detector sounds low , medium, high tones respecvely. Aer
about 2 seconds the detector enters into stand-by state. At
this me the default mode is DISC. LCD displays DISC of 00
and SENS of 6 bars.
2. TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you
should test it before you use it the first me. You can test the
detector indoors and
outdoors.
INDOOR TESTING AND USE
1. Rotate the VOLUME switch clockwise away from OFF to
power on the detector.
2. Seng the operang mode:
(1) DISC: Press DISC, then + or – to set the DISC numeric
value. If the DISC value is set to 00, the detector can
detect all metals. If you want to find one of the target
material listed on the LCD, you can set the relave
numeric range of DISC by pressing DISC then + or -. For
example, the numeric range for 5¢ is 6-17, you can
simply press DISC, then set the DISC number to 7 or 10
by pressing + or -. If the detector finds a coin of 5¢, the
cursor above 5¢ will light.
Note:
1. It is recommended to select the lower or medium
value of the numeric range. Because if you select a
top value, you might miss the target below the
selected value.
2. If you don’t press the buons (DISC,+,-) within
about 2 seconds, the detector will enter the
standby state.
(2) NOTCH: Press NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to

9
be notched. The cursor above the selected target will
flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the
cursor will disappear. It means this target will be notched
during the detecon and the detector will have no
reacon to the notched target. If you want to pick up the
target notched, simply press NOTCH again. Press + or -,
the cursor will move from leand right. If NOTCH is not
pressed within about 3 seconds, the detector will enter
standby state.
Note:
1. It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on
the LCD. Because if you notch everything, you can’t
find anything.
2. If you want to select the seng of DISC or SENS
aer pressing NOTCH, you have to wait for about 3
seconds unl the cursor above the target goes out.
3. Press SENS then + or – to set the sensivity. The default level
is of 6 bars.
Note: If you don’t press the buons (SENS,+,-) within
about 2 seconds, the detector will enter the standby state.
4. Place the detector on a wooden or plasc table, then
remove any watches, rings, or metal jewelry you are
wearing.
5. Adjust the search coil so the flat part points towards the
ceiling.
Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most
buildings have metal of some kind in the floor, which might
interfere with the objects you’re tesng or mask the signal
completely.

10
6. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the
detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) 2-3 inches or
more above the face of the search coil. When the detector
detects any metal, it sounds a tone and the cursor above the
target name will light. Also LCD displays the numeric value of
target as well as the depth (signal strength) of it. Please note
that the depth (signal strength) is only a reference, not the
exact depth of the target.
Note: If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more
easily if you hold it so a flat side is parallel with the flat side of
the search coil. A sweep with the side of coin over search coil
might cause false indicaon and unstable display of target.
TARGET INDICATIONS
1. Numeric ranges of target:
- IRON 00-05
- 5¢ 06-17
-P-TAB 18-26
-ZN 27-38
-1¢ 39-62
-25¢63-99
Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be
idenfied for certain unl unearthed. This table is for general

11
reference only.
2. Types of target
-IRON: It indicates that the target is probably iron.
-5¢: It indicates that the target is probably 5¢ or a nickel.
Some small gold rings might register within this range.
-P-TAB: It indicates that the target is probably a pull tab
of an aluminum can. Some small gold rings might
register within this range.
-ZN: It is indicated that the target is probably a type of
metal of zinc alloy or copper coin. Some medium sized
gold rings might register within this category.
-1¢: It indicates that the target might be a zinc penny.
Some large rough gold items might register within this
category.
-25¢: It indicates that the target is probably 25¢ or a
silver coin.
3. Tones
The detector comes with three tones for different types of
metal. But the built in audio idenficaon system sounds a
unique tone for each of three categories of metal. This
makes it easier to idenfy the metal being detected.
A low tone is for IRON, 5¢, same as for foil, bole cap or
nickels. A medium tone is for P-TAB, ZN, 1¢ (aluminum pull
tabs, zinc or copper items). A high tone is for 25¢, same as
for brass or silver items.
Notes:
When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode,
the detector sounds a medium or high tone when it
detects highly oxidized iron.
Depending on the purity, about 15 percent of gold rings
cause the detector to sound a medium tone.

12
OUTDOOR TESTING AND USE
1. Rotate the VOLUME switch clockwise away from OFF to
power on the detector.
2. Follow the steps of 2 described in secon of Indoor Tesng
and Useto set the operang mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find
(such as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
Note:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector,
mark the area where you place the item, to help you find it later.
Do not place it in tall grass or weeds).
5. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1~2 inches
above the surface, slowly move the search coil over the area
where you placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a
side-to-side moon.
Search coil Sweeping Hints:
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum.
Raising the search coil while sweepingor at the end of a
sweep will cause false readings.
Sweep slowly, hurrying will cause you to miss targets.
It’s beer you sweep the search coil from side to side in an
arc line of 3 inches moon and keep the search coil parallel

13
with the ground
If the detector detects the item, it sounds a tone, and the cursor
above the target name will light. Also LCD displays the numeric
range of target as well as the depth (signal strength).
If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the
mode is set correctly for the type of metal you’re searching for.
Also make sure that you’re moving the search coil correctly.
Notes:
The detector responds with a signal when it detects most
valuable metal objects. If a signal does not repeat aer you
sweep the search coil over the target a few mes, the
target is probably junk metal.
False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical
interference, or large irregular piece of junk metal.
False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
Adjusng SENSITIVITY
Aer you become familiar with how your detector works, it’s
important to fine tune the sensivity to get a good effect.
Press the touch buon SENS on the panel. Then press + or – to
increase or decrease the sensivity. The level will be displayed
on the LCD.
Note:
In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the
SENS to a high posion. But not to set the level of SENS to Max

14
posion, or the detector will receive interference and false
signal from broadcast antenna and other electronic lines. The
detector will have unstable and irregular indicaons.
Pinpoinng The Target
Accurately pinpoinng a target makes digging it up easier. But it
takes pracce. We suggest you pracce finding sample on your
own property before you search other locaons. Follow these
steps to pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a buried target, connue
sweeping the search coil over the target in a narrowing
side-to-side moon.
2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the
detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground.
Then move the search coil straight forward away from you
and straight back towards you a couple of mes.
4. Repeat steps 1~3 at a right angle to the original search line,
Make a mark of “X”. The target will be directly below the “X”
at the point of the beep response.
Factors That Affect The Detecng
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecng result. Somemes
the detecng may be restricted by some factors:
The angle of the target buried in the soil.

15
The depth of the target.
The level of oxidizaon of the target.
The size of the target.
Electro-magnec and electrical interference surrounding
the target.
Inarea of highly mineralized ground or wet sand, the detector
will sound even if there is no metal. Inthis case,you can
lower the sensivity or increase the DISC numeric value.
Meanme enhance the distance betweenthe search coil and
the ground.
Inarea with trashy metal, you can set DISC numeric value to
50. Inthis case most nails and small pieces of ironwill be
eliminated.
Metallic digging tools will also affect the deteconif they are
near the search coil. So it’s beer place them a lile far away.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your metal detector is an example of superior design and
crasmanship. The following suggesons will help you care
for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it
candamage circuit boards and cases and can cause
the detector to work improperly.
Use the detector only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage the cases of the
detector.

16
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can
cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
detector.
