C-SCOPE CS6MX Operating Instructions Manual page 8

Detecting with the CS6MX
On the majority of inland sites the ground control should be set to AUTO
and the recommended sensitivity setting between 7-9 on the scale will give
the best results. Some types of ground may give rise to false signals and the
sensitivity level should be reduced to a point where operation of the detector
becomes stable.
Sweep the detector head from side to side with a steady relaxed motion.
Keep the search-head parallel and as close as possible to the ground right
across the arc of the sweep.
Search your chosen site carefully by moving forward only the width of the
search-head at each sweep. Move up and down the search area in lines so
that there is plenty of overlap in the ground you have covered. Search with the
sensitivity set as high as possible according to the ground conditions.
Setting the GROUND control.
With GROUND set to AUTO and with DISC VOL and IRON VOL set to
maximum, find an area which is free from metal.
a) Switch the GROUND control out of the AUTO setting to position 1.
b) Gradually increase the GROUND control until the low (iron) tone produced by
the ground as the search head is raised and lowered, stops.
c) Reset the DISC VOL and IRON VOL to your prefrred setting.
