Your Lone Star Metal Detector is an advanced microprocessor-controlled metal
detector. This motion detection system requires movement over an object in
order for the machine to detect the object and emit a tone.
THE LONE ST R H S TWO TYPES OF OPER TING MODES:
1. LL MET L DETECTION
All types of metals will be detected. From nails and property markers, to
valuable treasure, all types of metal will induce a single tone.
2. DISCRIMIN TE, NOTCH, and UTO NOTCH modes
Completely eliminate iron and trash items from detection in "DISC" mode,
with the use of the DISC/NOTCH knob.
Automatically eliminate most pull tabs and trash items from detection in
the AUTO NOTCH mode.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY:
• If demonstrating indoors, beware of interference from electromagnetic
fields.
• If interference occurs, the detector will chatter or beep erratically.
• To avoid interference, turn the sensitivity down.
Most floors contain metal, which will interfere with the target's signal.
