Radio Shack 63-3011 - Adjusting DISC;TONE; PINPOINTING A TARGET

12
Notes:
•
SENSITIVITY
also turns the detec-
tor on and off.
• If you set the detector’s sensitivity
too high, the detector might sound
false tones.
Adjusting DISC/TONE
Discrimination is the detector’s ability
to differentiate between types of metal
and either find or ignore them.
DISC/
TONE
adjusts the detector’s discrimi-
nation.
When
DISC/ALL METAL/TONE
is set to
DISC
, adjust
DISC/TONE
so the tab is
pointing straight up and slightly clock-
wise (toward
HIGH)
to set the detector
to ignore items such as bottle caps,
zinc pennies, nickels, small gold items,
and pull tabs, while still detecting items
such as silver and copper coins. Or,
when
DISC/ALL METAL/TONE
is set to
TONE
, adjust
DISC/TONE
counterclock-
wise (toward
LOW
) to find all such
items.
Notes:
• Adjusting
DISC/TONE
has no effect
while
DISC/ALL METAL/TONE
is set
to
ALL METAL
.
• If you set
DISC/ALL METAL/TONE
to
TONE
then set the detector’s
discrimination too high, the detec-
tor will not detect gold items and
nickels.
PINPOINTING A TARGET
Accurately pinpointing a target while
detecting makes digging it up easier.
Accurately pinpointing small metal ob-
jects takes practice. We suggest that
you practice finding and digging up
small metal objects on your own prop-
erty before you search other locations.
Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a bur-
ied target, continue sweeping the
searchcoil over the target in a nar-
rowing side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of the exact
spot on the ground where the
detector beeps.
3. Stop the searchcoil directly over
this spot on the ground. Then
move the searchcoil straight
forward away from you and
straight back toward you a couple
of times.
4. Make a visual note of the exact
spot on the ground where the
detector beeps.
5. If necessary, “X” the target at dif-
ferent angles to zero in on the
exact spot on the ground where
the detector beeps.
