How To Pinpoint Targets; Pinpointing A Target In The Self-Tuning Mode - Bounty Hunter TimeRanger Owner's Manual

L How to pinpoint targets
When you've discovered a target you wish to dig, do the following:
1. Hold the searchcoil about half an inch above the ground, off to
the side of where you think the target probably is.
2. Tap the ALL METALS/SmartTrac touchpad button. This will put
you into the All Metal Pinpoint mode. NOTE: unlike the other
modes, this mode does not require the searchcoil to be in motion
to detect a target.
3. Lift the searchcoil slightly, and pass it over the target. The sound
will be loudest over the center of the target.
To Narrow It Down Further:
4. Now that you know about where the target is, again lower the
searchcoil to about half an inch above the ground, near the
center of the target but not right over the top. Tap the button
again. The sound will instantly go away.
5. Lift the searchcoil slightly and move it horizontally over the
target. The audible response zone will be much narrower. If you
move the searchcoil around right and left and also forward and
back, making an "X" pattern over the target, you can determine
the location of the target usually within an inch or two.
NOTE: If at any time it seems like the signal may be drifting, just
tap the button again. This restores the signal to its zero level.
L Pinpointing a target in the Self-Tuning mode
Follow these steps for best results when attempting to pinpoint a
target, in the self-tuning all metal mode.
1. When you hear a tone response indicating a buried target,
continue sweeping the search coil over the target side-to-side
pattern.
2. Keeping your eyes on the ground, notice where the "beep" occurs
as you move the search coil slowly side-to-side.
3. Move the search coil straight forward
and straight back towards you a
couple of times.
4. Again, keeping your eyes on the
ground, notice where the "beep"
occurs.
5. If necessary, "X" the target at different
angles to zero in on the exact spot on
the ground where the "beep" occurs.
The following diagram illustrates the
proper "X-ing" technique.
Try drawing an X over the location
where the tone is being emitted.
