Page 8: Preface
1.1 Preface Dear customer, all of the engineers, sales, training and support staff at OKM GmbH would like to thank you for your purchase of the Rover UC. The Rover UC detector works on the principle of Electro-Magnetic Signature Reading (EMSR). Besides the detection of metallic objects this device is also capable of detecting natural features of the earth like formations of strata, cavities, voids, faults, ground water and other non-metallic objects. -
Page 9: Important Notes
1.2.4 Voltage The power supply should not be outside the indicated range of values. Use only approved chargers, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are included in the scope of delivery. Never use the 115/230 Volt mains supply. OKM GmbH www.okmmetaldetectors.com... -

Note the color of the ground close to the surface. A red or reddish color of the ground is an indicator of rust traces. As regards the finds themselves, you should definitely pay attention to their shape. Curved OKM GmbH www.okmmetaldetectors.com... - Page 11 Moving such an object may cause those crystals to produce friction, leading to an explosion. If you come across such relics, mark the place and do not fail to report the find to the police. Such objects always pose a danger to the life of hikers, walkers, farmers, children and animals.

The starting position of two scanning paths is always on the same side of the measured area. You will only record data in one way and in one direction, while you should return and walk back to the starting position of the next scanning path without recording data.

All further control measurements should be adjusted individually. • What is the form of the object you search? If you are looking for an angular metal box, the identified object in your graphic should have a form according to this. OKM GmbH www.okmmetaldetectors.com... -
Page 50: Orientation Of Probe
Especially in uneven territories like mountain sides, acclivities or other inclined layers the parallel mode is preferred. When it comes to speed, the experienced user will very often use the Zig-Zag mode for the initial scan to determine if there are anomalies in the area worth further research.

Now there is also the possibility that you have a scan that has a lot of different colors all at the same time.
