TURN ON PROCEDURE
1. Set your controls as follows:
MODE: NORMAL
MINERALIZATION: LOW
SENS: 10
GROUND REJECT: 10
VOLUME: OFF
NOTE: You will probably find
that most of your searching will
be done with the MODE and
MINERALIZATION switches set to
NORMAL and the SENSITIVITY
control set at something less
than 10. If you’re working in
unfamiliar ground, however, we recommend that
you try starting at the maximum sensitivity and LOW
MINERALIZATION settings.
2. Hold the search coil waist high, away from any
nearby metal.
3. Turn the VOLUME control to 10. A short, loud squawk
is normal at turn-on, so if you’re wearing
headphones, start the volume at 0 and let the audio
settle down before you increase it to a level that’s
comfortable when the coil is passed over a large
or shallow target.
NOTE: If your headset has volume controls, set the volume
control on your Bug to “10” and your headset volume
to zero. Then adjust your headset volume controls to a
comfortable level when the coil is passed over a large
or shallow target.
4. With the search coil still in the air, rotate the
THRESHOLD control on the back of the control
housing until you hear a very faint, continuous
signal. This is the audio threshold tone you’ll need
to hear while hunting to maintain optimum
performance from your Gold Bug-2.
The threshold signal is a soft background
tone heard when operating the Gold
Bug-2, is set by adjusting a metal stem at
the rear of the control housing.
