Good batteries produce HIGH PITCH BEEP for a few seconds upon turn on A LOW PITCHED BEEP upon turn on indicates low batteries. - Page 13 Prizm™ 6T (voltage controlled oscillator) which aids in both pinpointing and separating metals near each other. VCO varies the audio pitch with target strength, pitch increases as the search coil nears the center of the target. Release P/P automatically returns to the search mode. Areas of difficult ground mineral may be easier to search in All Metal mode, watching the display ID for DISC.
- Page 14 Prizm™ 6T 5. Depth Indication - A. The depth of coin-sized metals is automatically indicated on the left- hand portion of the display. When in the pinpoint mode (P/P button pressed and held) the large numerical number, which normally shows the VDI target reference, changes to show a more specific depth indication.
- Page 15 Prizm™ 6T D. Regardless of the metal detector used when searching, you are going to dig some trash targets. Use the tone, display, and depth reading, to increase the odds of recovering valued metal items. E. The depth bar graph indication (left side of display) continuously indicates the depth of the target from 10 plus inches (lower left) to zero inches on the upper left.

- Page 18 Prizm™ 6T some areas. Another option for difficult ground areas is searching in the All Metal mode. Automatic Ground Tracking provides optimum performance when the changes in the ground mineralization are progressive. Trac Locking tends to improve performance when search- ing highly spotty mineral changes or anytime an average ground setting doesn’t provide good results.
- Page 19 Prizm™ 6T Displays 1. Nine distinct target categories are listed across the top of the display and indicate the most common metals found within these categories. It is important to understand the display information should only be consulted after a solid repeatable audio target “beep” has been located. 2.
