Quick-Start Demonstration - Bounty Hunter Land Ranger PRO Owner's Manual

PINPOINT
Press-and-hold to activate the Pinpoint feature.
Searchcoil motion is not required; a motionless searchcoil over a metal target
will induce sound.
Audio is V.C.O. The 2-digit number displayed indicates target depth, in inches.
The scale in calibrated to coin-size objects.
After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection, press-and-
hold to identify the target's exact location. This technique can yield more
information about the target's shape and size and also find its exact location to
facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Press and hold
.
2. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the
target.
3. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target, and you can locate it
by the sound.
The target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil near
the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the center.
2. Release .
3. Immediately press-and-hold
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
Note: Depth indication is less accurate after narrowing.
COIL DRIFT
If you plan to use PINPOINT for continuous searching, realize that drift will
occur over time, causing the detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic
retuning of the detector is required to minimize drift; release and press
periodically to retune.
Pinpointing using motion modes (without
1. Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side patterns.
2. Take note of the spot on the ground where "beep" occurs.
3. Step 90° to the side of the target.
4. Sweep searchcoil over same area, at 90° to the 1st sweep pattern.
5. This pinpoints the target location with an "X".

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION

I. Supplies Needed:
a Nail (made of iron) a U.S. Quarter (or silver coin)
a U.S. Nickel a Gold Ring
a U.S. Dime a U.S. Penny, dated after 1982 (post-1982
pennies are made of Zinc)
(Most newer non-U.S. coinage also contains mostly Zinc)
II. Position the Detector:
a. Place the detector on a table with the searchcoil hanging over the edge. Or
better, have a friend hold the detector with the searchcoil off the ground.
b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls, floors and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and jewelry.
d. Turn off lights or appliances whose
electromagnetic emissions may cause
interference.
e. Pivot the searchcoil back.
f. Reset detector to default settings:
with detector OFF,
Press-and-Hold . Press
III. Demonstrate COIN MODE:
a. If display does not indicate "DISC
You are now in the preset Coin Mode.
b. Wave objects over searchcoil. Wave coins flat, parallel to searchcoil.
Notice the different sounds and 2-digit Target-IDs while you wave each
object over the searchcoil:
High Tone: Dime, Quarter & Silver Coin
Medium Tone: Nickel, larger Gold Rings
Low Tone: Zinc Penny, smaller Gold Rings
The Nail will not be detected in COIN MODE.
IV. Demonstrate DISCRIMINATION MODE:
2
(This demo uses the DISC Mode. There are other discrimination modes.)
2
a. Push until DISC appears on lower right of the display.
b. Wave the nail; it is now detected. Notice the low tone.
c. Wave all other objects over searchcoil. They all induce the same sound, but
have different Target-IDs. Notice V.C.O. change as objects move closer or
farther from searchcoil.
d. Push until "DISC LEVEL" is highlighted.
e. Push until "19" is displayed.
f. Wave nail. It will not be detected because it has been "discriminated out."
g. Press until "59" is displayed.
h. The Penny and Nickel will not be detected. They have now been
"discriminated out."
V. Demonstrate PINPOINT FEATURE:
a. Press and hold . "PP" momentarily appears on the screen
b. Hold a coin motionless over the searchcoil.
c. Lower coin toward searchcoil and then raise coin away from searchcoil.
d. Notice that the sound changes as the coin moves closer and farther.
e. Notice that the depth indicator changes as the coin moves up and down.
