Treasure Cove Metal Detector Professional 9700 OWNER’S MANUAL www.Treasure-Cove.
MAIN FEATURES The detector has two distinct systems: 1. ALL METAL No-Motion Mode: In this setting, detected targets will cause the detector to sound off for as long as the target is under the searchcoil—motion is not required to detect a target. When operating in the ALL METAL Mode, adjust GND BAL(GROUND BALANCE) to ensure proper mineral elimination. It is required to push GND TRAC several times after adjusting GND BAL. All targets will be detected with a medium tone. 2.
4. Unscrew the knob on the search coil and remove the knob connector. Insert the stem and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem. Push the connector through the holes and tighten the knob. 5. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable. 6. Insert the search coil’s plug into the matching jack on the detector’s control housing. Caution: z The search coil’s plug fits into the jack only one way. Do not force the plug or you could damage it.
z Use only fresh alkaline batteries of required size. z Do not mix the old and new batteries or different types of batteries. Follow these steps to install batteries. 1. Slide the POWER button to POWER, if the unit is powered on. 2. Slide the left and right battery covers off in the direction of the arrow. 3. Place a 9V battery into the battery compartment matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. 4. Replace the battery covers. Warning: z Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
phone Listening Safely z To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. z Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. z Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety. FUNCTIONS AND INDICATIONS 1.
PANEL WITH TOUCHPADS 1. MODE—lets you choose detection modes. 2. ADJ—to adjust sensitivity and the range of discrimination 3. ENT—to confirm accepting or rejecting the target being detecting in NOTCH mode. 4. SURF-ELIM: Applied in DISC, NOTCH, AUTO-NOTCH modes and is used to eliminate metallic trash present on the surface or at shallow depths. 5. GND TRAC—It is applied in ALL METAL mode and permits the unit to maintain optimum ground balance at all times. 6.
target. If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or does not appear. Note: z If an arrow points to a coin denomination, the detector might be detecting either a coin or another type of metal (such as jewelry, tokens, medals, or even junk metal) about same size and type as the coin. z Since the indications are approximations, the detector might not have actually found the item it indicates.
When the unit is in DISC, NOTCH, AUTO-NOTCH modes, its audio identification system automatically classifies metal objects into three categories with three different tones—low, medium and high. It makes it easier to identify the type of the target being detected.
b. NOTCH-- to ignore the metal type you do not want, or to accept the one you want. Press MODE to NOTCH mode. LCD displays NOTCH on the screen. There is one line of bars below the icons. Press + or -, one of the arrows above the bar will blink. At this time, if you press ENT, the bar below the arrow will disappear. This means the target pointed by the blinking arrow is notched. If you want to pick up the notched item, press ENT again. Then the bar below the arrow will be recovered.
get ALL METAL mode. LCD displays ALL METAL at the left lower part of the screen. Press GROUND TRAC several times to allow the unit to stabilize when first going into ALL METAL mode. Lower the searchcoil to about one inch (2.5cm) above the ground. Slowly sweep the searchcoil above the ground. When the unit passes over metal object, LCD will display the depth of the object. Also the unit emits a tone. When the unit approaches the target , it emits a higher tone.
2. When adjusting GND BAL counterclockwise, be careful to turn it in small increments—This will assure that you achieve optimum condition for operation. If you turn the knob too far counterclockwise, you can turn it clockwise using same ground balancing procedure until a tone is being emitted and then cut it back counterclockwise slightly until a tone is no longer being emitted. 3. Anytime the GND BAL control is moved, the GND TRAC touchpad must be pushed afterwards.
5. In modes of DISC, NOTCH and AUTO-NOTCH, slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) 4~5 inches (10~12cm) or more above the face of the searchcoil. When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a tone and an arrow appears below the target icon. Also LCD displays the depth of the target. 6. In ALL METAL mode, hold a metal sample one feet (25cm) or more above the face of the searchcoil, then slowly move to searchcoil.
Searchcoil Sweeping Hints: z Never sweep the searchcoil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the searchcoil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings. Correct z z Wrong Sweep slowly, hurrying will cause you to miss targets. It’s better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 3 inches motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground. If the detector detects the item, it sounds a tone, an arrow and the depth appear on the display below the target icon.
z z False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large irregular piece of junk metal. False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable. Pinpointing The Target Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier. But it takes practice. We suggest you practice finding sample on your own property before you search other locations. Follow these steps to pinpoint a target. 1.
The angle of the target buried in the soil. z The depth of the target. z The level of oxidization of the target. z The Size of the target. z Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target. If you detect patiently and correctly and practise more times, you’ll get satisfactory result. z CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your metal detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following troubleshooting steps may assist you in case you’re having problems with your metal detector. YOUR DETECTOR IS EMITTING FASE SIGNALS WHEN YOU’RE IN THE FIELD Your SENSITIVITY may be set too high. Try cutting back the SENSITIVITY slightly until the false signal disappears. Remember, to swing your coil slowly.
