IV. TREASURE METER
Your meter moves when metal is detected. it shows the
strength of the signal and helps with pinpointing the object.
Watch for the location where the meter jumps strongly to
the right; that’s where the target is.
V. AIR TESTING
You can test your detector by passing coins over the
search coil. Remember that coins found on the ground will
lie flat; so pass the coins parallel to the search coil for
optimum results.
CAUTION: There is metal in the floors, ceilings, walls and
counters of most homes. There is metal in tables. Keep the
detector away from metal. Do not attempt to place coins on
the floor of your home or apartment; the metal in the floor
will interfere with the signal.
It is best to have a friend hold the detector body, with the
search coil suspend in the air, while you pass the coins.
If you turn the detector on and turn the Trash Eliminator
switch fully clockwise (to the right), you will hear different
tones. Pass a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, nail,
screwdriver and pull-tab. Notice the different sounds, or no
sound at all! Turn the Trash Eliminator to many different
settings, and sometimes notice different tones for the same
object.
