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

The Q40 come with ground balancing(G.B.) function. We recommend
G.B. every time you change the detecting area. Please press and hold
the square button and pump the coil from 6”/15cm height to 1” from
the ground. When you do not hear the sound is not been pulled from
the ground or pushed to the ground, the G.B. is finished.
The ground mineralization condition is indicated by the round bar with
Fe%. The G.C. with two digit indicate the Ground Canceling level. If
you can not G.B. at high mineralization ground you can use G.C.
function on the MENU to set manually.
GROUND BALANCING
HOLD&PUMP

Level-up
Metal detectors calculate the metal I.D. through the
conductivity of metal. Higher conductivity ones shows
higher digit on the screen such as silver. Lower digit
such as iron is listed under 25. Users can select or de-
select some metal I.D. to discriminate undesired metal
objects.
After power on, click on M button once and the bar
under digit gauge is flashing, use up/down triangle
buttons to select bars, press M to select/de-select the
bar. Once finish, press PINPOINT to return to working
condition.
