Off / On - Sensitivity Control
This control has two functions. When turned fully
anticlockwise the detector is switched off.
Turning the control clockwise will initially turn the
machine
on. Turning
clockwise will increase the sensitivity setting of
the detector. Maximum sensitivity is achieved
when the control is turned fully clockwise. The
ability of the detector to locate small or deep
objects will increase with the sensitivity setting.
In some environmental conditions the detector
may produce false beeps which do not indicate a
target. In this case it is recommended that the
sensitivity setting is reduced until the problem is
resolved.

Discrimination Control
On the VK30 only: this control has two functions.
When turned fully anticlockwise it will click and
switch the detector into All-Metal mode. Turning
the control slightly clockwise will switch the
detector into Motion mode and from this point
the control will work exactly as on the VK20.
This control is used to discriminate against
unwanted metal targets. When turned fully
anticlockwise, all metal targets will be found. The
further the control is turned clockwise the more
discriminating the detector will be. When turned
fully clockwise only the most conductive metals
(Silver and Copper) will be found. All other
targets will be ignored. For general detector use
it is not recommended to search with the
discrimination control set to full as you may miss
the most valuable targets. Items such as gold
rings are not as conductive as a piece of copper
and will be missed if the discrimination control is
set too high.
When this control is adjusted, the display unit
indicates the current setting. The number
displayed relates to the minimum target ID
number that will give an audio signal when
detected
