BATTERY
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery pack conssts of an 11.1V Lthum-Polymer battery
and a chargng crcut. The devce comes wth a 110/220V AC
charger. When fully charged, the battery wll provde
approxmately 25-30 hours of use. The charger wll recharge an
empty battery n approxmately 5-6 hours. You don't need to fully
dscharge the battery before rechargng.
To charge the battery, nsert the power cable jack nto the socket
on the sde of the battery and plug the power cable nto a
110/220 Volt wall outlet. The LED on the charger wll lght up red
whle chargng. When chargng s complete, t wll turn green.
Ths LED wll also lght up green f the charger s plugged nto an
outlet wthout the battery nstalled n t.
To see the battery lfe status, press and hold the ( i) button and
check the battery lfe ndcator. When the battery s full, 3 LEDs
wll lght up. When only a sngle LED s lt, t means that the
battery s almost empty.
► The battery s specfcally desgned for Velox One. Do not use
any other battery.
►You must charge the battery for approxmately 8 hours before
frst use.
►When the battery s fully dscharged, charge t as soon as
possble. If you wll not use the battery for a long tme, charge t
before you store t. The maxmum storage tme should not exceed
30 days. If you wll not use the battery for a longer perod of tme,
charge the battery at least once every 30 days.
►Do not charge the battery at temperatures above 45°C (113°F)
or below 0° C (32°F).

To turn on the devce, rotate the On/O knob to ON. Turn the same knob to OFF poston
when you want to turn o the devce. When the devce s turned on, a melody wll be heard
and approxmately 10 seconds later you wll hear a long beep ndcatng that the devce s
ready to use.
The devce wll provde more depth at on poston. However, to better dscrmnate ferrous
metals, usng the devce n mneral modes and the ron dscrmnaton at maxmum poston
s recommended.
Especally n mneralzed ground target sgnal s negatvely aected by the ''nose'' caused by
ground mneralzaton. Ths stuaton may prevent the detector from gettng a clean sgnal
from the target necessary for metal detecton and accurate dscrmnaton. Ground balancng
s a process through whch the metal detector s able to cancel out the negatve eects
caused by ground mneralzaton.
To ground balance, holdng the search col 5cm. above the ground, sweep t rght and left,
keepng t parallel to the ground and slowly turn the ground balance knob clockwse untl the
nose s gone and the devce s slent. If you cannot ground balance the detector, gradually

SENSITIVITY
For maxmum depth, do not turn the ground balance knob to the rght more than necessary.
Generally speakng, the md-level (between 4-7) oers the most deal and stable detecton
capablty on derent types of ground wthout sacrfcng depth.
As the ground balance goes nto the rght area, the devce wll start losng depth for some
non-ferrous metals except for gold. When the ground balance settng reaches the maxmum
pont the devce wll detect ron and gold but t wll not detect some non-ferrous metals.
If you are searchng on a ground loaded wth mneralzed stones or dps and holes, t s recommended to ground balance over
one of these stones or the holes.
In areas of very hgh mneralzaton, ground balance may not be sucent. In such a case, you may need to use the mneral
search modes (see page 16).
Senstvty settng s used to elmnate nterferences caused by electromagnetc waves n the
surroundng envronment or ground nose. Electromagnetc waves may result from power
lnes n the surroundng envronment or from the operaton of electrcal devces, radars,
wreless rados, and even TVs.
Senstvty s also the depth settng for the devce. Therefore, especally n hgh
mneralzaton, t s recommended that you lower t only f the devce s stll gettng nose
after you adjust all the other settngs (ground balance, ron dscrmnaton and mneral

