ASSEMBLY
Assembly is easy and requires
no tools.
●
1 Loosen both Locking Collars by rotating 100%
counterclockwise.
●
2 Insert the Middle Stem into the S-Rod and
click Silver Button into hole.
●
3 Position the lower stem with the silver button
toward the back.
Using the bolt, one rubber washer, and
knurled knob, attach the searchcoil to the
lower stem.
●
4 Press the button on the upper end of the
lower stem, and slide the lower stem into the
middle stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain a
comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at
your side, and the searchcoil parallel to the ground in
front of you.
●
5 Wind the cable securely around the stems.
A loose or moving cable can cause false signals.
●
6 Connect cable plug to housing.
Do not twist the cable or plug. Turn knurled locking
ring only. Use minimal finger pressure to start the
threads. Do not cross-thread. When the locking ring is
fully engaged over the threaded connector,
give it a firm turn to make sure that it is very
tight. When the locking ring is fully engaged
over the threaded connector, the locking ring
may not cover all of the threads.
●
7 Tighten both locking collars.
●
8 Secure the cable with the 2 velcro straps
provided, one on the lower stem close to the
searchcoil, and one on the upper stem, close
to the housing. Leave just enough slack in the
cable, at the searchcoil end, to be able to
rotate the searchcoil a small amount about the
bolt. After full assembly and upon first use in
the field, check this adjustment. It is very
important to keep the cable secure against the
stem, especially at high Gain, as movement in
the cable may cause false signals.
SEARCH TECHNIQUES
Target Verification
After detecting a target, do the
following:
1. Walk around the target in a
circle.
2. While circling the target,
continue sweeping the
searchcoil across the target.
3. Sweep once every 30° or 40° of
the circle.
If the tone does not change
and the target ID value is
consistent as you circle the
target, you can be highly
confident of the target’s
identification.
If the tone or target ID
changes as you circle the
target, you may have multiple
targets or an irregularly shaped
object.
If the tone completely
disappears at different angles, the target may be trash or a low-
value metal.
If you are new to the hobby, dig all targets. With practice in the
field, you will soon be able to correlate audible and visual target
feedback with certain types of metal objects.
Pinpointing in Discrimination mode:
1. Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of spot on ground where “beep” occurs.
3. Step 90° to the side of the target.
4. Sweep searchcoil over same area, at 90° to 1st sweep pattern.
5. This pinpoints the target location with an “X.”
SEARCHCOIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the searchcoil,
be careful to keep it level with
the ground about 1/2 inch from
the surface. Never swing the
searchcoil like a pendulum.
