3. Terminology
ELIMINATION: An "eliminated" metal does not emit a beep
tone and is not shown in the display.
DISCRIMINATION: The detector emits different tones for
different types of metals, and when the de- tector "eliminates"
certain metals, we refer to this as the detector "discriminating"
among different types of metals. Use this to filter out garbage or
other unwanted items.
HIDDEN FROM DETECTION: An element or a region of an
element within the metal spectrum is left out from detection and
thereby "eliminated".
RELIC: A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its
association with the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can
also be made of bronze or precious metals.
IRON: Iron is rarely a desirable search object because it is a
commonly used, inferior metal.
FERROUS: Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.
PULL-TABS: Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers.

5. Before starting operation
1. This metal detector is only intended for outdoor use. Do not
use the device inside the house. Incor- rect signals can be
caused by electrical interference or metal scrap.
2. If there are any errors, set the sensitivity to the lowest level.
Always begin at a reduced sensitivity level when using. After
you become familiar with the detector, you may try it at full
sensitivity.
3. In areas with a high mineralization, beep tones may sound
even if there is no metal. In this case, lower the sensitivity level
and increase the height between the search coil and the
ground until the wrong signal disappears.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert battery(ies) into the battery compartment. Ensure that
the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

1. Metal category: Shows the detected or
elimin- ated metal type by DISC or NOTCH
mode. Strong signal: The arrow appears
constantly. Weak signal: Arrow flashes or
does not ap- pear
3. Depth indicator: Displays the probable
depth of the target object.
4. Sensitivity indicator: Set the
sensitivity level for detection.
5. Currently active mode 6. Battery status: Shows the current
battery level.
2. DISC/NOTCH MIN/MAX Range
Note:
If detection is interrupted for 5 seconds, the arrow disappears.
When an arrow points to a metal type, the detector may have detected either
a coin or other type of metal (such as jewellery, tokens, medals or even scrap
metal) of similar size and type to the coin.

9. Features
11
Gold Range:
IRON FOIL — indicates that the target is probably iron or foil. Some oxidized
iron might register within the SILVER range.
5¢ (NICKEL) — Indicates the target is probably 5¢ or a nickel. Some small
gold rings can be re- gistered in this range.
PULL TAB — Indicates that the target is probably a pull tab of an aluminum
can. Some small gold rings could also be in found this range.
S-CAPS — indicates that the target is probably a metal bottle cap with whorl.
Some medium sized gold rings might register in this category.
1¢ — indicates that the target could be a penny made of copper or zinc.
Some coarse gold pieces could be registered within this 1¢ category.
Silver Range:
1¢ / 25¢ — indicates that the target is probably a silver coin, 25¢ or 1¢. Some
large aluminum coins could also be registered within the 1¢ 25¢ category.
As these are approximate values, the detector may not have found the object
being displayed. The indicator is only a visual reference that helps you
decide whether an item is worth examining.
Three Operating modes:
» ALL METAL (find all kinds of metal)
» DISC (eliminate unwanted objects from detection)
» NOTCH (selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic
spectrum)

Slide the power switch to the right to turn on the unit. The unit
displays all icons on the LCD screen. The beeps low, medium, high
sound. After approx. 2 seconds, the device switches to standby mode.
Now the LCD display shows ALL METAL and SENS. The value of SENS
on the segment is 5, the range from MIN to MAX for DISC/NOTCH can
now be set.
ALL METAL: Search of metals of any kind. The detector gener-
ates a simple signal tone for any kind of metal. DISC and NOTCH
settings do not work in this mode. To adjust the sensitivity, press
+ to in- crease or - to decrease.

DISC: Sort out the detection of undesirable metals by metal
discrimination. You can set the target range from MAX (Maxi-
mum) to MIN (Minimum) with the DISC/NOTCH and + / - buttons.
The detector can detect the type of metal shown on the display.
Meanwhile, other types of metal are sorted out and not
displayed on the screen.
NOTCH: To ignore metal types, you can hide different types of
metal in this mode. Press + or - to select the desired metal type
(e.g., S-CAPS) to be eliminated.
SENS: Setting the sensitivity
Press + (increase) or - (decrease) to increase or decrease the
sensitivity.

Use the volume wheel to adjust the volume to the desired value.
12. Practice Test
13
1. You need the following items:
a. A nail
b. A 50 cent coin
c. A big silver coin
2. Press the on / off button to turn the unit on.
3. Find an area that is free of metallic objects.
4. Place the three objects on the floor, maintaining sufficient distance
5. Swing the search coil slowly over each object.
6. Try different search modes to filter out unwanted items

13. Exact localization of the object
14. Search coil movement
14
1.Keep the search coil always level with the ground
2.Slowly perform half-circle movements.
3.As soon as a metal is detected, a beep sounds and the metal type is
shown in the display.
4.To ensure proper detection, always perform multiple swings, so that
no objects are overlooked.
An exact localization of the object facilitates the subsequent
excavation work.
1. Always start with a low sensitivity. Increase sensitivity only when you are more
familiar with the device.
2. If the device detects a buried metal object, perform an approaching pivot
movement.
3. Mark the place of discovery.
4. Perform drawing an "X" movement above the place of discovery.

IRON (GOLD RANGE) MEDIUM (GOLD RANGE) SILVER RANGE
Low tone Medium tone High tone
Iron or ferrous objects
will report here (5¢).
Pull-tabs, zinc, small bass
objects, some bottle caps
will report here (S-CAPS, 1¢)
Silver and copper coins,
big brass coins, 25¢, 10¢
(1982 or earlier) and other
precious coins.
15. Beep tones
15
The device has three beep tones which indicate the type of the buried
object. In ALL METAL mode, a single tone will sound. When the detector
is set to DISC or NOTCH mode, the built-in audio identifica- tion system
sounds a unique tone for each of the three metal categories, which
correspond to the cat- egories shown on the LCD display.
16. Depth indicator
1. The Depth Indicator indicates the relative depth of the target. It is
accurate for coin-sized objects. When passing over an object, the
depth indicator will light up and stay illuminated until another object
is scanned. Repeated indication at the same depth level indicates an
accurate target depth.
2. If the depth indication varies with each sweep, try sweeping at
different angles. There may be more than one target present. After
practice, you will learn the difference of accurate readings, multiple
tar- gets, and highly erratic readings.
NOTE: Depth value indication in air is different from that of under the
ground.

17. Headphones
18. Disposal
16
1. The device has a built-in speaker. But it is also possible to
connect headphones (3.5 mm jack) (not included).
2. To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening.
1. Sort packaging into different materials for disposal. Contact the
