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 slats in he 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 pres-
ence of any metal objects in this area will interfere with this procedure.
2. Begin with the ground balance KNOB
in the PRESET position.
3. Lift the search coil waist high in the air.
4. Press the PINPOINT touch pad.

5. Lower the search soil 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
coils 1/2 inch over the ground, further ADJUST-
MENT IS NECESSARY.
• If the detector remains silent with the
searchcoil 1/2 inch over the ground,
no further adjustment is
necessary; the detector
is "GROUND
BALANCED"
