1. SENS--- sensitivity control and also used as power switch. Fully counter-clockwise rotate the switch to OFF to turn off the power. Rotate it clockwise away from OFF to turn on the power. When you rotate the SENS from 0 to 10, the sensitivity is gradually increased. 0 is the lowest position for SENS; while 10 is the highest position. In general case, user can set the SENS to a high position. But in mineralized area, or area with electrical interference, it’s better to lower the SENS properly. 2.
