HOLDING THE
DETECTOR
Stand with your arm
extended only slightly
in front of your body.
Do not bend or
stoop, but stand in
an upright posi-
tion that is
comfortable.
Hold the detector so the searchcoil
is about 1-2 inches above the
ground. Then adjust the searchcoil
so it is parallel to the ground.
USING THE DETECTOR
1. Turn on the detector by turning SEN-
SITIVITY clockwise until it clicks.
The detector beeps and the viewme-
ter's needle swings to the right, then
returns to the left.
2. Adjust SENSITIVITY until it is about
halfway between OFF and HIGH.
3. Set DISC/ALL METAL/TONE to the
desired setting (see "DISC/ALL
METAL/TONE" on page 8).
4. Find an area of ground where there
is no metal.

5. Place a sample of the material you
want the detector to find (such as a
gold ring or a coin) on the ground. (If
you are using valuable metal such
as gold to test the detector, mark the
area where you placed the item, to
help you find it later. Do not place it
in tall grass or weeds).
6. While holding the searchcoil level to
the ground, about 1-2 inches above
the surface, slowly move it over the
area where you placed the sample,
sweeping in a side-to-side motion.
Wrong
Never sweep the searchcoil as if it were
a pendulum. Raising the searchcoil
while sweeping or at the end of a
sweep will cause false readings. And
sweep slowly -- hurrying will cause you
to miss targets.
If DISC/ALL METAL/TONE is set to
TONE and DISC/TONE has been
properly adjusted (see "Adjusting
DISC/TONE" on Page 12), the detector
sounds a unique audio tone for each of
three categories of metal. This makes it
easier to identify the type of metal being
detected.
