Determining the Target Size and Depth
An operator who is familiar with his instrument will be able to do an excellent job of determining
object size, shape and depth before he digs. The technique is learned from careful analysis of the
audio signals coming from the detector. Each time a signal is heard, listen for any peculiar
characteristics it may have ; determine over how large an area you get a detector signal ; and try to
"outline" the object before you dig. Listen for the sharpness and dullness of the signals and
determine the magnitude of strength of the signal. A coin will have a sharp signal, a nail a fuzzy
signal.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Your
detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but mis-use or lack of due
attention will tell in the end.
After using your detector in a hostile environment (salt water, sand, etc.), the exterior parts
(excluding the control housing) should be flushed with fresh water, paying particular attention to the
head, and carefully wiped dry.
Salt Damage
If you use your detector continually in a salty environment, particularly when the wind is blowing
off the sea, salty air can penetrate the control box.
Corrosion can occur in vital parts of the delicate electronic circuitry.
It is, therefore, recommended that precautions such as covering the control box with polythene be
taken to avoid damage.
The guarantee cannot cover such occurrences and any repairs needed because of salt water or spray
will require a charge.
The use of Solvents
Solvents should not be used on the detector.
Storage
If the detector is to be stored, remove the batteries as they may leak and corrode the surrounding
electronics.
Detector Not Operating :
(a) Check the condition of the batteries.
(b) Interchange batteries and ensure connections are correct and secure.
Battery life can vary tremendously between makes, therefore your ’new’ batteries may
already have insufficient power to run your detector.
