Step 3. Follow the step 3 described in section of Indoor Testing and Use to set the
level of sensitivity.
Note:
In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a high level.
But not to set the level of SENS to Max. level, or the detector will receive
interference and false signal from broadcast antenna and other electrical lines. The
detector will have unstable and irregular indications.
Step 4. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
Step 5. Place a sample of the material 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 find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or
weeds).
Step 6. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1~2 inches above the surface,
slowly move the search coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping
the search coil in a side-to-side motion.
l
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.
l
Sweep slowly, hurrying will cause you to miss targets.
l
It’s 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 item, it sounds a tone, and the target icon flashes. Also
LCD displays the digital value of target as well as the depth.
If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the mode is set correctly
for the type of metal you’re searching for. Also make sure that you’re moving the
search coil correctly.
