Congratulations on the purchase of
your new F-Pulse Pinpointer.
The F-Pulse was designed to be the best-
performing pinpointing probe on the market,
answering the call from treasure hunters who
demand a robust, modern design and a probe that
maintains high sensitivity in the most demanding
environments.
The F-Pulse is a waterproof, pulse induction
detector. An advanced pulse induction design allows
the F-Pulse to operate in environments where other
pinpointers fall short. Whether in heavily mineralized
soils or saltwater, this pinpointer goes deeper and
guarantees stable operation where competitive
products false or lose sensitivity.
Throw away your 9-volt batteries folks. Welcome
to the 21st century!
F-Pulse is ergonomic and features easy-to-use
one-button operation. t was designed by treasure
hunters to take your treasure hunting performance to
the next level.

e-Tune
f at any time during operation the F-Pulse alarms irregularly
or loses sensitivity, quickly press-and-release the button. This
Rapid Retune will return your pinpointer to stable operation.
Ground-Mineral Calibration
Calibrate the F-Pulse to operate in mineralized ground or
saltwater.
Calibration Procedure:
1. Start with power on.
2. Touch the tip of the probe to the soil, or submerge into the water.
3. Quickly press-and-release the button.
4. Unit responds with a beep confirming calibration is complete.
Interference (Frequency Shifting)
All metal detectors operate at different frequencies. t’s these
different frequencies that make certain detectors better at
detecting certain targets. The F-Pulse is designed to work with
the different frequencies of various detectors, and to enable the
user to calibrate the F-Pulse to a frequency that eliminates (or
minimizes) interference with your detector.
The factory default setting of the F-Pulse may interfere with your
metal detector, causing it or your pinpointer to beep irregularly.
