With the search head 1-2 cm from the ground, press and hold the RETUNE button (lower mid) and adjust the TUNE control until a tone is just heard. Release the RETUNE button. The CS1220XD is now ready for use. If the tone drifts from the threshold position press the RETUNE button to reset the level.

The CS1220XD is powered by eight AA batteries (not supplied) available from garages, department stores, etc. or a single 12v rechargeable pack from C-Scope. It is advisable to use standard alkaline batteries to start with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in rechargeables is justified.

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.

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.

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.

to get maximum depth without problems associated with keeping the search head a constant height above the ground surface. 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.

CHARGING BATTERIES A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-Scope battery charger (see Accessories) and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of the two sockets.) Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector so the charger must be removed to do a battery check.
against you finding it. On the other hand, if you pegged out the area scientifically and searched slowly and thoroughly, the odds of finding the ring would be very much more in your favour. Remember, BE PATIENT and WORK SLOWLY. Do not try to cover too large an area, restrict yourself to a small area and work through it thoroughly.
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.
