2. When adjusting GND BAL counterclockwise, be careful to turn it
in small increments—This will assure that you achieve optimum
condition for operation. If you turn the knob too far
counterclockwise, you can turn it clockwise using same ground
balancing procedure until a tone is being emitted and then cut it
back counterclockwise slightly until a tone is no longer being
emitted.
3. Anytime the GND BAL control is moved, the GND TRAC
touchpad must be pushed afterwards.
TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR
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 and
outdoors.
Indoor Testing and Use
1. Slide POWER to ON
2. Set the operating mode.
3. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table, then remove any
watches, rings, or metal jewelry you are wearing.
4. Adjust the searchcoil so the flat part points towards the ceiling.
Note:
Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have
metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects
you’re testing or mask the signal completely.
