Depth indicator. The clear portion of the depth
indicator represents the approximate distance of a
target below the coil. The top of the indicator
represents the position of the coil and the bottom
represents 12 inches (300mm) from the coil. The bar
will be clear if the target is too far from the coil or its
depth cannot be accurately gauged.

LEARN’S TARGET SELECTION
Phase 2: Learning and Saving the target pattern
STEP 7 Wave the search coil several times above the desired
target until the detector learns it by clearing an area on
the screen. Learn needs to ‘see’ the target consistently to
accept it for inclusion. If you have more than one target,
repeat the procedure for each one. In Figure 6.5, two
current high denomination coins have been used.
STEP 8 When you have finished learning the targets, press the
shift button next to the flashing tick.
STEP 9 Press the shift button next to the Save icon to go directly
to the SAVE DISCRIM menu. Press a button next to your
choice of option S1–S6 (for example S1 in Figure 6.6).
This will save the learnt discrimination pattern for future
use.
STEP 10 Press the DETECT shortcut button to return to the
detect screen. SELECT DISCRIM will then use this
saved pattern as the current search pattern.
NOTE For more detail on SAVE DISCRIM, turn to page 80.
