a. Preparing the Detector
1. Set BATT TEST to OPERATE.
2. Hold the detector in a comfortable position, then rotate MODE to the desired position. Set it to VLF to test battery
power and adjust TUNE and GROUND. (See "Fine-tuning the Detector" and "Adjusting GROUND"). Set it to TR1
to detect extreme differences in metals, such as between in metals, such as between iron and gold. The
difference between iron and gold shows on the meter (iron in the ferrous section, gold in the non-ferrous section).
Set it to TR2 to detect finer distinctions between metals, for example between aluminium and gold (see "Adjusting
DISCRIMINATION").
Follow these steps to set TUNE:
1. Rotate VOLUME to the 10 o'clock position.
2. Set MODE to VLF.
3. Set DISCRIMINATION, GROUND and SENSITIVITY to their midpoint.
4. Hold the search coil about 1 foot (30cm) away from the ground and any
metal object. While pressing the red button on the handle, slowly position
TUNE until the pointer on the vu-meter rests at 0. Release the red button.
As you search, you can fine-tune the detector using the other controls (see "Fine-Tuning the Detector")
Note: Press the red button on the handle at any time during operation to automatically return the pointer to 0.
b. Indoor Testing
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 or outdoors. You need to fine-tune the detector before every use
(see "Fine-tuning the Detector").
1. Remove any watches, rings, or other metal jewellery you are wearing and place the
detector on a wooden or plastic table.
2. Adjust the search coil's angle so the flat part faces 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 are testing or mask the signal completely.
3. Set MODE to TR1.
4. Move a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or coin) about 2 inches (± 5cm)
above the search coil.
Notes:
• The search coil will not detect without motion. You must move the object
since you are not sweeping with the detector at this time.
• If you are using a coin, the detector detects it more easily if you hold it so a
flat side (not the edge) is parallel with the flat side of the search coil.
• If the detector detects the material, the NON-FERROUS and FERROUS
indicators flash and the pointer moves to FERROUS or NON-FERROUS
while the detector determines the type of metal it is detecting. If it detects
non-ferrous metal, it also sounds a tone.
• If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power and
verify that the search coil is properly connected.
c. Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
2. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or
a coin) on the ground. (If you are using a valuable metal such as gold to test the
detector, mark the area where you placed the item, to help you find it later. Do not
place it in tall grass or weeds).
3. Set MODE to TR1.
