BASIC OPERATION

on the ground. Non-repeatable tones indicate the presence of trash objects
or highly oxidized metals.
You can increase the level of sensitivity, depending on the ground
conditions. If the detector emits false signals, simply reduce the Sensitivity
until the false signals cease. The detector will work well with the Sensitivity
in the 2:00 or 3:00 position, but higher Sensitivity settings will increase depth
detection. If you need maximum depth detection, operate in the ALL METAL
Mode, which allows for higher Sensitivity control settings.
