OPERATING TIPS
1. Keep the search coil cable wound snugly
around the stem when diving around coral or
jagged rocks to keep it from snagging.
2. Divers should make sure the drain holes in the
headset are unobstructed. Better yet, wait until
you’re on the bottom before putting your
headset on, and take it off before surfacing.
3. Divers should also keep the search coil at least
2 feet away from their bodies. Metal gear
(weights, gauges, tanks, etc.) will be detected by
the IMPULSE if held too close.
4. Practice pinpointing. There’s nothing sacred
about the method described in this manual.
Many IMPULSE users have developed their own
pinpointing methods.
5. If you’re wading or hunting on land, hold your
digging tool behind your back or above your
waist. Your IMPULSE is sensitive enough to sound
off each time the coil gets near it.
6. Don’t waste a lot of time digging holes for
targets you can’t find. If your hole keeps getting
deeper and wider, cover it up and go on. You
may be over a buried pipe or some other large,
deep target. (However, if you’re looking for a
deep target, keep digging.)
7. If you’re looking for large, shallow targets,
detune your IMPULSE slightly below threshold.
You’ll pass right over a lot of small trash this way,
but you won’t miss items capable of producing a
strong target signal.
8. Good things often come in two’s or even
three’s. Once you’ve recovered a good target,
always recheck the hole for a second signal and
carefully search the immediate area by
searching slowly around the hole two or three
times, slowly increasing your search area. Always
dig every suspicious sound in the vicinity of a
good find.
9. Recheck your hole even if your find was trash.
