METAL DETECTOR O WNER’S MANUAL If you do not have prior experience with a metal detector , we strongly recommend that you: 1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced sensitivity level; this device is designed to work “into-the-noise”, so expect chatter at high sensitivity . 2) Do no[...]

TERMINOLOG Y The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINA TION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator , when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field. DISCRIMINA TION When the detec[...]

4 ASSEMBL Y Assembly is easy and requires no tools. ● 1 Loosen both Locking Collars by rotating 100% counterclockwise ● 2 Insert the Upper Stem into the S-Rod and click Silver Button into hole ● 3 Position the lower stem with the silver button toward the back. Using the bolt and knurled knob, attach the search coil to the lower stem. ● 4 Pr[...]

5 ASSEMBL Y Adjusting the Arm Rest The arm rest may be moved forward or backwards by removing the single screw and nut, and then repositioning the 2-piece arm rest. Users with shorter arms may find the arm rest more comfortable in the forward position. In order to move the arm rest backwards, the plastic plug must be removed from the aluminum tube.[...]

6 The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary zinc carbon batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery . The battery compartment is located on the back side of the housing. Slide the[...]

7 QUICK-S T ART DEM ONSTRA TION I. Supplies Needed • a Nail • a Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) • a Nickel • a Quarter II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge. Or better , have a friend hold the detector , with the searchcoil of f the ground. b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls,[...]

8 THE BASICS OF MET AL DETEC TING A hobby metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following challenges and objectives: 1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals. 2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like pull-tabs. 3[...]

4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINA TION mode, the relative depth of an object is displayed on the right of the display in a 5-segment format. A more accurate depth reading is available in a no-motion mode, using PINPOINT mode. Pinpoint displays target depth in inches. Pinpoint does not require the c[...]

10 OPERA TION and CONTROLS HOW TO WORK THE CONTROLS Press MENU button to select the menu item you want to adjust. Press MODE button to TOGGLE between the Discrimination and All-Metals modes. POWER ON/OFF Press and hold the Pinpoint button to actuate PINPOINT at any time. Press or Buttons to CHANGE THE SETTING of the active menu item. The active men[...]

11 OPERA TION and CONTROLS cont. MENU SELECTIONS 1. SENSITIVITY Use and to increase or decrease sensitivity while the SENSITIVITY line is highlighted. Maximum sensitivity setting is 12. Minimum sensitivity setting is 4. If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being detected, reduce the sensitivity . The searchcoil[...]

OPERA TION and CONTROLS cont. MENU SELECTIONS continued 2. DISC. LEVEL Use and to increase or decrease DISCRIMINA TION level. Each time you press , a target category is eliminated from detection. Elimination occurs from left to right. When a category description (for example “IRON”) disappears from the display , then targets classified in that [...]

13 At any time, the display screen indicates the current category notches or discrim- ination settings. Any category whose description is not visible will not be detected. For example, the following settings tell us that: • The nickel, dime, quarter and 50¢ categories will be detected. • All other categories of targets (iron, foil, alum and zi[...]

14 OPERA TION and CONTROLS cont. MODE SELECTIONS There are three selections under the MODE section of the display . • Press to toggle between DISCRIMINA TION and ALL MET ALS. • Press at any time to activate PINPOINT mode. 1. DISCRIMINA TION Mode This mode is the default mode, and requires the searchcoil to be in motion in order to detect and id[...]

15 3. PINPOINT Enter PINPOINT from either Disc or All Metals mode. Press and hold to activate pinpoint. Pinpoint detection is only active for as long as you keep depressed. Pinpoint is used to find the exact location of a target which was previously located and identified using the discrimination mode. As this mode does not require motion over the [...]

16 T ARGET IDENTIFICA TION In DISCRIMINA TION mode, targets are identified both audibly and visually as follows: 1. Different pitch tones for dif ferent types of metals 2. A 2-digit target I.D. 3. An illuminated icon within the target category best describing it AUDIO T ARGET IDENTIFICA TION: T ones identify targets as follows: LOW TONE Ferrous obj[...]

17 2-Digit T arget Identification The 2-digit value in the middle of the screen provides a specific target value to help identify buried targets more accurately . With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target values with specific objects. Coins are more likely to yield the same value with each pass of the coil due to their concentr[...]

18 READING THE DISPLA Y The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the PROBABLE identification of the targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth of the target. The detector will register a consistent target identification, upon each sweep of the coil, when a buried target has been located and identified. If, upon repeated passes over the same spot, [...]
