The coil angle is adjusted by loosening the nylon wing nut on top of the search coil. NOTE: Remember, the longer the shaft, the more you’ll have to bend your elbow to keep the coil off the ground and the sooner your arm will get tired.

Page 10: Tone Audio System
4 TONE AUDIO SYSTEM The four-tone audio system provides you with more information per sweep, acting as a target I.D. system in the “discrimination” mode. While sweeping the ID EDgE search coil over a target, you will hear one of four tones: LOW TONE = Iron objects (ferrous) LOW/MID TONE = Foil, Nickel, Round Tabs MID/HIgH TONE = Square Tabs, Zinc Pennies... -
Page 11: Lcd Identification System
LCD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM The LCD will also show you an indication of the type of target you have found, in conjunction with the audio tones, by showing you a number preceded by a “-” or “+” sign.

Page 12: Auto Ground Balance

Page 13: Additional Features
ADDITIONAL FEATURES AUTOMATIC LOW BATTERY WARNINg: The ID EDgE will let you know when a low battery condition will begin to effect performance — the batteries must be changed at this time. When the batteries get too weak, the audio system will produce a wavering tone to alert you to the low battery condition, and the LCD will flash “LO”. -
Page 14: Searching
SEARCHINg good search techniques are every bit as important as having a good detector. 1. Once your controls are properly set, press and release the P/P touch pad, and move into your search position. Begin your search by walking slowly and sweeping the search coil in a tight semicircle. - Page 15 SEARCHINg 5. Keep the search coil moving at a comfortable rate. 6. Take your time. If you walk too fast you can overlap your sweeps and you’ll miss a lot of ground. If you swing your coil too fast, you could lose some sensitivity to deep and/or small targets.
