Many things such as Power lines,
Electric fences even buildings can
cause Electrical Interference &
Falsing when your detector is in
use and there is no metal under
the coil.
Users can reduce the sensitivity by
pressing on the downward triangle
button directly.Users can increase
sensitivity when searching in low
Interference Situations. It is always
best to maintain sensitivity as high
as is possible to achieve best
depth.

After powering on the detector to scroll through the various
Programs, press and hold the Ground Balance button while at
the same time scrolling with the Triangle buttons to arrive at
the Programs you want. 1 and 2 are left for customize users
own program.
The four preset programs available are:
• Coin Mode. Very stable, medium recovery speed, target for
ancient or modern coins TID range 40 - 99
• Jewelry Mode. Very sensitive, high recovery speed, target
at Gold rings, Jewelry items. TID range 20 - 99
• All Metal Mode. High recovery speed, ZERO discrimination,
good for gold prospecting.TID 0~99
• Beach Mode. Normal sensitivity, low recovery speed, strong
saltwater immunity. TID range 20 - 99

By pressing on the PINPOINT
button(the round button with cross
sign), the detector will enter a non-
motion mode and alarm to target
without moving the coil. Users can
use this function to pinpoint target
with cross action as illustrated.
We strongly recommend to select
the Xpointer for further assistance
during digging to save the time.

The Q40 comes with Ground Balancing (GB) function. We recommend GB
every time you change the detecting area. Make sure you have no metal
targets under the coil while GB.
Press and hold the square button while pumping the coil 6” (15cm) height
to 1” above the ground. While pumping the coil the ground condition will
indicate two numbers, when these settle down and are stable GB is
complete.The ground mineralization condition is indicated by the round bar
with FE%. The GC with two digits indicate the ground cancelling level. If it is
not possible to GB on highly mineralized land you can use the GC function
in the menu to set it manually.

Metal Detectors calculate the metal I.D. through the
conductivity of the metal.Higher conductive metals
such as silver show higher digit on the screen. Lower
conductive such as Iron show lower on the scale usually
under 25.
Users can select or deselect some metal I.D.s to
discriminate out undesired metal objects.
After powering on click on the M button once and the
bar under the digit gauge will flash. Use the Triangle
buttons to scroll through and select bars that you wish
to discriminate out. Once selected press M to select /
deselect to save. Once you have finished press Pinpoint
button to return to a working condition.

Ground Canceling Level. After G.B. process the digit will change automatically
according to the FE%.You can use this option to set manually.
