QUICK START GUIDE
We strongly encourage you to thoroughly read and understand
everything in this operation manual prior to using your new
Fisher Coin Strike. This will enable you to obtain the optimum
performance when you detect. However, we can provide a few
quick suggestions that can help you get started. To begin hunting
with your new Coin Strike, you will at least need to be familiar with
the control panel (see page 6).
1. Turn ON the Coin Strike by pressing and releasing the POWER
button.
2. Push and release the MENU button. Push this button
repeatedly until the MEM icon ashes. Then, press the UP
arrow button until the two-digit display shows “FP” (factory
preset). Finally, push and release the P/P (MEM) button. This
will set the Coin Strike as follows:
Iron Disc = 99
Threshold = 0
Sensitivity = 7
Salt Mode OFF
Volume = 10
Notch Disc: Eliminate Foil and Tabs
These factory present settings are a good start for COINS
only hunting.
3. Lower the search coil to the ground in an area completely
void of metal. Next, press the AUTO GROUND button and
hold it for about 2 seconds. Then, while still holding the AUTO
GROUND button down, lift the coil about 6 inches off the
ground, hold for a second, and release the button. The
Coin Strike will give you a brief tone to let you know the
ground balance has been achieved.
4. Begin your search, using the method described on
page 19.
5. If you prefer to hunt using our advanced FisherTrack system,
or other advanced features (such as the salt mode), please
refer to this operation manual.
Precision Visual Pinpointing
When the P/P button is pushed and held, the non-motion pinpoint
mode is activated. This pinpoint mode may be familiar in some ways
(when the target is approached, the audio intensity increases),
but different in others (the digital numeric indicator). The two
digit (0-99) LCD will help you to accurately pinpoint your target
by increasing in value as the center of the target is approached.
This gives you much more resolution in pinpointing than a “depth
estimation” system, and allows you to characterize size, shape,
and location of your target better.
GROUND BALANCING/TRACKING
The Coin Strike offers three options for handling the soil mineralization
you may encounter. Our new auto-ground balance system and
our FisherTrak ground tracking system are made possible by our
AFS

(Adaptive Feedback System) technology.
AUTO GROUND BALANCE:
The precision automatic ground balance system will provide
ground balance accuracy that exceeds any setting achieved
manually. The procedure is quite simple: After you have set up
your controls and are back in the search mode, lower the search
coil to the ground in an area completely void of metal. Next, press
the AUTO GROUND button and hold it for about 2 seconds. Then,
while still holding the AUTO GROUND button down, lift the coil
about 6 inches off the ground, hold for a second, and release the
button. The Coin Strike will give you a brief tone to let you know
the ground balance has been achieved. This procedure can
be repeated at any time, as you change your settings or ground
conditions change. It is fast and accurate.
