TARGET IDENTIFICATION
Target-ID
When objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound and a 2-digit Target-ID
will appear on the screen. Possible Target-IDs range from 1 to 99. This number
represents the electrical conductivity of the target; higher numbers indicate more
highly conductive targets.
The 2-digit number indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. This detector
has fast target response and is able to detect different objects in very close
proximity. Therefore, the Target-ID displayed may change rapidly as you sweep the
searchcoil.
Three seconds after the last Target-ID is displayed, the Target-ID will time-out and
the number will disappear.
At the same time the 2-digit Target-ID appears an indicator will illuminate along the
Target Category Arc indicating which target category the detected metal object falls
into. The segment at the top will time out in 3 seconds along with the Target-ID.
3-Tone Target Identification
The detector will provide 1 of 3 sounds for any metal object detected: a low,
medium or high tone. This audio feedback system is useful in conjunction with
the visual Target-ID system described above.
The faceplate label is color-coded above the Conductivity Arc. Ferrous, gold and
silver targets will generally register within their corresponding color-coded
ranges. Targets that are not gold or silver register within the same range
according to their electrical conductivity.
Note that the electrical conductivity of a target depends on both its composition
and size. Silver is more conductive than gold so it registers farther to the right;
the larger the silver object, the farther it registers to the right.

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. Press to power on.
III. Demonstrate DISCRIMINATION Feature:
a. Pass all objects over the searchcoil and notice the different tones.
Nail: low tone
Nickel: medium tone
Zinc Penny: medium tone
Gold Ring: most gold rings will register with a medium tone
Dime: high tone
Quarter: high tone
b. Press until DISC is highlighted on the display.
c. Press once. The iron indicator on the display will disappear.
d. Wave the nail. It will not be detected because it has been
"discriminated out."
IV. Demonstrate NOTCH Feature:
a. Press until NOTCH is highlighted.
b. Press four times. The "Zn" icon will flash and then disappear.
c. Wave a Zinc Penny over the searchcoil. It will not be detected because it
has been "notched out." Notice on the display the target categories not
illuminated are not detected.
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.
