the target. Hold down PP
button. Slowly move the search coil around the sound area until the detector
sounds most loudly and the signal indicator on the LCD displays stronger signal.
Then, release the button. Sweep the search coil again by keeping the same
distance of search coil. The sound may disappear. It means that the detector is
not close enough to the metal target. Hold down PP again and make the search
coil closer to the sound area. Then, the detector should sound again.
Repeat the above steps until the detector displays the stronger signal where the
location of the target is. Press MENU to quit the PP mode.
Note
- It’s normal phenomena that LCD displays one or two signal bar and beep sound
appears after holding down PP. This will not affect the operation. When you actually
detect the metal objective, the detector will show stronger signal and sound
becomes louder.
