refer to the “Sensitivity” section for advice on urban

operation and using high sensitivity settings.

3. Perform Frequency Scan (if needed to

eliminate electrical interference).

Press MENU button until FREQ SCAN is selected,

then presss the MENU plus (+) button to begin

process. Takes approximately 45 seconds.

4. Ground Balance (if needed to eliminate ground

response).

Press and hold GND BAL button while bouncing

coil above the ground until ground response

disappears or becomes as small as possible.

5. Begin scanning.

Lower the searchcoil to about one-half inch (1.25

cm) above the ground and scan the coil left and

right at approximately 3 feet/second (1 meter/

second). The coil must be in motion for target

detection.
