PREPARING THE DETECTOR
Turning On the Detector
Hold the detector in a comfortable position, then rotate VOLUME away
from OFF to the desired sound level.
Tuning the Detector
TUNEING fine-tunes the balance between the detector’s receiver and
transmitter circuitry to provide consistent pointer and tone indications.
Follow these steps to set TUNEING.
1.
Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o’clock position.
2.
Set DISCRIMINATION to the its midpoint.
3.
Hold the search coil about 1foot away from the ground and any
metal
object, hold down the PUSH button, and slowly rotate TUNEING left
and right until the pointer on the view meter rests at or near 0, then
release the PUSH button. At this time, the TARGET indicator lights
off.
As you search, you can fine-tune the detector using DISCRIMINATION.
Note: Press the PUSH button at any time during operation to
automatically return the pointer to 0 and the TARGET indicator lights off.
TESTING AND USING THE ECTECTOR
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it
before you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors or
outdoors.
