TARGET PINPOINTING

After you have identified a target using Discrimination Mode,
press-and-hold the PINPOINT button to identify the target's exact
location. This technique can yield more information about the target's
shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of
the target.
2. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target; you can locate
it by the sound. The target is located directly under where the
sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil
near the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the
center.
2. release the PINPOINT button.
3. Press-and-hold PINPOINT button again.
4. repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection
further.
