Turn-On Procedure; Ground Balancing - Fisher M-Scope CZ-5 Quicksilver Operating Manual

TURN ON PROCEDURE

GROUND BALANCING

When your CZ-5 QuickSilver is properly "ground balanced," it
will have only a minimum response to ground mineralization.
Precise adjustment of the Ground control is critical. The higher
the degree of ground mineralization or sensitivity setting, the more
critical it is. Once you adjust it in either the Autotune
mode or Target ID mode, you can switch back and forth
between the two modes without resetting it, unless you increase
the sensitivity level or go from dry sand to wet sand or vice versa.
You should also recheck your setting occasionally as you search
since ground conditions often change rapidly.
If you have difficulty ground balancing, try reducing your
sensitivity level or moving to another spot just in case you are over
a buried piece of metal. In some areas of high ground mineralization
you may not be able to use the "Pushbutton" method.
1. Set your controls as follows:
GROUND = 10
DISC = 0 for normal use in target ID mode. (Set DISC to
"Auto tune" for deep search, all-metal Auto
tune mode.
SENSITIVITY = 10
MODE = NORMAL (Unless you're on a wet ocean
beach, in which case set the MODE switch
to SALT.)
VOLUME = OFF
2. Hold the search coil waist high, away from any
nearby metal.
3. Turn the VOLUME control to 10 (a brief bell tone is
normal when you turn the VOLUME control on).
If you're in the Auto tune Mode, you'll hear an audio
"threshold" hum. Lower the SENSITIVITY control until
you can just barely hear it.
4. If you're wearing headphones, reduce the
headphone volume controls to a comfortable level when
the search coil is passed over a large, shallow target.
