OWNER’S MANUAL
Your Lone Star Metal Detector is an advanced microprocessor-controlled metal
detector. This motion detection system requires movement over an object in
order for the machine to detect the object and emit a tone.
THE LONE STAR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:
1. ALL METAL DETECTION
All types of metals will be detected. From nails and property markers, to
valuable treasure, all types of metal will induce a single tone.
2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes
Completely eliminate iron and trash items from detection in “DISC” mode,
with the use of the DISC/NOTCH knob.
Automatically eliminate most pull tabs and trash items from detection in
the AUTO NOTCH mode.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY:
If demonstrating indoors, beware of interference from electromagnetic
fields.
If interference occurs, the detector will chatter or beep erratically.
•To avoid interference, turn the sensitivity down.
DO NOT TEST ON THE FLOOR
Most floors contain metal, which will interfere with the target’s signal.
