BATTERY
Place the batteres n the battery
box payng close attenton to the
orentaton of the + and – term-
nals.
AA Alkalne batteres are recommended for the best performance. You may also use
good qualty NMH Rechargeable batteres. Hgh mA batteres provde longer use
compared to low mA batteres.
Fully charged alkalne batteres can last up to 30 hours. Other types and brands of
batteres may der n operatng lfe.

SETTINGS
GENERAL: In ths mode, the devce searches at the maxmum depth. Ths s an all metal
mode that provdes a sngle audo tone wth no metal dscrmnaton. The Iron Audo
button s not actve n ths mode.
MODE 1: The devce dscrmnates metals n ths mode. (Ths mode provdes deeper
searches than MODE 2.) Ths mode produces 3 derent audo tones n response to
derent metals. It provdes 2 smlar sounds for non-ferrous metals and gold and a
deeper sound for ferrous metals.
MODE 2: In ths mode, the devce provdes metal dscrmnaton as well as provdng
the best operaton on beaches and n areas rch n mnerals. Ths s the recommended
settng for the devce when huntng areas rch n ron, mnerals, beach condtons and
felds where the ground settng s not possble.
Senstvty settng s made to prevent nose from the ground or false sgnal sounds
caused by some electromagnetc nterference (electrcal machnes, radar, rado, TV,
electrc lnes etc.) n the envronment. The senstvty settng s also the depth settng.
When senstvty s set to be at the maxmum level, the depth wll ncrease to the max-
mum as well.
SENSITIVITY
Ths settng allows you to set the devce to accept or reject ferrous metal detecton. You
can turn on or o the sounds of these metals. Iron audo s only actve n Modes 1 and 2.
Iron audo can also be used to elmnate false or msleadng sgnals caused by ron mne-
rals n the ground.
IRON AUDIO
Ths button controls the overall sound level of the devce. By enhancng the audo
sgnal t allows the detecton of weak sgnal sounds receved from deeper or smaller
targets. Level 10 s the level where sound s the hghest. Note: as the volume level s
ncreased, the audo produced by false sgnals and ground nose wll also ncrease.
Gradually turnng the volume down from level 10, dmnshes the sound and turns t o
at the lowest settng.
VOLUME
Ths s a settng done to elmnate nose and nterference caused by mnerals n the
ground. Ground settng provdes the devce wth a hgher performance and prevents
t from transmttng false sgnals caused by mnerals n the ground.
GROUND SETTING

10
GROUND SETTING
GROUND SETTING s set to "0" and SENSITIVITY s set to "10". Search s done by lftng
the col to 5 cm from the ground and movng t rght to left n a parallel fashon.
Meanwhle, n order to elmnate ground eects, GROUND SETTING button s turned
from left to rght slowly and released when the sound stops. Your ground settng s
completed.
In case the ground beng searched has a varable nature, you should do the ground
settng n areas where the most ground eect s receved (such as by a rock or hole) n
order to mnmze the ground eect whle searchng.
It should be noted that ground settng levels should not exceed level “7”. At ths level,
the devce provdes the most stable search. Over level “7”, the devce detects ron and
gold but may cause depth loss for some other non-ferrous metals. In ths case, the
ground settng should be repeated by gradually decreasng the senstvty.
In case ground settng cannot be acheved and the devce produces deep sounds when
ron sound s over level 5, ths means the ground beng searched ncludes ron mnerals.
Another case when ground settng cannot be acheved s when the ground s abundant
n mnerals.
In these areas, f the ground settng cannot be stll acheved even f the senstvty s decre-
ased, you should change to Mode 1 or 2 and IRON AUDIO must be set to the mnmum.
NOTE: When there are changes in eects received from the ground or the environ-
ment, sensitivity and ground settings should be repeated.
In order to turn on the devce the on/o swtch should be brought to the desred opera-
tng poston (General, Mode 1 or Mode 2). A short sound wll be heard showng that the
devce s ready to use. You can swtch the devce o by turnng the swtch to the OFF
poston.

SEARCH AND METAL DETECTION
Upon completon of the
settngs, you can start
explorng by lftng the
head 5 cm from the
ground and movng t
rght to left n a parallel
fashon.
5 cm
CF77 s a moton devce and requres slow moton to detect the targets. That’s why t
should be movng to detect metals. As the devce operates on the prncple of automa-
tc reset, t does not detect the metal f you hold t steady over the metal.
Target Target
The devce provdes metals wth sngle sound n the GENERAL MODE and 3 derent
sounds n MODE 1 and Mode 2. You wll note 2 smlar sounds for non-ferrous metals
and gold and a deeper sound for ferrous metals. It s recommended that you test the
devce wth derent metals to be able to recognze the sounds. Ths wll make the
search easer for you n the feld.
Movng the devce both rght to left and left to
rght on the ground wll make t easer to detect
the metals that are dcult to detect.

12
SEARCH AND METAL DETECTION
In case there s stll nterference even after other settngs are done (ground settng, ron
audo), t s necessary to turn the senstvty down. As ths senstvty settng wll aect
depth, t should be done gradually.
Interference Elimination
In case you do not want ferrous metals to be detected, the IRON AUDIO button should
be set to the mnmum. At ths settng the devce does not produce sounds for ferrous
metals durng your search. When ron audo s turned rght, t wll provde a deeper
sound for ferrous metals.
If you are searchng n areas rch n mnerals and would lke to detect ferrous metals, set
the IRON AUDIO to maxmum. Next turn the control to the left untl the ron sound
comng from the ground s no longer heard. Ths process wll elmnate ron mneral
sounds and allow the devce to detect ferrous metals.
Elmnatng ferrous metals
When the target s detected, dg the surface by 3–5 cm and check the sgnal agan. If no
sgnal s receved, the target s n sol removed.
If the target s stll n the ground, cut the secton whch you thnk ncludes the target
usng a sharp tool. Ths prevents the materal from beng scattered around and makes
t easer to fll n the hole after your recovery. Check f the target s n the hole dg. If the
target s not n the hole, place the detector on the ground by mantanng parallel
poston of the head and grasp some sol and move t around the search col. Make sure
you do not have other metal such as a rng, watch, bracelet, etc. on you. Repeat ths
acton untl you fnd the target. Be sure to fll the hole back n as you found t when you
make sure no targets are stll left n the ground.
Digging the target out
As n all metal detectors, the devce may not provde 100% accuracy because
metals send derent sgnals dependng on ther postons, depth, mneral
ntensty, conductvty and shapes. For example, a rusty sheet or can n the
ground may send gold lke sgnals. In these cases, t s best to dg to fnd out.
WARNING!
