G-858BP Backpack Mag Operators Manual
Chapter 4: Search Mode
Search Mode
In search mode, the magnetometer operates normally, displaying data and the woowee audio
tones, but data is not stored in memory. This is useful for manually identifying anomaly locations, much as
with a metal detector. It is also useful for checking for proper sensor operation and ambient magnetic
noise.
Select SEARCH MODE from the main menu. You should see a display similar to that below:

you do not confuse it with Simple Survey.
