3.
Adjust the sensitivity (see "OPERATING THE UNIT IN ROOMS", step 3).
CAUTION!
To detect a deeply buried target, you can set the sensitivity level
(SENS) to high. However, do not set the sensitivity level to maximum, or the detector
will pick up interference and false signals from the transmitting antenna and other
electrical lines. The detector will have unstable and erratic readings.
4.
Find an outdoor location where there is no metal.
5.
Place a sample of the material to be found by the detector (such as a gold ring
or coin) on the ground.
CAUTION!
If a valuable metal such as gold will be used to test the detector,
mark the location where the item will be placed to make it easier to find later. Do
not place a valuable item in tall grass or bushes.
6.
Holding the probe parallel to the ground, about 1-5 cm above the surface,
move it slowly over the area where the sample is placed. Make the movement
from side to side.
MOVING THE DETECTOR'S PROBE
1.
When searching, it is best to move the detector from side to side,
approximately 1 - 5 cm above the surface being searched. The probe should be
guided along an arc with a radius of 7-8 cm, parallel to the ground.
2.
The movement should be slow and at a constant speed.
3.
When a target under the ground surface is found and identified, the detector
will emit a single beep and the target found icon will flash. The LCD display will
also show the reading value and the depth at which the target was detected.
CAUTION!
The probe movement should not resemble a pendulum. This may
cause false readings of the detector.
