The
Legacy 2500 is
a professional metal
detector. While the most
difficult aspects of metal detecting
have
been
sophisticated electronic device which
requires an understanding of some basic
features and metal detecting concepts.
If you do not have prior experience with a
metal detector, we strongly recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event
of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced
sensitivity level; increase to full sensitivity after you have
become familiar with the detector.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many
household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can
interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,
turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from
appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights,
especially those with dimmer switches.
Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such
as floors and walls.
3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo
(p.7-8) and Basic Operation (p. 9-12).
4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty
Batteries.

    Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see through," the earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound a tone when a metal object is detected. The Legacy 2500 incorporates proprietary Squelch-Tech® circuitry to eliminate false signals from severe ground conditions...

    ASSEMBLY Adjusting the Arm Rest Most people will find the standard position of the arm rest very comfortable. Very large forearms and short forearms (particularly children’s arms), can be accommodated by moving the arm rest forward. The arm rest is adjustable to three positions. To adjust, remove the screw from the underside, then press the silver button and move the arm rest to one of the...

    Q UICK-START DEMONSTRATION VI. Wave the Nail over the Searchcoil a. The Nail will not be detected. b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out." VII. Press the “DISCRIMINATION-L” touchpad twice. Three “R”s are now displayed. VIII. Wave all objects over the Searchcoil The Nail and Pull-Tab will not be detected.

    BASIC OPERATION POWERING UP Press the POWER touch pad. • The detector will beep 4 times • All display segments will illuminate momentarily • The SENSITIVITY (left) and BATTERY (right) indicators will stay illuminated SENSITIVITY The detector’s default sensitivity will be indicated with two segments. At this setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, such as a quarter, buried approximately seven inches deep.
  • Page 10: All Metal

    BASIC OPERATION DEFAULT OPERATION The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the probable depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the large numeric indicator in the center of the display.

    BASIC OPERATION To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION L touch pad. Each time the L pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories. To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION M touch pad.

    AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION (motion modes only) While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects.

    SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals caused by severe ground conditions. While your Legacy 2500 contains circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring ground minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated.
