The Commando is a “motion” detector. This means that the
search coil must be moving to detect the presence of metal. When
practicing with a stationary metal detector, keep the target moving
over the coil. Objects held still under the search coil will not be
detected.
THREE MODES OF OPERATION
The Commando allows for three modes of operation:
ALL METAL, TONE AND FULL DISCRIMINATE
After turning the unit on, and adjusting your Sensitivity to the
desired setting, you're now ready to decide on your mode of
operation.
ALL METAL:
(Toggle Switch in the Middle)
In this mode, all
different types of metal will be detected such as: iron, steel,
aluminum, brass, silver, copper and gold. Applications: Relic
Hunting, Gold Prospecting, Cache Hunting and general applications
such as property marker locating. This mode provides maximum
depth detection capability.
FULL DISCRIMINATE:
(Toggle Switch to the Left)
When using the
Full Discriminator, most trash items will be automatically rejected.
Adjust the DISCRIMINATE control higher to increase the range of
discrimination.
TONE DISCRIMINATE:
(Toggle Switch to the Right)
When using
the Tone Discriminator, a unique dual tone “beep” and automatic iron
rejection makes finding treasure fun and easy. It's also possible to
achieve a broken tone for certain pull-tabs by adjusting your
Discriminate control to the approximate center position (12:00).
With the two-tone discrimination, along with a broken tone for
pull-tabs, you will be able to identify types of buried metals
according to the audio tones emitted. Applications: Coinshooting,
Jewelry Hunting and detecting in highly trashed areas.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following troubleshooting steps may assist you in case you’re
having problems with your Commando.
YOUR DETECTOR IS EMITTING ERRATIC SIGNALS
WHEN YOU’RE IN THE FIELD.
Your SENSITIVITY may be set too high.
Try reducing the
SENSITIVITY slightly
until the false signaling disappears.
Remember to swing your coil slowly.
Some inconsistent signals will occur on
highly rusted metals. If the signal does not
repeat after successive passes of the coil
over the same area, then the target is usually not worthwhile.
Natural and man-made electromagnetic fields can cause interference.
YOUR DETECTOR IS NOT STABLE AND HAS A PULSING, DISTORTED
TONE INSTEAD OF A CLEAR TONE.
This can occur if you’re operating near another detector or near power
lines that can interfere with the detector’s operating frequency.
YOUR DETECTOR IS EMITTING A CONSTANT LOUD TONE OR
CONSTANT REPEATING TONES
This usually occurs when the batteries are low. Try replacing your
batteries with two new alkaline batteries.
NOTE:
Always use Alkaline Batteries for proper performance.
