TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are the common terminology among
metal detector.
Motion Mode
This is one of the operation modes in the metal detector technology. It means you have to
move the search coil to find your target. In general, motion mode can reduce the effect of the soil
mineralization, and will have better discrimination ability.
Non-motion Mode
This is the other operation mode in the metal detector technology. When searching, you
needn’t move the search coil continuously, as long as the search coil approaches the metal to a
certain distance, you would achieve the detection. In the non-motion mode, the detector can’t
discriminate the metal types.
Elimination
To eliminate a particular metal is the set of the operator. During searching, when the specified
metal passes through the search coil, the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator.
Discrimination
When the detector emits different tones or gives different indications to different types of
metals, and when the detector “eliminates”certain metals, we refer to this as the detector
“discriminating”among different types of metals. Discrimination is an important feature of
professional metal detectors.
Iron
Iron is a common metal; it’s usually not the detection target. Example of undesirable iron

2
objects are iron nail, bolts, old cans, caps and so on. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron,
such as old armaments, old armature and so on.
Ferrous
Metals which are made of, or contain iron.
Trash metals
Caps, pull-tabs, s-caps from beverage containers are the most bothersome trash items for
treasure hunters; you should eliminate them in searching. But some other valuable objects can
have a magnetic signature similar to the above trash metals, and will also be eliminated when
discriminating out trash metals.
Pinpoint
Pinpoint is the process of determining the exact location of a buried metal object. As in the
motion mode, you need to move the search coil continuously when searching; it’s hard to
determine the exact location of the buried metals. Pinpoint mode always works with non-motion
technology. Let the search coil center align the location of the buried metal, to help you detect.
Ground balance
Because the metals bury in the earth, the mineralization in the soil will affect the detection.
The ground balance will eliminate or weaken the shielding effect of the mineralized soil.
The ground balance contains internal ground balance and adjustable ground balance.
Coins depth
The detector referred to the coins depth, generally refers to the depth of the 25￠silver in the
neutral soil or the approximate distance in the air. It’s not an exact depth.

Mode indication cursor: indicate five operation modes; you can make a switch through the
MODE “+”or “–” button.
Target ID pattern: It’s located directly above the LCD screen. It indicates the commonly
found target metals. When detecting a metal target, the target ID cursor (upper scale) will
appear on the search metal patterns or below the words.
Target ID cursor (upper scale): it’s in the shape of .The upper scale consists of nine
graphical segments. When the target ID cursor is lighted, it indicates the probable type of the
detected metal.
The four alarming tones are corresponding with the target ID cursor. See the below table:
Low tone
Low Medium tone
Medium tone
High tone
5￠,
,ZINC
10￠,25￠,50￠,1＄
Note: affected by the soil composition, as the same material metal in different soil, the
position of the target ID cursor will have a change.
Target discrimination cursor (lower scale): It’s in the shape of , nine segments make up
the lower scale, and it indicates the material types of the target objects. In ALL-METAL
mode, the nine segments are all lighted. While in other modes, when a certain target
discrimination cursor is extinguished, that indicates this metal type isn’t in the detection
range, and it means this metal type is eliminated. In the PINPOINT mode, the Target
discrimination cursor turns into the signal strength cursor; it denotes the signal strength that
the detector receives.
Coin depth indication cursor: it contains 2”, 4”, 6” and 8+ inches four segments. It indicates
the approximate depth of the 25￠silver in the neutral soil. It’s only the approximate depth.
The size and composition of the target, the composition of the soil will affect the indication
value.
Sensitivity indication cursor: It’s divided into five segments, when the sensitivity indicator is
all lighted, the sensitivity is the highest. You can adjust the sensitivity by the SENS “+”or
SENS “–” button.
PINPOINT cursor: Press and hold down the pinpoint button, the PINPOINT cursor is lighted,
and the detector comes into NON-MOTION mode, it’s apply to locate the detected object
accurately.
Battery power cursor: Four segments indicate the battery power. When all the cursor is

Power button: press the buttons, the power is on, and press it once more, the power is off.
Mode button: Press the MODE “+”or “–” button, you can choose the five operation modes
circularly.
1. ALL METAL mode
The detector will respond to all kinds of metals, and the DISCRIM button is useless in this
mode.
2. DISCRIM mode
Cooperate with the DISCRIM “+” or “–” button; you can eliminate the metals you don’t want
from left to right orderly. But the four materials 10￠, 25￠, 50￠and 1＄in the right can’t be
eliminated.
3. JEWELRY mode
It can eliminate the iron metal automatically, and will respond to other metals. In this mode,
the DISCRIM button is useless.
4. CUSTOM mode
The operator chooses the eliminated metals arbitrarily. Press DISCRIM“+” or “–” button, let
the upper scale target indication cursor move to the below of the metal pattern that you want to
eliminate. Then press the ELIM button, the corresponding DISCRIM cursor is extinguished on the
lower scale, it means this kind of metal is eliminated. Press the ELIM button once again, the
DISCRIM cursor will be lighted again,
5. COINS mode
It’s used to detect coins. It can eliminate the caps (iron), pull-tabs and s-caps are the three
kinds of the trash metals.

SENS Button: choose in five levels with SENS “+”or “-”button. Boot setting is in the middle
value (the third level).The highest sensitivity is the fifth level, when there is interference
existent; you can adjust the sensitivity lower properly.
DISCRIM Button: in the two modes of CUSTOM and DISCRIM, the operator can choose
the type of “eliminate”metals according to DISCRIM “+”or “-”button.
ELIM Button: in the CUSTOM mode, cooperate with DISCRIM button to eliminate the type
of metals.
PINPOINT Button: press and hold down the “PINPOINT”button, the detector converts into
the non-motion mode, and it no longer has discrimination ability. At this time, the PINPOINT
cursor is lighted, the upper Target ID cursor is useless, and the lower cursor Target
Discrimination cursor turns into signal strength cursor. The more close to the metal target, the
lower strength cursor is lighted more scale, and the sound is louder, you can locate the target
location accurately.
GROUND BALANCE Button: it’s used in the PINPOINT mode. In general, set it RESET. In
the serious soil salinity environment, adjusting the ground balance, when the search coil of
the detector approaches the ground, it will not sound a tone.
