Smart Trac All Metal Mode; Sensitivity Adjustment For Smart Trac All Metal - Bounty Hunter Time Ranger Owner's Manual

Time Ranger Manual
Iron Level 1, shown as "Ir 1", will reject the smallest of iron objects such as tacks, small screws, small nails
and BB-size objects. "Ir 2" will reject items up to about twice the size of "Ir 1". "Ir 3" will reject mid-range
size iron objects such as a small pocketknife, yet still detect larger iron objects such as a pistol, cannonball, or
strongbox. At the "Ir 4", all iron is now rejected. If any level of iron is rejected, the remaining higher level of
iron will be detected, but at a somewhat reduced depth. (NOTE: As each level of Iron is discriminated, from
Ir 1 to Ir 4, the preceding Iron Levels can no longer be detected; for instance, you cannot discriminate "Iron
Level Two" while still detecting "Iron Level One".)
FOIL: After the 4 Levels of Iron are programmed as desired, you can now program foil. When foil is ready
for programming, the LCD Display will read "Fo". Push the Touchpad at this time to selectively accept or
reject foil. If any levels of iron or foil have been rejected the "R" will appear under IRON/FOIL to indicate
that rejection. Accepted items of this category will be detectable (after programming is complete) and the
display arrow will appear during detection.
After you've programmed IRON/FOIL, the arrow will then move over and be blinking under "5¢". Normally,
you will want to accept the "5¢" target since many gold items fall under this category. Upon pushing the
ACCEPT touchpad, the arrow will move over and now be blinking under "PULL TAB" (there will be no "R"
indication under "5¢"--unless "5¢" was rejected). Continue by pushing the ACCEPT or REJECT touchpad for
each target. At any time, to accept the remaining targets, push the DISC TARGET touchpad--you're now in a
customized hunting mode.
PRESET has 3 LEVELS of TARGET REJECT: To operate in one of the automatic PRESET modes, follow
the same procedure for turning the unit on with searchcoil waist-high. When the arrow is blinking under
"IRON/FOIL", push PRESET. An "R" will now appear under "IRON/FOIL" (This is PRESET 1 and all levels
of iron and foil are now discriminated). Push again for PRESET 2 and an additional "R" will appear under
"Pull Tab". Push the PRESET touchpad a third time for PRESET 3 and an "R" will now appear under
"Z-1¢/S-CAP" all items with an "R" are now discriminated out.

SMART TRAC ALL METAL MODE

You may switch to the ALL METAL mode when operating in the DISC TARGET mode simply by pushing
the SMART TRAC touchpad while the searchcoil is on the ground. If you want to operate in the ALL
METAL mode directly after turning the unit on, all that is required is to follow the normal turn on
procedures. Turn unit on while holding the searchcoil about waist-high. "Ar" will appear, followed by the
blinking arrow under "IRON/FOIL". As soon as the blinking arrow appears under "IRON/FOIL", lower the
searchcoil to the ground and then push the SMART TRAC touchpad. The letters "gb" (Ground Balance) will
appear momentarily, followed by "rY" (Ready).
Try moving the searchcoil to another spot if "rY" does not appear in 10 seconds. An "rY" under "TARGET"
on the LCD panel indicates that the unit has measured the ground and is ready for operation in the SMART
TRAC ALL METAL mode.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT for ALL METAL SMART TRAC:
For maximum sensitivity, in the ALL METAL SMART TRAC mode of operation only, the SENSITIVITY
indicator will always point to "5" and you should hear a slight "threshold" hum from the speaker (or
