S EA RC H M OD E S DISCRIMINATION MODES (DI2, DI3, COG, DEP and SWT): D fferent than the General Search mode, there s no threshold n these modes and the dev ce em ts a warn ng tone only when a target s detected. If the sens t v ty level s not set properly, you can hear a crackl ng sound n these modes.

G RO U ND BA L A NCE On the contrary, f the sound gets louder as you lower the search co l to the ground, t means that the ground balance value s too h gh. In other words, the ground s pos t ve and you need to lower the ground balance sett ng w th the down button.

G RO U ND BA L A NCE If the sound cont nues and the dev ce g ves an ID, there s a h gh chance that t s a target. If the sound gets weaker or d sappears after a few sweeps, t means that that the dev ce gave a s gnal for the ground change or the hot rocks.
