pushing the green button.
On another note, it is very important that your hand does not lose contact with the electrodes while
making a measurement. If contact is lost, then it is possible to receive a false signal. It is important to
practice holding the unit comfortably, not too tight and not too loose. While calibrating the unit it is
extremely important to keep the same pressure on the electrodes. In the event that the signal is broken
during the calibration, then it must be repeated.
As soon as the optimum calibrated value is reached, then confirm the setting by depressing the green
button. In the display will be shown "Bionic Scan | - NO – ". In the event that the display constantly
switches between “ - NO - “ and “ - YES “ very quickly then most likely you will have to calibrate the unit
again and check your grip so that it is not too tight or change your location for you might be too close to
a gold object.
6.1.2 Processing a scan
After you have successfully calibrated the unit and the operating mode is active, you can begin your
scan. In a left to right and horizontal to downward motion (as shown in Figure 6.4) move the Bionic X4.
Do not move the unit too quickly, slowly so it has the time to detect the gold within the bionic stream.
As soon as the Bionic X4 has detected an anomaly, you will hear an acoustic signal and in the display you
will see "Bionic Scan | - YES - ". You will need to conduct a control scans on the object by repeating it
from various directions. When the object has a constant signal then you have most likely located its
position. With the Bionic X4 you can then take a photograph of the direction in order to see the probable
target. Move to a new position, approx 25 to 500 m from the original, as shown in Figure 6.5.
Repeat the measurement including the calibration of the unit. When the same positive signals are
received then you can point the direction of the location of highest probability. Afterward press on the
green button again to return to the main menu so that you can complete the triangulation and locate the
object.
