DEPTH INDICATOR
Coin-sized objects will be detected up to 9” deep.
The 3-segment graphic indicator is calibrated to coin-sized objects.
Coin on Surface
Coin is Shallow
Coin is Very Deep
Objects other than coins will still register on the 3-segment depth scale, but the
depth indication will be relative. For example, all 3 segments illuminated could
indicate a coin buried 9” deep, but could also be a very large object several feet
deep. Use the Depth Indicator in conjunction with the Conductivity Arc to gain
more information.
OVERLOAD WARNING
If a metal object or highly magnetic soil are too close to the searchcoil, the
detector will overload and “
--
” will appear on the screen. The detector will
make a rapid, repeating mid-tone warning sound. Overload will not harm the
detector, but the detector will not function under these conditions. If overload
occurs, raise the searchcoil to detect the target from a greater distance, or
move to a different location.
The Menu is located on the left side of the screen. During normal operation the
Menu is inactive and faded. Press the MENU button to cycle through the
Menu. Each press of the Menu button moves to the next Menu item.

Once a menu option is selected, the setting can be changed using

. Here is a description of the Menu options:
SENS
Adjust the sensitivity from 1 to 10. The higher the number, the more sensitive
the detector. This sensitivity control does not affect Pinpoint sensitivity.
If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being
detected, reduce the sensitivity.
The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that
magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field
that the detector creates is also susceptible to electromagnetic energy (EMI)
produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers, etc…
all produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to beep
when no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.
VOLUME
Adjust speaker volume from 0 to 10. The Volume control changes the
loudness of the audio when targets are detected, and also the loudness of
the keypad presses and warning sounds.
DISC
DISCRIMINATION
When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and
when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the detector
"discriminating" among different types of metals.
Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal detectors.
Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise undesirable
objects.
The DISC controls the detector's Discrimination function. In its default setting
all metals are detected. Use this DISC control in order to eliminate
unwanted types of metals from detection. Targets are eliminated from
detection from left to right across the Target Category Arc.
Each time you press the
key a target category icon will disappear.
When an icon disappears that category is eliminated from detection. Notice
that the 4 right-most categories cannot be eliminated. These 4 right-most
categories represent silver or other high-value targets, which are generally
desirable; therefore the detector does not allow them to be discriminated out.
To return categories to detection, press the
key and categories will be
accepted back for detection from right to left.
