TARGET PINPOINTING
After you have identified a target using Discrimination mode,
press-and-hold the PINPOINT button to identify the target's exact
location. This technique can yield more information about the target's
shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of
the target.
2. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target; you can locate
it by the sound. The target is located directly under where the
sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil
near the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the
center.
2. Release the PINPOINT button.
3. Press-and-hold PINPOINT button again.
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection
further.
Note: Depth indication is less accurate
after narrowing.
SEARCHCOIL DRIFT
If you plan to use the PINPOINT mode for
continuous searching, realize that drift will
occur
over
time,
causing
the detector
to gain or lose
sensitivity. Periodic
retuning of the detector
is required to minimize
drift; release and press
PINPOINT again to retune.

ASSEMBLY

Adjusting the Arm Rest
The Arm Rest may be moved
forward or backward by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece Arm Rest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the Arm Rest more comfortable in
the forward position. In order to
move the Arm Rest backward, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Arm Rest Strap
(optional accessory)
The Arm Rest Strap accessory can
be purchased separately. Some
users prefer to use the strap when
swinging the detector vigorously, in
order to hold the detector securely
against the arm.
The detector can always be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.
