The Display; Depth Indicator; Overload Warning - Fisher F44 Owner's Manual

THE DISPLAY

Target Category Icons
Icons will turn from outlined to solid indicating a detected target.
A "blank" position indicates a Notched-out target category.

Icon Indicator
Coin-sized objects will be detected up to 10" deep. The 6-segment graphic
DEPTH INDIC TOR
indicator is calibrated to coin-sized objects.
Depth of Coin-Sized Depth of Coin-Sized
Object Less Than 2" Object Deeper Than 4"
Objects other than coins will still register on the 6-segment depth scale, but the
depth indication will be relative. For example, all 6 segments illuminated could
indicate a coin buried 10" deep, but could also be a very large object several
feet deep. Use the Depth Indicator in conjunction with the Target Category
Icons and the aid of Pinpoint to gain more information about the buried target.
If a metal object or highly magnetic soil are too close to the searchcoil, the
OVERLO D W RNING --
detector will overload and a " " will appear on the screen. The detector will
make a rapid, repeating mid-tone warning sound. Overload will not harm the
detector, but the detector will not function under these conditions. If overload
occurs, raise the searchcoil to detect the target from a greater distance, or
move to a different location.

TARGET IDENTIFICATION
This is a motion detector. The coil must be moving for the detector to sense
Target-ID
metal except when in Pinpoint. If you stop the coil over a metal object it will
null-out and go silent. When metal objects are detected, the detector will emit
a sound, a Target ID Category icon will illuminate and a 2-digit Target-ID
number will appear on the screen. Possible Target-ID numbers range from 1 to
99. This number represents the electrical conductivity of the target; higher
numbers indicate more highly conductive targets.
Target indicators on the screen only represent the last object detected. This
detector has fast target response and is able to detect different objects in very
close proximity. Therefore, the Target-ID displayed may change rapidly as you
sweep the searchcoil.
Mode
Indicator
Three seconds after a target is detected, the ID numbers will time-out and
disappear and the Target Category Icon will change to the non-illuminated state.
Solid illumination of a singular target category indicates the detector is
confident of the target identification. If target-ID confidence is low, the detector
will assign several possible categories with the most likely target category solid
black and less likely target categories shaded gray.

Relic hunters will frequently seek out iron-laden sites as good prospective
treasure-hunting sites. The iron indicator alerts the user to the presence of
iron, even if iron has been discriminated out. Relic hunters can search free of
iron-target audio, yet still be alerted to the presence of ferrous objects or
search with no discrimination and use the FeTone™ feature to decrease the
Audio Volume of ferrous targets
The detector will provide 1 of 4 sounds for any metal object detected: a bass,
4-Tone Target Identification
low, medium or high tone. This audio feedback system is useful in conjunction
with the visual Category Icon system described above.
