OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DETECTING A TARGET
HELPFUL HINTS
• You have to hold the detector with coil down to start detection after turn on.
If you continue to hold the detector with the coil up, the detector will not start
operation.
• You can secure the detector to your wrist using the attached wrist strap.
• Before submerging the detector make sure the battery compartment seal is
secure.
• Always use high quality batteries such as alkaline or nickel metal hydride
(NiMH).
Turn on the detector: Hold unit with the search coil up for about three seconds. Light
will flash four times first and the other two flashes will occur simultaneously with
short pulses of vibration and a steady dim light indicate unit is on.
Turn off the detector: After use, hold unit with the search coil up for about three
seconds. Light will flash four times first and the other two flashes will occur
simultaneously with short pulses of vibration and no light indicate the unit is off.
Note: If no metal is detected within one minute, the unit will automatically turn off.
Low battery turn off: When the battery is low the unit will shut down automatically
indicated by four long pulses of vibration and bright light.
After turning on the detector, hold it with coil down to start detection. When target is
located, the detector indicates with vibration and bright light. These pulses increase
in quantity as the closer the search coil is to a detected target. The quantity of
pulses is proportional to the target size and distance. The bigger the target, or the
closer the search coil is to the target, the higher the pulse count. Movement of the
search coil is required to detect a target. Sweep the search coil back and forth along
the surface you are searching. Move the coil slightly away and then re-approach the
target to get the next detection.
