rotate to tighten the lock nut.
4. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Insert the search coil's plug into the search coil jack on the
detector's control housing. Caution: Do not over-tighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to
tighten it. The search coil's plug fits into the connector only in one way. Do not force the plug and also do
not pull on the cable or you could damage it.
5. Stand and stretch your arm, holding the metal detector to make the search coil above the ground for
about 1 to 5 cm. Rotate the stem's lock nut counterclockwise to tighten it.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES: 1. Turn off the power before installing the batteries. 2. Slide the left and
right battery covers off in the direction of the arrow. Place a 9V battery into the battery compartment
matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Never bury or burn them. Cautions: Use only fresh alkaline batteries of required size. Do not mix
the old and new batteries or different types of batteries. If you don't plan to use the unit for a week or
more time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Change
the batteries if the battery indicator on the LCD lights.
USING HEADPHONES: 1. It is recommended to choose the headphones with volume control.
2. Insert the headphones' 3.5mm plug into the PHONE jack. At this time the internal speaker disconnects.
Listening Safely: To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting
Before you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Do not wear
headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTROL PANEL:
1. VOLUME/POWER switch: Rotate volume control away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. PHONE jack: You can insert the headphones' plug of 3.5mm into the PHONE jack and operate without
trouble. At this time the internal speaker is disconnected.
3. LCD DISPLAY
4. CONTROL BUTTONS
MENU: Press MENU, LCD will display LIGHT, SENS, DISC, NOTCH. One of the displayed item will flash. If no
button is pressed in about 5 seconds, the flashing item will be selected.
SENS: Press MENU to select SENS. Then press + or – to adjust the level of sensitivity. The level will be
displayed on the LCD.
DISC: Discriminates the unwanted target by setting the numeric range. Press MENU to select DISC. Then
press + or – to adjust the numeric range of discrimination. The number will be displayed on the LCD.
NOTCH: Eliminates the target you don't want. Press MENU to
select NOTCH. Then press+ or – to select the target to be
notched. The cursor above the selected target will flash. Press
NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will disappear.
PP: Pinpoints the location of the target accurately.
LIGHT: Press MENU to select LIGHT. Then press + or – to adjust the level (0-9 ) of LIGHT. The level will be
displayed on the LCD. Note: As the backlight consumes more power, it's better to turn off it in light places.
5. MEMORY: The detector will memorize all the settings before power is off.
OPERATION: 1. TURNING ON THE DETECTOR: Rotate volume control away from OFF to power on the
detector. After about 2 seconds the detector enters into stand-by state. At this time the default mode is
DISC. LCD displays DISC of 00 and SENS of 6 bars.
2. TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR: To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should
test it before you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors and
outdoors.

INDOOR TESTING AND USE
1. Rotate the volume control away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. Setting the operating mode: (1) DISC: Press MENU to select DISC, then + or – to set the DISC numeric
value. If the DISC value is set to 00, the detector can detect all kinds of metal. In this case, when the
detector finds a target, the cursor above the target name lights. Also the detector sounds a tone, low for
iron; medium for 5 cent, nickel, pull tabs, zinc; high for 25¢ or silver object. If you don't want to find the
target listed on the LCD, you can set the relative numeric range of DISC by pressing DISC then + or -. For
example, the numeric target range for 5¢ is 11-20, you can simply press MENUS to select DISC, then set the
DISC number to 21 by pressing + or -. In this case, the numeric range is beyond 5¢.The detector will not
have response to it. Neither will the detector have response to iron. Because the target numeric range for
iron is 0-10.
(2) NOTCH: Press MENU to select NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be notched. The cursor above
the selected target will flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will disappear. It means
this target will be notched during the detection and the detector will have no reaction to the notched
target. If you want to pick up the target notched, simply press NOTCH again. Press + or -, the cursor will
move from left or right. If NOTCH is not pressed within about 3 seconds, the detector will enter standby
state.
Note: 1. It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD. Because if you notch everything, you
can't find anything. 2. If you want to select the setting of DISC or SENS after pressing NOTCH, you have to
wait for about 3 seconds until the cursor above the target goes out. 3. Press MENU to select SENS, then
press + or – to set the sensitivity. The default level is of 6 bars. 4. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic
table, then remove any watches, rings, or metal jewelry you are wearing. 5. Adjust the search coil so the flat
part points towards the ceiling. Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings
have metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects you're testing or mask the signal
completely. 6. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a
coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search coil. When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a
tone and the cursor above the target name will light. Also LCD displays the numeric value of target as well
as the signal strength of it. Please note that the signal strength is only a reference.
Note: If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold it so a flat side is parallel with
the flat side of the search coil. A sweep with the side of coin over search coil might cause false indication
and unstable display of target.
7. PP (PINPOINT): After you find a metal object, you can use PP to pinpoint the target. Hold down PP button.
Slowly move the search coil above the sound area. The detector sounds and the signal indicator on the LCD
displays the level of signal. Then release the button. Sweep the search coil again, keeping the same
distance of search coil, sound disappears. Hold down PP again, closer the search coil to the sound area, the
detector sounds again. Repeat the above steps until the detector displays the stronger signal where the
location of the target is. Press MENU to quit the PP mode. Note: To find the exact location of target, you need
to practise more times.
TARGET INDICATIONS: 1. Numeric ranges of target: IRON: 00-10 / 5¢: 11-20 / P-TAB: 21-40
ZN(1¢): 41-60 / 10¢: 61-75 / 25¢: 76-99
Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified for certain until unearthed. This
table is for general reference only.
2. Types of target: IRON: It indicates that the target is probably iron. 5¢: It indicates that the target is
probably 5¢ or a nickel. Some small gold rings might register within this range. P-TAB: It indicates that the
target is probably a pull tab of an aluminum can. Some small gold rings might register within this range.
1¢: It is indicated that the target is probably a coin of 1¢ or type of metal of zinc alloy. Some medium sized
gold rings might register within this category.
