Please read this user's manual carefully and thoroughly before operating this equipment. 1.INTRODUCTION Features: LCD Display- Shows the probable type of metal being detected. Notch-Ignores junk metal and finds valuable items by setting the notch range. DISC-Discriminates the unwanted target by setting the DISC numeric range. LIGHT-Used in dark area. PP-Pinpoints the location of the target accurately. Headphone Jack-Lets you connect headphones.
2.ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR 1.Places screws according to the picture. Loose the lock nut 2.Loose the lock nut and lengthen the stem. Lengthen the stem 3.Sheathe lower stem on S stem aligning holes on stem. 4.Secure with fixing knob. Tighten the lock nut 5.Tighten lock nut counter clockwise. Note for the batteries: 1.Turn off the power before installing the batteries. 2.Place two 9V battery into the battery compartment matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
3.OPERATION (INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTROL PANEL) ① VOLUME/POWER switch Rotate volume control away from OFF to power on the detector. ② LCD DISPLAY Taraet indicator 5￠ IRON P-TAB 1￠ TARGET LIGHT DISC SENS DISC numeric indicator 1￠ DISC 25￠ SENS SIGNAL NOTCH MENU CONTENT DISC/NOTCH indicator SENS/SIGNAL indicator Target numeric indicator Low BATT indicator ③ CONTROL BUTTONS MENU: Press MENU, LCD will display LIGHT, SENS, DISC, NOTCH. One of the displayed item will flash.
NOTCH: Eliminates the target you don’t want. Press MENU to select NOTCH.Then press+or–to select the target to be notched. The cursor above the selected target will flash.PressNOTCHagain, the target name below the cursor will disappear. PP: Pinpoints the location of the target accurately. LIGHT: Press MENU to select LIGHT. Then press + or – to adjust the level (0-9 ) of LIGHT. The level will be displayed on the LCD. Note: As the backlight consumes more power, it’s better to turn off it in light places.
B.OUTDOOR TESTING AND USE 1. 2. 3. 4. Rotate the volume switch away from OFF to power on the detector. Follow the instructions described in OPERATION to set the SENSITIVITY,VOLUME,DISC,NOTCH and operation mode. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
5.TARGET INDICATIONS 1. Numeric ranges of target: -IRON: 00-10 -5¢: 11-20 -P-TAB: 21-40 -ZN(1¢): 41-60 -10¢: 61-75 -25¢: 76-99 Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be tified for certain until unearthed. This table is for general reference only. 2. Types of target - IRON: It indicates that the target is probably iron. - 5¢: It indicates that the target is probably 5¢ or a nickel. Some small gold rings might register within this range.
Adjusting SENSITIVITY After you become familiar with how your detector works, it’s important to fine tune the sensitivity to get a good effect. Press MENU to select SENS. Then press + or - to increase or decrease the sensitivity. The level will be displayed on the LCD. Note: In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a high level. But not to set the level of SENS to Max.
Trouble shooting Guide Problem Reason Suggestion The detector sounds false signals 1.Sensitivity set too high/environmental electromagnectic interference 2.Sweeping the detector's search coil too fast or at wrong angle. 3.Using 2 detectors in close proximity 1.Reduce sensitivity. 2.Sweep the search coil more slowly and hold the detector in the proper position 3.Keep any two detectors at least 6 meters(20'') apart. The detector does not detect anything. 1.Sensitivity set too low. 2.
7.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. Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the detector to work improperly. Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage the cases of the detector.
