GENERAL SAFETY

CAUTION:

Incorrect usage of batteries may result in battery leakage, overheating, or explosion.

Released battery ﬂuid is corrosive and can be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is

very harmful if swallowed.

WARNING:

• Do not use the Metal Detector in areas of trac.

• Always obtain permission before searching or digging any site.

• Keep away from regions that may contain electrical lines, or piplines in particular ones full

of ﬂammable gases and liquids.

• When digging, please use a reasonable method and ensure the vegetation where the hole

is created, is properly ﬁlled and placed as was its original state.

• When using Headphones, do not set it loud, as detecting an object dramatically increases

in volume and can damage your hearing.

To reduce the risk of injury:

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Do not heat, open, or dispose of batteries in fire.

• Do not mix new and old batteries or different types (for example, carbon-zinc and

alkaline batteries).

• Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery on the device.

• Always remove batteries if they are old, weak or worn-out before storing your device

for an extended period of time. Be sure to promptly recycle or dispose of the batteries in

accordance with Local and National Disposal Regulations.

• If the batteries leak, immediately remove all batteries with care and keep the leaked fluid

from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid comes in contact with your skin, immediately

wash with water.

TURNING ON THE DETECTOR

1. Press the POWER button to turn on the detector.

2. LCD will display all the symbols and the detector will make sounds low,

medium and high tones respectively. After about 2 seconds the detector enters

into STAND-BY state. At this time the default mode is DISC

3. You are now ready to use the detector.

TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR

To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before you

use it for the first time. You can test detector indoors and outdoors.

TESTING AND USE

1. Turn on the detector.

2. Setting the operating mode:

- DISC: Press the DISC, then + or - to set the DISC numeric value.

If the numeric value is set to 00, the detect can detect all metals. If you

want to find one of the target materials listed on the LCD, you can set the

relative numeric range of DISC by press the DISC button, then adjusting

with + or - buttons.

EXAMPLE of detections:

- IRON (range 0 - 5)

- 5c (range 6 - 17)

- P-TAB (range 18 - 26)

- ZN (range 27 - 38)

- 1c (range 39 - 62)

- 25c (range 63-99)

NOTE: When adjusting numeric value the indicators located above, it will not

detect the metals below the numeric value you have selected.

When detecting the metals, the Target indicator bars above the metals on top

of your screen will light up.

2. NOTCH - Pressing NOTCH then the + or - buttons to select the material you

do not want to detect. it will prevent being detected. If you want to detect the

material again, press NOTCH button again to set back to normal.

OPERATION

OPERATION (Cont.)

3. Press the SENS then press + or - button to set the sensitivity. The default level

is of 6 bars. Note: if you dont press the SENS then + or - buttons within

2 seconds the detector will enter back into standby mode.

4. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table, then remove any watches,

rings, or metal jewelry you are wearing.

5. Adjust the Ring Coil / flat part towards to cieling.

NOTE: Never test the detector on a floor inside the building, most building

have metal of some kind inside the floor, which might interfere with the objects

you are testing or mask the signal completely.

6. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a

gold ring or coin) within 2-3inches or above the face of the search coil.

When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a tone, and the bars above

the target names will light up according to the metals detected and a tone will

be heard.

TARGET INDICATIONS - Numeric Values of Targets:

- IRON (range 0 - 5) - ZN (range 27 - 38)

- 5c (range 6 - 17) - 1c (range 39 - 62)

- P-TAB (range 18 - 26) - 25c (range 63-99)

NOTE: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified for

certain until unearthed. This table is for general reference only.

TONE SOUNDS

The detector comes with three tones for different types of metals. The built-in

audio identification system sounds a unique tone for each of three categories of

metal. This makes it easier to identify the metal being detected.

LOW TONE - For IRON, foil, bottle cap or nickels.

MEDIUM TONE For P-TAB, ZN, 1c (aluminium pull tabs, zinc or copper items)

HIGH TONE For 25c, brass or silver items.

NOTE:

- When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode, the detector sounds

a medium or high tone when it detects highly oxidized iron.

- Depending on the purity, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector

to sound a medium tone.

OPERATION (Cont.)

OUTDOOR USE

1. Turn on the metal detector by pressing the power button.

2. Follow the steps described in TESTING AND USE.

3. Once ready, find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.

4. Place the sample of material you want the detector to find (such as gold ring

or a coin on the ground).

NOTE: If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark

the area where you place the item to help you find it later. Do not place in tall

grass or weeds.

5. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1-2 inches above the surface,

slowly move the search coil over the area where you place the sample

sweeping the search coil to a side-to-side motion.

- Never sweep the search coil and raise away from the ground at the end of

a sweep as it will cause false readings. Please see below example:

When sweeping search coil side to side (see below), be sure to do it at a slow

pace. If the detector detects an item a tone will sound and the LCD display will

indicate the type of metal found with the numeric range.

Please make sure you are moving the search coil correctly, shown below:

To detect targets that are deeply

buried, you can adjust the SENS sensi-

tivity to a high position.

DO NOT set it to MAX sensitivity, this

will detect other electronic lines and

will be unstable and irregular detection.

OPERATION (Cont.)

PINPOINTING THE TARGET

Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier, but it takes practice.

Follow the below steps to pinpoint a target:

1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search coil

over the detected area in a narrowing side to side motino.

2. Make a visual note of the exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.

3. Stop the search coil directly over this point in the ground. Then move the

search coil straight away toward you and ahead of you a coiple of times to

pin point the location.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 at the right angle and mark the spot where the sweeping left

to right tone detection, plus the foward and backward motion tone detection

with an X. This is the locations of both moving motions for detections meet.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT DETECTING

- The angle of the target buried in the soil.

- The depth of the target.

- The level of oxidization of the target.

- The size of the target.

- Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding target.

NOTE: In an area of highly mineralised ground or wet sand, the detector will

sound even if there is no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity or

increase the DISC numeric value. Meantime decrease the distance of the

ground and the search coil while sweeping.

In an area with trashy metal, you can set the DISC numeric value to 50. In this

case most nails and small pieces of iron will be eliminated.
