4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 SENSOR INFORMATION
The proximity-sensor (1F) is used for automatic switching from Send to Search mode. The sensor detects whether
it is covered or not. This feature also works in darkness.
To prevent accidental switching back to Send mode during the search, Search mode is blocked (SEARCH-LOCK, 2G)
as soon as you take the MICRO out of its carrying system. The MICRO remains in Search mode even if you return it
to the carrying system during probing or digging. To return to send mode, release the SEARCH-LOCK (1C) and
place the unit in the carrying system. See also chapter 4.7 & 4.8.
