TARGET  PINPOINTING

After you have identified a target using Discrimination Mode,

press-and-hold  the  PINPOINT  button  to  identify  the  target’s  exact

location. This technique can yield more information about the target’s

shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:

1. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of

the target.

2. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target; you can locate

it  by  the  sound.    The  target  is  located  directly  under  where  the

sound is loudest.

Narrow It Down:

1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil

near the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the

center.

2. release the PINPOINT button.

3. Press-and-hold PINPOINT button again.

4. repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection

further.

Note: Depth indication is less accurate

after narrowing.

SeArCHCOIL DrIFT

If  you  plan  to  use  the

PINPOINT 

Mode 

for

continuous 

searching,

realize  that  drift  will  occur

over  time,  causing  the

detector  to  gain  or  lose

sensitivity.  Periodic  retuning

of the detector is required to

minimize  drift;  release  and

press  PINPOINT  again  to

retune.

A 3-segment battery indicator at the bottom of the display indicates the

battery condition.
The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery.

Do not use ordinary zinc carbon batteries.

Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.
rechargeable batteries can also be used.

If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a

Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery.
The battery compartment is located on the back side of the housing.

Slide  the  battery  door  to  the  side  and  remove  it  to  expose  the  battery

compartment.

BATTERY LIFE

expect about 15 to 20 hours of life from a 9-volt alkaline battery.

rechargeable batteries can provide up to 8 hours of usage per charge.

SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE

You  may  notice  the  speaker  volume  drop  when  only  one  battery  segment  is

illuminated.

With one segment flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.

BATTERY INDICATOR

The 3-segment battery indicator has 4 stages of indication.

These indications are accurate for a 9-volt alkaline battery.

Segments Illuminated

Battery Voltage

3 -segments

more than 8.4 volts

2 -segments 

more than 7.5 volts

1 -segment

more than 6.8 volts

1 -segment flashing

less than 6.8 volts

After the 1st segment begins flashing, expect the detector to shut off within 10

minutes.
A  rechargeable  battery  will  usually  illuminate  two  to  three  segments

throughout most of its useful charge.  But as soon as it drains to the 1-segment

level, it will then lose its charge very rapidly.

BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING

Alkaline  batteries  may  be  disposed  of  in  a  normal  waste  receptacle  or

recycled. Non-Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California

all  battery  types  must  be  recycled.  Please  refer  to  local  municipalities  for

detailed disposal and recycling requirements.
