I had to spent hours reading through the metal detector's repetitive user manual and type out on my laptop so I can use this thing!I was able to reduce the font enough to just print and tape to the detector case we can use it properly!Metal Detector Labels & Quick Use Guide:Metal Detector: waterproof 8” coil & Automatic Tuning & Ground Balancing.Buried metal detection in virtually all extreme soil conditions, regardless of mineral content (black sand, under water, etc.).-Turn ON by rotating the Sensitivity knob. Clockwise to highest sensitivity setting for maximum depth & performance.If the unit “chatters”, reduce sensitivity slightly, just until gone.To reject most Foil & Iron objects, turn up the “Disc/Notch”(Discrimination) knob.Sweep coil: from side-to-side, parallel to the ground & 1/2” above it. Raising coil=false readings. Move slowly & gently, moving too fast=missed objects.Move forward to a new area, while slightly overlapping the previously swept area.Desirable metal objects will respond with a repeatable tone. Broken/non-repeatable tones are generally false detections (electrical interference/large irregular trash objects).Pinpoint the exact location of the target: By sweeping in a narrowing side to side & front to back pattern. If signal is too: Strong-lift coil, Weak-lower coil & use short quick sweeps.-Set the 3 MODES TOGGLE switch accordingly:1. “ALL METAL” = No Discrimination: Sensitivity knob might need reducing, in this setting.Detects all different types of metal such as: Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Gold, Iron, Silver & Steel.Maximum detection & depth (especially w/sensitivity set full clockwise & Discriminate control full counterclockwise/Off).Applications: Relics(historical objects), Gold Prospecting/nuggets(abandoned mines/river beds!), Cache(valuables in a case, can, strong box, or bag. May be behind an old floor/wall).Beaches & General applications such as property marker locating, lost: key, machine part, etc.2. “TONE” = Tone Discriminate: A dual low/high tone “beep” & automatic Iron & Steel rejection. Identify metals according to tones.Discriminate knob adj.: higher to increase range of the low tone. Low tone for: Gold & Nickel, Gold rings & can-Pull-Tabs(or ideal in-between “broken” tone-if set at approx. center “12:00” position).High tone for: Brass, Copper, Silver & Larger coins. Chains & necklaces are difficult to detect.Applications: Coinshooting, Jewelry Hunting(where people congregate!) & detecting in highly trashed areas.3. “DISC” = Full Discrimination: Only detects Brass, Copper & Silver, not Gold. Rejects detecting most trash/no-value items.Discriminate knob adj. higher to increase the rejection.Applications: Coinshooting-set Discriminate knob at 3/4 “3:00” position. Different denominations of coins will induce different sounds.-IF Detector gives:False signals: Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signals.
Chatters/beeps erratically: Reduce the Sensitivity setting.Inconsistent signals: Can occur on highly rusted metals. If the signal does not repeat on successive passes, the target is usually not valuable.Emitting erratic signals in a field: Swing coil slowly & reduce sensitivity, just until false signals disappear.Beeps erratically: Electromagnetic field interference from a near by electrical appliance or natural source-turn sensitivity down/move away from source.Not stable & has a pulsing, distorted tone, instead of a clear tone: Move away from another metal detector/power lines interferences.Emitting a constant loud/repeating tone: 9v Batteries are low, use only Alkaline.Use optional Headphones for: improved battery life, to hear subtle tone changes clearly, needed in noisy environments.
