PREPARATION ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR Assembling the detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps. 1. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and the connector. Insert the smaller stem and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem.

Loosen the knobs at the search coil’s end, then adjust the search coil to the desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten the knobs just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling. INSTALLING BATTERY If the detector is on, turn VOLUME (on the control housing) to OFF.
remove the battery. Dispose of old battery promptly and properly. When POWER LED blinks, replace the battery. USING EARPHONES You can connect a pair of stereo earphones (not supplied) to the detector so you can listen to it privately. Using earphones also saves battery power and makes it easier to identify subtle changes in the sounds you hear, for better detection results.

include gold, silver, copper, platinum, aluminum, lead. Turning On the Detector Hold the detector in a comfortable position, then rotate VOLUME away from OFF to the desired sound level. At this time, POWER LED lights. Zeroing the Detector Rotate VOLUME to mid position. Set DISC to the midpoint.
Testing and using the detector To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors or outdoors. Indoor testing Remove any watches, rings, or other metal jewelry you are wearing, then place the detector on a wooden or plastic table.
pointer moves to the left and the surround LED indicates by red light or to the right and the surround LED indicates by blue light (non-ferrous). Usually the closer the detector gets to the metal object, the bigger movement the pointer will make. If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power and verify that the search coil is properly connected.

the search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep causes false readings. Sweep slowly – hurrying makes you miss targets. It’s better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 10-15cm motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
FINE-TUNING THE DETECTOR After you become familiar with how your detector works, you can fine-tune it to make it more selective in what it finds. Discrimination is the detector’s ability to differentiate between types of metal. The detector’s DISCRIMINATION setting determines whether the detector will distinguish between different types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
recognize the difference between signals that occur at random and signals that are stable and repeatable. To reduce false signals when searching very trashy ground, scan only a small area at a time using slow, short overlapping sweeps. DETECTION HINTS No detector is 100 percent accurate.
the search coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion. Make a visual note of the exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps. Stop the search coil directly over this spot on the ground. Then move the search coil straight forward away from you and straight back toward you a couple of times.
Problem Suggestions The detector displays or You might be sweeping the detector’s sounds false signals. search coil too fast or at the wrong angle. Sweep the search coil more slowly and hold the detector correctly. See “Testing and Using the Detector” and “Pinpointing a Target”.

Keep the metal detector dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Use and store the metal detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