IRON DISCRIMINATION
IRON SWITCH
In general, when searchng n wet salt water beach sand, the most deal settngs are the maxmum level of the ron dscrmnaton,
ron swtch o and mneral 2 or 3 modes. You can also use these settngs when searchng n wet plowed land wth hgh ron eect.
2) It enables metals contanng ron to produce a low tone and to be dscrmnated more easly. Dscrmnaton starts at about
level 4 - 6. Below ths level, all metals ncludng ron wll produce a non-ferrous (hgh) tone and generally speakng the devce wll
perform at ts maxmum depth. In addton, ron swtch wll not be actve below ths level.
Ths settng s desgned for tough ground condtons and experenced users. For normal
ground condtons or f you do not want to bother wth ths settng t s recommended that
you keep t at the factory settng (FS).
Ths settng has 2 man purposes:
1) Especally n areas of hgh ron mneralzaton and wet beach sand you may not be able to
ground balance the devce. In such a case, you can use ron dscrmnaton. By turnng the ron
dscrmnaton knob to the rght, you can enable the ground eect to be reected as ron and
elmnate t by turnng the ron swtch o.
When you want to avod detectng ferrous metals you can turn the ron swtch o and enable
the devce to elmnate these metals and not produce a warnng tone.
NOTE: Many metals consdered to be trash may not produce a ferrous metal sgnal. For
example, pull tabs may be sensed as a non-ferrous metal by most detectors because ther
sgnal s very smlar to that of gold.

MINERAL MODES
Mineral Modes: If you are searchng on hgh mneralzed ground (extremely salty sol, wet
beach sand, wet plowed land or hghly magnetc ground condtons) you may not be able to
ground balance the devce. In such a case, frst turn the On/O knob to mneral 1. If the devce
s stll gettng nose, turn t to mneral 2 or mneral 3. Ths wll elmnate the nose and false
sgnals caused by mneralzaton. However, you may experence a decrease or fadng n the
sgnal obtaned from certan metals at maxmum depths.
As mentoned before, especally on grounds wth hgh ron content such as wet salt water
beach sand and wet plowed land, t s recommended that you search n mneral 2 or 3 mode,
brng the ron dscrmnaton to maxmum level and turn the ron swtch o.
SIGNAL AUDIO BOOST
Please note that sgnal audo boost should be used on a temporary or as-needed bass because t wll not only boost the
target sgnal audo but t wll also boost the loudness of ground nose and false sgnals. Therefore, t s recommended to keep
the swtch at poston 1 and turn t to poston 2 or 3 only when you want to verfy a weak metal sgnal and then turn t o
agan.
The sgnal audo boost swtch boosts the sound of weak sgnals receved from small or deep
metals makng t easer for you to detect those uncertan targets.
At poston 1, the booster s o. At 2, the sgnal audo wll be hgher and at 3, t wll be heard
at ts maxmum.
In general, when searchng n wet salt water beach sand, the most deal settngs are the maxmum level of the ron dscrmnaton,
ron swtch o and mneral 2 or 3 modes. You can also use these settngs when searchng n wet plowed land wth hgh ron eect.
2) It enables metals contanng ron to produce a low tone and to be dscrmnated more easly. Dscrmnaton starts at about
level 4 - 6. Below ths level, all metals ncludng ron wll produce a non-ferrous (hgh) tone and generally speakng the devce wll
perform at ts maxmum depth. In addton, ron swtch wll not be actve below ths level.

SEARCHING AND METAL DETECTION
5cm
After the settngs are adjusted, you can start searchng by lftng the search
col 5cm. above the ground and sweepng t rght and left, keepng t parallel
to the ground.
The devce operates on the prncple of moton. Ths means that you must
move the search col over the target or the target over the search col, n order
for the devce to see t. In other words, metal detecton s not possble
wthout movng the search col.
To avod mssng smaller and deeper targets, sweep the search col both from rght to left and left to rght over each area you
are scannng, slghtly overlappng the sweeps as you move forward.
When the devce detects metal, t wll produce an audble tone.
The devce has 3 tone audo dscrmnaton. The lower tone s for ferrous metals. For non-ferrous metals and gold, the devce
produces 2 very smlar hgh tones. In case of alloy detecton the devce may produce a hgh-low double-tone sound. In order
to get famlar wth the derent tones of your devce, t s recommended that you practce wth derent types of metals and
dentfy the sounds before you use t out n the feld.
NOTE: Dscrmnaton, just lke n any other metal detector, may not always be 100% accurate. There are many derent factors
aectng dscrmnaton accuracy. All metals based on ther conductvty, shape, orentaton underground, depth and ground
mneralzaton are sensed derently by a detector. Oxdzed metals bured under ground for a long tme such as tnplates and
tns may produce gold lke sgnals.
Followng the experenced metal detector users' rule of thumb "when n doubt, dg" s the rght thng to do.
