Note: The detector turns Off automatically if no button is pressed or no target is detected within 15 minutes.
Operation These steps go beyond Quick Start and explain how to successfully operate your detector from turning on to recovering a target. TURN ON 4. PINPOINT A TARGET Press the Power button to turn the detector On, Once you have detected a target that you want to waiting a few seconds for the start‑up calibration dig, use the Pinpoint function to narrow down the to complete.
Detector Settings Excessive Noise VOLUME Sometimes, excessive noise is encountered whilst The Volume setting changes the loudness of detecting. This can be caused by environmental target signals. electrical interference from sources such as power lines, Press the Volume button to cycle through the volume mobile phone towers, or other metal detectors.
Pinpoint Depth Gauge Pinpointing helps you to quickly narrow down the The Depth Gauge indicates the approximate depth of a location of a buried target, allowing you to determine its detected target. exact location before digging. The Depth Gauge is a guide only. Fewer arrows indicate a While Pinpoint is active the detector will play a sound shallower target, more arrows indicate a deeper target.
Target Identification TARGET IDENTIFICATION TARGET GROUPS NUMBER Target Groups are located along top of the Display. Each Target Identification Number has a corresponding Target Identification (Target ID) numbers range from 0 Target Group icon that will flash when that type of to 99 with ferrous (iron) targets ranging from 0 to 30.
