Pinpointing; No-Motion Pinpoint Mode - Fisher M-Scope 1236-X2 Operating Manual

PINPOINTING

The pinpoint mode requires no tuning and no motion to
precisely locate the target. With the Pinpoint push-button
depressed, the 1236-X2 is in an all-metal mode, meaning that
any discrimination setting you might have selected will no
longer apply. The VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) circuitry
indicates the presence of a target by increasing both the
volume and frequency of the audio output. By depressing the
Pinpoint push-button, precise target location is a snap.

NO-MOTION PINPOINT MODE

1. Once the presence of a buried target is
indicated by the "beep-beep" simply place the coil
lightly on the ground, away from the target area.
Push the PINPOINT button and hold. (At maximum
sensitivity you may hear a faint tone which will
disappear as soon as the coil is raised.)
2. Raise the coil 1/2 inch or so and move it side to
side across the target areas a few times.
3. Stop the search coil over the spot where you
receive the loudest response.
4. Now move the coil slowly forward and back a
couple of times, again stopping over the strongest
response.
5. Move the search coil side to side one more time
and stop over the strongest signal once again. Your
target should be directly below the "Hot Spot" of
the search coil, which is marked by a bull's eye,
slightly below the center of the coil.
6. For quick and accurate pinpointing of strong
signals, place the coil on the ground very close to
the approximate target area and push and hold
the PINPOINT button. You have now "tuned out"
most of the target signal so that when you raise
the coil for pinpointing you will only receive a
response directly over, or very nearly over, the
target.
