If the detector detects the material, it might sound a tone. The pointer
moves to the left and the TARGET indicator indicates by red light
(ferrous) or to the right and the TARGET indicator indicates by green
light (non-ferrous) while the detector determines the type of metal it
is detecting. Usually the closer the detector gets to the metal object,
the bigger movement the pointer will make.
If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power
and verify that the battery is properly connected. Also, you may need
to tune the detector (see “Tuning the Detector”).
Outdoor Testing and Use:
1.
Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
2.
Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such
as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground. (If you are using valuable
metals such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where you
placed the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall grass
or weeds).
3.
Rotate
VOLUME
about
two-thirds
clockwise.
Set
DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
4.
Press and release the Auto Tune button on the handle until the
pointer is at or near 0. Then release the Auto Tune button. You
should barely hear a tone.
5.
While holding the search coil level and about 1-2 inches above the
ground slowly move the search coil over the area where you placed
the sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to-side in a arc line of
10-15cms motion like below.
