Your Tracker II is an advanced technology Metal Detector. If you
are new to the hobby or have never used a metal detector before,
we recommend that you:
1) Do Not Use Indoors. Household appliances generate
electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with the detector.
If demonstrating indoors, turn the sensitivity down and keep the
search coil away from floors, walls, and metal objects.
2) Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low setting in the event of false
signals or chatter. A little practice is required to understand
when and how to position the sensitivity at or near 100%.
3) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.
4) Please read this manual.

Page 3: Terminology
TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINATION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field. DISCRIMINATION When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector "eliminates"... -

Page 8: Ground Balancing
GROUND BALANCING You can effectively detect in most soil conditions with the GROUND control in the NORMAL position. As you sweep the coil from side-to-side, the detector is constantly scanning the ground and self-adjusting to changing soil conditions. Soils vary in their magnetic, conductive and alkaline properties. Soils vary by region of the country, and can even vary within small areas;... - Page 9 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES TONE RESPONSE PINPOINTING With practice in the field, you will Accurate pinpointing takes practice learn to classify buried objects and is best accomplished by "X-ing" according to the different tones and the suspected target area. the clarity and repeatability of the 1 When a buried target is tones.
