GROUND BALANCING

Before using the PINPOINT mode, it is necessary to "Ground Balance" your
detector, this ground balancing adjustment offsets the effects of minerals
and salts in the ground.
To GROUND BALANCE your detector:
1. Using the ALL-METAL mode, find a patch of ground which is free of
metal objects. You will use this section of ground to test the detector.
The presence of any metal objects in this area will interfere with this
procedure.
2. Begin with the ground balance
KNOB in the PRESET position.
5. Lower the search coil to the ground,
maintaining it elevated about 1/2 inch above
the surface (be sure that this ground does
not contain metal).
• If the detector emits sound with the search coil 1/2 inch over the
ground, further ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY.

3.
Lift the search coil waist high in the air.
