Ground Balance Procedure Continued...
is made to the GROUND BALANCE control while the detector is held at arms
length like a suitcase. Determine whether the sound increases or decreases
when the detector is raised about six inches further above the ground and make
the appropriate GROUND BALANCE
correction. Lower the loop and press
and release the PUSH BUTTON.
Continue with this procedure until there
is little or no change in THRESHOLD
when the DETECTOR is lifted.
D) The GROUND BALANCE proce-
dure becomes critical as the SIGNAL
BALANCE control is turned toward
(+)
. The SIGNAL BALANCE control
need not be set past the NORMAL
range for most searching. If GROUND
BALANCE cannot be accomplished as
set out above, try moving to a different
location as you may be over a buried
metal object. If trouble persists, turn
SIGNAL BALANCE control slightly
counterclockwise toward
again. The greatest detection depth (deepest penetration) will be achieved by a
SIGNAL BALANCE setting suited for the conditions, indicated by smooth stable
operation, and the ability to set the GROUND BALANCE control. If GROUND
BALANCE is appropriate at NORMAL, or if finding the correct GROUND BAL-
ANCE setting is relatively easy, you may want to turn the SIGNAL BALANCE
control slightly clockwise toward
steps. This assures the best SIGNAL BALANCE setting for the conditions,
thus the greatest detection depth. The AUTOMATIC THRESHOLD should be
returned to AUTO once GROUND BALANCE is completed.

Once TM 808 can be
lifted about six inches,
with little or no change
in threshold, Ground
Balance is set correctly.
