the GROUND ADJUST knob a 1/2 turn counterclockwise or towards the negative side. This is an air test
position only that will let you proceed with the rest of the Quickstart.
Ground balance for the SALT Mode: Turn your GROUND ADJUST knob counterclockwise or towards
the negative side for 5 full turns. This will take you past the end range of the GROUND ADJUST
potentiometer. The knob has no end stops, but you may notice a very slight increase in the drag of the
knob as it passes the 3 and 3/4 mark. By turning the knob 5 full turns counterclockwise, we are assured
that the GROUND ADJUST is in the very farthest negative position. Once you are at the negative
position, turn the GROUND ADJUST knob 1 turn clockwise or towards the positive side. This is an air
test position only that will let you proceed with the rest of the Quickstart.
Perform Air Test in ALL MET Mode
Once you have set the GROUND ADJUST for the Quickstart, you are ready to perform an air test in the
ALL MET Mode. You will notice that there are two ALL MET positions - ALL MET FAST and ALL
MET SLOW. These positions refer to the speed at which your threshold tone retunes itself. The ALL
MET FAST should retune in about 1 to 2 seconds after a target response, whereas the ALL MET SLOW
may take 4 to 6 seconds to retune.
Leave your detector in the ALL MET FAST position and wave any of your test targets 2 to 3 inches in
front of the coil. Notice that you will have a positive response as the target passes the center of the coil
and that the signal will fade away to silence after the target is past the coil. The threshold tone should
come back in 1 to 2 seconds. Now move the TUNE SPEED switch into the ALL MET SLOW and try
waving your targets again. You should notice a very distinct difference in the amount of time that it takes
for the threshold to retune. ALL MET FAST will be used most often to quickly pinpoint targets. ALL
MET SLOW is used to pinpoint deep or small targets that do not create much of an audio signal or for
tracing the outlines of large targets.
Please return your TUNE SPEED switch to the ALL MET FAST before continuing with the Tiger Shark
Quickstart.
Check and Set the Internal Controls
There are three controls that are located on the inside of the detector. The Volume control, the Sensitivity
control and the Threshold control. All of these controls have been set at the factory for optimum
performance in most conditions. However, if there is some need to fine tune these controls, you will need
to open the waterproof case to perform the adjustments. We recommend that you do this on a clean dry
surface (a clean beach towel that is spread out will do fine). When you are done with the adjustments,
visually inspect both the control box and faceplate making sure that no sand or other contaminants have
gotten onto the O-ring as it may cause leaks.
When you open the detector case, it will release the batteries from the contacts and cause the detector to
stop functioning. While you are making adjustments, it will be necessary to place a slight pressure on the
battery pack to make the detector work. When you reconnect the batteries to the contacts, the automatic
battery test will be heard. Once the case is open, reach over the top of the detector with your left hand (or
right if you are left-handed) and gently press the batteries onto the contacts. Use your fine jeweler's
screwdriver to adjust the potentiometers inside the case.
