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.
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. Also, you might need to fine-
tune the detector (see "Fine-Tuning the Detector").
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.
4. While holding the search coil level and about 1-2 inches above the ground, slowly
move the search coil over the area where you place the sample, sweeping the search
coil in a side-to-side motion.
5. Try finding other metal in the area.
When you find a metal item, wait a few seconds after the tone stops before continuing, to allow the detector time
to reset (or, press the red button on the handle to return the pointer to the centre of the vu-meter.
d. Search Coil Sweeping Hints:
• Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep causes false readings.
• Sweep slowly - hurrying makes you miss targets.
• If the detector detects the material, it sounds a tone and the pointer moves to the type
of material if found. Set MODE to TR2 to determine the quality of the metal.
• If the detector does not detect the material, make sure you are moving the search coil
correctly.
