1. DISCRIMINATE Mode
This mode is the default mode, and requires the searchcoil to be in motion in
order to detect and identify targets. This is the mode most commonly used for
continuous searching. In this mode, targets are identified with distinct tones,
and are classified in categories at the top of the display. A two-digit numerical
value, on a scale of 10 to 99, is displayed in the middle of the screen. The
depth range of the target is also displayed at the bottom of the display. All
menu items can be selected and customized in this mode.
2. ALL METALS Mode
This mode is similar to the "Fast Autotune" or "SAT™" mode found in other
detectors. Only the SENSITIVITY and VOLUME menu items are adjustable in
this mode.

3. PINPOINT

To activate this mode, you must first be in either the DISCRIMINATION or ALL
METAL mode. Press and hold
momentary; pinpoint detection is only active for as long as you keep
depressed.
Metal targets are detected with the searchcoil motionless over the target.
Target identification is not possible in this mode. All metal objects will induce
a single monotone hum. The 2-digit value in the middle of the screen
represents the approximate target depth, in inches.
Pinpoint is used to find the exact location of a target which was previously
located and identified using the discrimination mode. As this mode does not
require motion over the target, the user can move the coil more slowly and
then narrow the detection field when near the target.
