Press the red button on the handle at any time during operatio n Note： and the pointer will return to 0 automatically. 3.USING THE DETECTOR Remove watches, rings, or other metal jewelry you are wearing Holding the search coil level a nd about 1/2-2 inches abo ve the ground. -

At "0" the detector may still make a sound. When detecting ferrous metal, detector will give out a lower voice as the pointer moves to the left , possibly silencing when all the way left. When detector finds non-ferrous metal, it will make a louder voice while the pointer moves to the right. - Page 8 Move a sample of the material y ou want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) about 5 cm above the search coil. If the detector detects the material, the pointer moves to the lef t (ferrous) with its sound down or t o the right (non-ferrous) with it s sound up while the det ector determines the typ e of meal it is detecting.

Search Coil Sweeping Hints: Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pe ndulum. Raising the search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep cause s false readings.

things: the angle at which the ob ject rests in the ground, the depth of the object, the amount of iron in the object, the size of the object. 4. PINPOINTING A TARGET Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier . However, it needs practice to improve this skill, and we suggest you practice finding and digging up small met al objects on your ow n property before yo u search other locations. -

Notes: If trash in an area is so heavy that you get false signals, slow your sweep speed and use shorter sweeps. Recently buried coins might not respond the same as coins b uried for a long period of time because of oxidation. Some nails, nut s, bolts, and other iron objects (such as old bottle caps) oxidize and create a “halo”... -

The detector might sound a false signal if it detects heavily oxi dized metals. Try pinpointing the target from several different angles (see “Pinpointing a Target”). If the detector does not display and sou nd the same signal each time, th target probably heavily oxidized metal. - Page 14 Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic device s, damage the cases of the detector. Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chem icals, cleaning solvents, or stron g detergents to clean the detector.
