5.1 Turning on the detector
First turn the volume knob (1) to 12 o'clock (halfway between min and max).
Slide the power switch (6) to ON. All symbols are displayed on the LCD screen. The detector sounds a
high, medium and low tone respectively.
After about 2 seconds, the detector automatically goes ALL METAL mode, with the regulation buttons (5)
available for the sensitivity (SENS) adjustment. The standard value of SENS is 5.
5.2

Setting the operating mode

The detector has three operating modes: ALL METAL, DISC and NOTCH. You can select the desired mode
by pressing the corresponding key (3) at the left of the function panel. Whatever the mode, upon
detecting something, the detector will always sound a tone and indicate the probable type of metal by
means of an arrow underneath the icons, and also indicate the depth of the object.

ALL METAL: used for detecting any type of metal. In this mode, only the SENS value can be adjusted.

DISC: used for target discrimination. You can set the target range by pressing the DISC/NOTCH
regulation mode button (4) and then the UP or DOWN button (5). The detector can detect the metal
type indicated on the display. All other metal types are rejected. For example, if you set the DISC
level 4 segments from MAX to MIN, the detector can detect S-CAPS, 1¢ or 25¢ whilst other types of
metal are rejected. The detection range can only be extended from silver towards gold.

NOTCH: used to detect purer types of silver or gold. When you press the NOTCH operation mode
button (3), the detector will only detect purer silver and gold objects, discarding most alloys.
Pressing the DISC/NOTCH button and then the Up button will result in less pure objects being
detected. This mode works from the 'pure' metals on both sides towards the middle.
5.3 Testing and using the detector
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before you use it the first time.
You can test the detector indoors and outdoors.
INDOOR testing and use
NOTE: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have metal of some kind in the
floor, which might interfere with the objects you are testing, or mask the signal completely.
1. Slide the POWER switch to ON.
2. Select the operating mode.
3. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table, and remove any watches, rings or metal jewellery
you are wearing.
4. Adjust the search coil so the flat part points towards the ceiling.
5. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin)
2-3 inches above the face of the search coil. When the detector detects any metal within the
selected range, it sounds a tone and an arrow appears below the target icon. The LCD displays the
depth of the target.
NOTE: if you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold it so that a flat side
is parallel with the flat side of the search coil. A sweep with the side of the coin over the search coil
might cause false indication and unstable display of the arrow.
OUTDOOR testing and use
1. Slide the POWER switch to ON.
2. Select the operating mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
NOTE: If you are using a valuable metal sample such as gold to test the detector, mark the area
where you placed the item, to help you retrieve it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds.
