USE AND FUNCTIONS
Your Metal Detector distinguishes between ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Ferrous metals contain iron, while nonferrous metals such as gold, silver,
copper, platinum, aluminium, lead, and zinc do not. When the detector senses
a metallic object, the meter reading changes and the detector might sound a
tone. The actual reaction depends on what metal is detected.
Preparing the Detector
Hold the detector in a comfortable position, then rotate VOLUME away
from OFF to the desired sound level. Set BATT TEST to OPERATE to detect.
TUNE fine-tunes the balance between the detector's receiver and transmitter
circuitry to provide consistent pointer and tone indications.
1. Rotate VOLUME to the
11 o'clock position and set
DISCRIMINATION to its
midpoint.
2. Hold the search coil about 1 foot
away from the ground and any
metal object, hold down the red
button on the handle, and slowly
rotate TUNE left and right until
the pointer on the viewmeter
rests at or near 0, then release
the red button.
As you search, you can fine-tune the detector using DISCRIMINATION (see
„Fine-Tuning the Detector" on the next Page). Press the red button on the
handle at any time during ope- ration to automatically return the pointer to 0.
