ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Arm Rest
The arm rest may be moved
forward or backwards by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece arm rest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the arm rest more comfortable in
the forward position. In order to
move the arm rest backwards, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Arm Rest Strap
(optional accessory)
The strap is available for purchase
as a separate accessory. Some
users prefer to use the strap when
swing the detector vigorously, in
order to hold the detector secure
against the arm.
The detector can also be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.

TARGET IDENTIFICATION
Audio Target Identification (ATI) classifies metals into four categories.

& Smaller Gold
MEDIUM TONE
Zinc Pennies (Post 1982),
Larger Gold Objects, Many
screw caps
HIGH TONE
Copper, Silver & Brass
Copper Pennies
(Pre 1982)
In DISCRIMINATION mode, targets are identified both audibly and visually as
follows:
1. Different pitch tones for different types of metals
2. A 2-digit target I.D.
3. An illuminated icon within the target category best describing it
The detector must be in DISCRIMINATION mode to identify targets.
The ALL METALS mode does not provide target identification.
AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION:
When in the 4-tone mode, tones identify targets as follows:
BASS TONE

Smallest-sized gold objects and steel bottle caps
LOW TONE
Foil, pull-tabs (some new style), nickels, steel bottle caps.
MEDIUM TONE

Larger gold pieces, small brass objects, and most bottle screw caps.
Most recent-vintage non-US coins.
Pull-tabs (old style, some new style)
HIGH TONE

Older pennies (pre-1982 were minted from copper)
Dimes, quarters, half-dollars, silver dollars
