1.
Move the search head to a known clear patch.
2.
Hold the pinpoint button down and return the head to the target area; move it
slowly and listen for the peak response, or observe it on the meter.
The all metal pinpointing mode gives a positive response to all metals irrespective of
the Discrimination setting.
It is not necessary to sweep the target as the pinpoint mode will respond even when
held stationary over the object although the target will fade gradually if the head is
held over it for too long.

SIGNAL METER/BATTERY CHECK (CS5MX only)
This is a visual indication of the signal strength giving the experienced user more
information about the target. This is particularly useful for pinpointing.
When the BATT CHECK is pressed, the meter will indicate condition of the batteries.
If the meter reading falls below the green band, the batteries should be replaced.
7.
BOOST HI/NORMAL (CS5MX only)
For general detecting work, NORMAL mode should be selected.
When increased sensitivity to deep objects is required, then the setting HI should be
used. However, if false signalling occurs due to soil mineralisation, revert to the
NORMAL
setting.
