    Signal strength - when in GD1 or GD2 and the ‘all metal’ Ground mode. METHODS OF OPERATION There are two main ways to use the CS1220XD: 1) Pre-programmed searching - for ease of use 2) Manual settings - for total flexibility on all sites Check the batteries are in good condition prior to searching.
  • Page 10 Meter Disc Meter Audio Disc This is the recommended mode when starting to use the CS1220XD and is best demonstrated by an air test (with the search head away from ground and all metal objects). Turn the FUNCTION control (3) to METER AUDIO DISC (fully clockwise) and adjust the SENSITIVITY control (2) to mid-position.
  • Page 11 This mode is similar to operate to the Meter Audio Disc. The only difference is the way the CS1220XD responds to metal objects. All detected metal objects will be indicated by an increase in loudness. The meter will indicate whether the target is accepted or rejected. In this mode the audio pitch is constant.

When a target object has been located, note the location of the signal and take the search head to one side of the object (at least two to three feet), but ensuring you do not raise the search head from the ground.

    20%. Discriminating When used in the Ground Mode the CS1220XD will detect all metals and will not discriminate. However, in the Meter Disc and Meter Audio Disc Modes the CS1220XD has been programmed to operate at a fixed discriminate setting.

    Detection Range Your CS1220XD is a top performance detector but adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of detection. Detection ranges will vary depending on the size of the object, the length of time an object has been buried, and the type of ground the object is buried in.

    is well to note here that the operator should not rush. This is one of the most common mistakes made by detector users. If you rush, you will not adequately cover the ground. METAL DETECTING AND THE ENGLISH LAW The rights of the finder fall into two distinct classes. The first relates to objects that have been recently lost, and the second to items of gold or silver which are subject, or might be subject, to the laws of the Treasure Trove.

    2. Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. 3. Do not leave a mess. It is simple to extract a coin or other small objects buried a few inches under the ground without digging a great hole.
