•
Do not leave your Falcon in direct sunlight or in extreme heat (such as
the dashboard of your vehicle) The internal components and the outer
case may be damaged when subjected to extreme temperatures and void
the warranty.
•
Do not dig with the probe tip. Such mechanical forces can cause dam-
age to the unit and may detune the probe.
•
Do not kink the probe cable, store with 6 inch bend radius.
•
To remove the cable from the electronics box, hold both connector
pieces and use a gentle twist and pull.
•
The probe and 5’ cable are waterproof, however, do not immerse elec-
tronics in water. Water damage to the electronics will void the war-
ranty.
•
Use extreme care when changing batteries not to damage or alter elec-
tronic components.
•
Remove batteries when storing your Falcon for a long period to prevent
possible battery corrosion from damaging your unit.
A
positive response
(signal going toward the target) indicates a
metal
such as gold, silver, copper, etc.
A
negative response
(signal moving away from the target) in-
dicates a
mineral
such as iron oxides, black sand, etc.
For example, while scanning a pan of sample material, the Falcon may give
a signal as the probe is passed over an area. By pushing the probe toward
the signal area and pulling it away, one can determine whether the signal is
caused by metal or mineral based on the direction of signaling over the tar-
get.
Specimens often contain detectable amounts of both mineral and metal. The
automatic ground balance feature will allow the metal to sound while mini-
mizing the effects of the mineral resulting in a positive response for the
metal.
