READING THE DISPLAY

The LCD displays are located at the
center of the control housing. The dis-
plays show a probable identification
of the object (on the target ID read-
out), as well as the probable depth of
the object in inches.

The LCD target display will give a vi-
sual readout of the probable type of
metal being targeted and what de-
nomination of coins are detected. The
LCD target display will usually lock
on when a target is being detected
and not lock on when the unit "falses"
or an object is borderline discrimi-
nated.
The target ID readout displays vari-
ous coins and metal objects, and a
range from GOLD to SILVER. When
the detector senses a target an arrow
will indicate the probable target being
detected.

Note: When the arrow points to a coin,
the detector could be sensing either
a coin or another type of metal (such
as jewelry, tokens, medals, or even
junk metal).
GOLD/SILVER range: Indicated on
the top of the readout. The gold spec-
trum is to the left of the meter and the
silver spectrum is to the right. Other
types of metal fall under both spec-
trums such as iron, foil and nickel un-
HIGH
der the gold spectrum and copper
pennies under the silver spectrum.
PRE-
SET
1¢ ZINC: Indicates that the target
probably is a zinc penny. Will usually
emit a medium tone when targeted.
Other targets, such as large gold, will
also fall into this category.
S-CAPS: Indicates that the target
probably is a screw cap or other types
of metal such as bottle caps. Medium-
sized gold will also fall into this range,
as well as large aluminum items.
PULL TAB: Indicates that the target
is probably a pull-tab. Some small
gold will also read as pull-tab.
IRON/FOIL: Indicates that the target
is probably iron or foil. Some rusted
oxidized iron will occasionally regis-
ter in the silver range.

PRESS FOR TARGET MODE
ALL METAL TOUCHPAD
When first turning the unit on, the de-
tector presets to the ALL METAL
mode. The DISC/NOTCH control will
not affect operation in this mode.
By pressing the ALL METAL touch-
pad, the unit will return to ALL METAL
from any other mode.
The detector will not require continu-
ous motion to detect a target in this
mode of operation.
The ALL METAL'S GROUND TRAC
pad must be pushed each time after
the ALL METAL mode is selected, in-
cluding when the unit is first turned
on, so that the unit is correctly tuned.
This will lock in wherever the
GROUND BALANCE is adjusted. It
is also required that every time the
GROUND BALANCE is adjusted, to
again push the GROUND TRAC re-
tune touchpad.
