FEATURES
With your Metal Detector, you can hunt for coins, relics, jewelry,
gold, and silver just about anywhere. This metal detector is
versale and easy to use. The detector’s features include:
Two Operaon Modes: ALL METAL, DISC
ALL METAL — lets you search for all kinds of metal with auto
ground balance and high sensivity. It’s the best operaon
mode.
DISC — discriminates what kind of metal being detected.
Volume — to adjust the volume level of speaker and
headphone
Earphone Jack – lets you connect stereo earphones (not
supplied) to the detector in private.
View meter and Pointer – The meter pointer swings to the
right if metal is found.
Water proof Search Coil – lets you search for metal objects
under shallow water.
Note: The search coil is waterproof, but the control housing is
not waterproof.
Adjustable Stem – lets you adjust the detector’s length for
comfortable use.
Note: Your metal detector requires one 9V alkaline baery (not
supplied).

PREPARATION
ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
1. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs
and the connector. Insert the smaller stem and align the
holes on the search coil bracket and the stem. Push the
connector through the holes, then replace and ghten the
knobs.
2. Loosen the stem’s (connected with the handle) lock nut in
the direcon of the arrow. Then insert the smaller stem into
the middle stem. Turn the stem’s lock nut in the reverse
direcon of the arrow to lock it in place.
3. Insert the latch on the S stem into the assembly hole on the
boom of the control box. Then slightly push the control box
in the direcon of IN on the handle to fix the latch in place.

4. Tighten the fixing screw properly.
5. Insert the search coil cable plug into the five pin jack on the
front control box’s housing.
6. Lengthen or shorten the stem, so when you stand upright
with the detector in your hand, the search coil is level with
and about 0.4~2inch above the ground. Aer that, ghten
the lock nut.
Cauon:
The search coil cable plug fits into the connector only one
way. Do not force the plug, or you could damage it.
You don’t need to disassemble the stem lock nut. In case
you disassemble it carelessly, place the washer on the top
of the stem connected with the handle with the small head
of the washer upwards, and then hitch the stem lock nut
on the washer. Finally, ghten it to lock it in place.

ADJUSTING THE SEARCH COIL
Loosen the knobs at the search coil’s end, and then adjust the
search coil to the desired angle (The search coil should be
parallel with the ground.). Tighten the knobs just enough to
keep the search coil from rotang or wobbling.
INSTALLING BATTERY
You need one 9V alkaline baery to power your detector.
Cauons:
Use only fresh baery of the required size and recommended
type.
1. If the detector is on, turn the power off.
2. Press on the baery compartment cover and slide the cover
off in the direcon of the arrow.

3. Connect the baery with the baery connector taking care
of the polarity. Then put the baery into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cauons:
Always remove old or weak baery; baery can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
If you do not plan to use the detector for a week or more,
remove the baery.
Dispose of old baery promptly and properly.
You can extend baery life by using earphones, which require
less power than the built-in speakers.
USING EARPHONES
You can connect a pair of earphones to the detector so you can
listen to it privately. Using earphones also saves baery power
and makes it easier to idenfy subtle changes in the sounds you
hear, for beer detecon results.
To connect earphones to the detector, insert the earphones’
3.5mm plug into the EAR jack on the control panel.
Note: The detector’s internal speaker disconnects when you
connect earphones.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
earphones.
Set the volume to the lowest seng before you begin
listening.

7
Aer you begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over me,
your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that
does not cause discomfort might sll damage your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear earphones while operang your detector near
high-traffic areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels,
they sll can present a traffic hazard.
FUNCTIONS AND INDICATORS
1. A QUICK LOOK AT THE DETECTOR
a. DISC— Rotate the control clockwise away from ALL METAL to
get DISC mode. The DISC mode comes with auto ground
balance. Rotate the control slowly and clockwise to eliminate
different trash objects.

8
Rotate the control counter clockwise to the end to get ALL
METAL mode. All METAL also comes with auto ground
balance. It’s used to find not only ferrous metal, but also
non-ferrous one (see more details below).
b. VOLUME — Rotate the control clockwise to power on the
unit. Rotate it fully counter clockwise to power offthe unit.
c. SENS — Rotate the control clockwise to get higher sensivity.
Rotang it counter clockwise to decrease it.
d. LOW BAT — Low baery indicator. When LOW BAT indicator
lights, user should replace the baeries at once.
e. EAR — It’s a 0.14inch headphone jack for connecng
headphones.
f. View meter — When unit finds any metal target, the meter
pointer swings to the right.
TESTING AND USING THE DECTECTOR
The metal detector has two operaon modes: ALL METAL &
DISC. All metal is used to find all kinds of metal targets. DISC is
used to discriminate the metal type.
In general case, user firstly sets the operaon mode to ALL
METAL, DISC to counter clockwise end, SENS to high posion.
Then hold the search coil parallel with the ground about
0.4~2inch above the surface. Sweep the search coil from side to
side in an arc line of 2.7inch moon.
When the detector detects a buried target, it sounds a tone.
User can make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where
the detector beeps.

9
Then stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground.
Move the search coil straight forward away from you and
straight back towards you a couple of mes. Meanme slowly
rotate the DISC control clockwise away from ALL METAL unl
the unit does not sound or sounds short tone. You can idenfy
what kind of metal is detected according to the seng posion
of DISC.
A reference for you to know what kind of metal is rejected
depending on the DISC seng.
Seng of DISC Metal Rejected.
Near 11:00 Iron
Near 12:00 Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab
Near 13:00 Zinc coin(1¢ 87 version)
Near 15:00 Copper coin (1¢ 76 version)
When the DISC control is set to the clockwise end, most of
metal is rejected, except silver (25¢, 50¢ and 1$).
Factors That Affect The Detecng
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecng result. It needs
pracce to get beer detecon results. Somemes the
detecng may be restricted by some factors.
If there are interference from other instruments or
electrical cable or TV or radio in your searching area, lower
the sensivity, or to change the current searching area.
When searching in highly mineralized area, the unit will
sound even if there’s no metal. In this case, you can lower
the sensivity and increase the height between the search
coil and the ground unl the false signal disappears. If

10
necessary, reset the DISC.
When searching in trash area, it’s beer to set the DISC to
11:00 posion, so that the unit can notch most of
invaluable metals such as nails and small trashy iron.
Move away any metal digging tool when searching.
Sensivity level is generally in contradicon with that of the
Discriminaon. The higher the sensivity level is, the worse
discriminaon will be. But you can lower the sensivity to
have beer discriminaon.
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
can damage 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.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can
cause
premature wear of parts.

11
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.
