IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by
"X-ing" the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing
side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the "beep"
sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight
forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which
the "beep" sounds.
6. If needed, "X" the target at
different angles to "zero in" on
the exact spot on the ground at
which the "beep" sounds.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X",
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.

COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.

ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Arm Rest
Most people will find the standard position
of the arm rest very comfortable. Very large
forearms and short forearms (particularly
children's arms), can be accommodated
by moving the arm rest forward.
The arm rest is adjustable to three positions.
To adjust, remove the screw from the
underside, then press the silver button
and move the arm rest to one of the
alternate positions. If you cannot fully
depress the button with your finger, use
a narrow object, such as the blunt end
of a ballpoint pen. The arm rest must be
twisted with moderate force to move it
to an alternate position; this adjustment
is usually made infrequently.
If desired for added stability, re-install
the screw. The screw is not re-installed
in the furthest forward position.
If the button becomes disengaged inside
of the tube, remove the plastic cap at the
end of the tube to access the clip inside.
With a pair of needle-nose pliers,
reengage the button. Then replace the
plastic cap.
