Quick-Start Demo - Bounty Hunter Camo-LS Owenrs Manual

QUICK-START DEMO

I. SUPPLIES NEEDED
• Nickel • Quarter
• Dime • A Nail or other iron object
• A Zinc Penny
(dated after 1982)
II. POSITION THE DETECTOR
a. Place the detector on a table, with the search
coil hanging over the edge.
(or better, have a friend hold the
detector, with the coil off
the ground)
b. Keep the search coil away from
walls, floors, and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry
or metal objects from hands and wrists.
d. Turn off appliances or lights that cause electromagnetic interference.
e. Pivot search coil to a position parallel to the ground.
III. POWER UP
a. Turn the detector on and turn
the sensitivity knob to the
3:00 position.
b. Move the Disc/Notch Knob
100% counterclockwise.
IV. WAVE OBJECTS OVER SEARCH COIL
a. Wave coins with flat surface parallel to coil. This is how you'll find them
buried in the ground.
b. Notice the different tones.
c. Watch the LCD indicator for depth and target identification.
V. DISCRIMINATE
a. Wave the nail and slowly turn the Disc/Notch Knob clockwise until the
nail is eliminated.
b. Continue eliminating objects one-by-one, by turning the Disc/Notch Knob
clockwise as you wave each object. Stop turning after the zinc penny is
eliminated.
c. The objects will be eliminated in this order:
1) Nail 2) Nickel 3) Penney
VI. NOTCH
a. Press the Notch button.
b. Position the Disc/Notch Knob so that the penny is eliminated.
c. Notice that the nickel is now detected. The penny has been "notched-out."
VII. PINPOINT
a. Press Pinpoint touchpad.
a. Move an object into the coil's field. In PINPOINT mode, the object will
emit a monotone sound whenever a metal object is within the search
coil's field.
b. If volume (hum) increases, press GROUND TRAC button to stabilize.

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
After selecting your operating mode,
swing the search coil gently side-to-
side, slightly overlapping each sweep
as you move forward. Make sure you
keep your search coil approximately 1
inch above the ground as you search.
Raising it in the sweep, or at the ends
of your sweep, will cause false read-
ings. Move slowly; hurrying will only
cause you to miss targets.
Most good objects will respond
with a good repeatable signal.
If a signal does not
repeat after swinging
the coil directly over
the suspected target a
few times, it is more
than likely trash
metal. False signals
can be caused by
trashy ground,
electrical
interference,
or by large
irregular
trash

objects. These signals are easily
recognized by their often broken or
non-repeatable nature.
The Camo-LS is a very sensitive
and deep-seeking detector. It will
respond loudly to many targets that
other detectors would only detect
with a weak signal. Because of
this, trash-induced signals and
other sources of interference may
cause signals that seem confusing.
The key to managing these false
signals is to dig only those targets
that emit a strong repeatable signal.
As you sweep the search coil
back and forth over the ground,
learn to recognize the difference
between the signals that occur at
random and signals that are
stable and repeatable.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short overlapping
sweeps. To prevent erratic signals
and difficult pinpointing in trashy
areas, use the Bounty Hunter
4-Inch Gold Nugget Coil.
