UNDERSTANDING THE DETECTOR

OPERATION

Your RadioShack Three-Mode Dis-
criminator Metal Detector with Analog
Signal-Strength Meter is a "motion" de-
tector. This means that you must move
the searchcoil slightly to detect the
presence of metal (see "Pinpointing a
Target" on Page 12). The motion re-
quired is slight, and pinpointing targets
is very easy as long as the metal is un-
der the searchcoil and the searchcoil
is moving.

Viewmeter

The detector's viewmeter is on the
front of the control housing. The
meter's needle swings to the right
when an object is detected.

SENSITIVITY

Use this control to turn the detector on
or off and increase or decrease the de-
tector's sensitivity at any operational
setting.
