Garrett TREASURE ACE 300 Operating Instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
TREASURE ACE 300
The Treasure Ace detector is shipped assembled and ready to use. Make sure the first turn of
the searchcoil cable is over the top of the stem. Adjust the stem length for your height, then
study the following.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS:

Power/Detection Depth Control: Rotate knob clockwise to turn detector on. Further rotation
increases detection depth and sensitivity. This control allows detection at the greatest depth
possible in relation to conditions that affect the sensitivity of the detector's signals. Turn the
knob slightly to the left when necessary to reduce or eliminate sounds created by ground
and/or atmospheric conditions.
Elimination (Discrimination): This full-range discrimination control allows selection of which
trash items are to be eliminated from detection.
Headphone Jack: Located on the right side of the control panel. Headphones permit the
operator to hear small and deep targets that might be missed when using audio from the
speaker only.
LCD Display Panel: Above the upper scale is the Target ID Guide, where coin denominations
and other helpful information is shown to assist in identifying located targets.
The upper scale displays the current discrimination pattern even as the Elimination knob is
turned. The illuminated segments indicate the targets that will be announced by an audible
signal. As the elimination control is turned to the right, lighted segments will cease to show.
When any target is discovered the probable ID and metallic conductivity will be indicated.
Where the segment is not lit, there will be no audio signal. Where the segment is lit there will
be an audio signal and the segment will flash indicating the probable ID and conductivity of the
discovered item.
Treasure Eye: The lower scale on the LCD Display panel that indicates target discovery and
aids in the pinpointing of the target. It also monitors the condition of the batteries.
Battery Condition: The LCD Display constantly reports the condition of batteries powering the
detector. This Display is found in the lower left corner of the LCD.
Audio: The audio level of the Treasure Ace 300 is factory set to be just into the silent range.
Targets will not be missed at this level and there will be no loss of target signals.
Battery Test and Replacement:
When the power is turned on, the battery circuit is checked automatically and their condition
reported on the LCD. As the batteries begin to discharge the words LOW BATTERY will flash
at first slowly, in the lower left corner of the LCD. Flashing will become more rapid as battery
power is used. When the words appear constantly, it is time to replace the batteries. The (2) 9-
volt batteries are located on the backside of the detector housing behind a sliding door. To
