Quick Start DEMONSTRATION
Here is a quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your Tracker IV.
I. Supplies Needed
• A quarter (25¢)
• A nickel (5¢)
• A Penny (1¢)
• A small piece of aluminum foil
• A Nail
II. Position your Tracker IV
• Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge.
• Be sure that the searchcoil is far away from walls or metal objects. Keep the searchcoil away
from any metal in the table.
III. Beginning Switch Settings
• Right Knob (Discriminate) – LOW
• Toggle Switch – Middle Position
• Turn detector on with "Sensitivity"
knob set to 3:00 position
• Reduce "Sensitivity" in case of interference
IV. All Metal Detection
A. Wave all objects over the searchcoil
• NOTICE THE SINGLE TONE
V. Tone Mode Detection
A. Move toggle switch to the right position – TONE
B. Turn the "Discriminate" knob to 2:00 (about 3/4 turn)
C. Sweep all of the different objects back and forth under the
searchcoil
• NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES
• NOTICE THE METALS REJECTED
VI. Disc Mode Detection
A. Move the toggle switch to the left position – DISC
B. Turn the "Discriminate" knob to LOW
C. Sweep all of the different objects back and forth under the
searchcoil.
• NOTICE THE METALS REJECTED
D. Turn the "Discriminate" knob slowly to the right while
sweeping all of the different objects at different settings.
• NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES
• NOTICE THE METALS REJECTED

PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by
"X-ing" the suspected target area.

REMEMBER:
searchcoil passes directly over the buried object.
If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting

Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing
side to side pattern.
Take visual note of the place on the ground where the
"beep" occurs as you move the coil slowly from side to
side.
Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
Now move the coil straight forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which
the "beep" occurs.
If needed, "X" the target at different angles to "zero in" on
the exact spot on the ground at which the "beep" occurs.
The detector will beep just as the center of the
