Target Identification - Bounty Hunter Platinum Owner's Manual

TARGET IDENTIFICATION

In DISCRIMINATION Mode, targets are identified both audibly and visually
as follows:
1. Different pitch tones for different types of metals
2. A 2-digit Target-ID.
3. An illuminated icon within the target category best describing it
The detector must be in DISCRIMINATION Mode to identify targets.
The ALL METAL Mode does not provide target identification.
