PARTS OF THE DETECTOR
PREPARATION
ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
Assembling the detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.
1. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and the
connector. Insert the smaller stem and align the holes on the search coil
bracket and the stem. Push the connector through the holes, then
replace and tighten the knobs.
2. Loosen the stem’s lock nut (connected with the handle) in the direction
of the arrow. Then insert the smaller stem into the big stem connected
with the handle. Turn the stem’s lock nut in the reverse direction of the
arrow to lock it in place.

5
3. Insert the latch on the top of the handle into the assembly hole on the
bottom of the control box. Then slightly push the control box in the
direction of INon thehandle to fix the latch in place.
4. Tighten the fixing screw.
5. Insert the search coil cable plug into the five pin jack on the front
control box’s housing.
6. Lengthen or shorten the stem, so when you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 5~2
inches / 1~5cm above the ground. After that tighten the lock nut.
Caution:
•The search coil cable plug fits into the connector only one way.
DO NOT force the plug or you could damage it.

6
•DO NOTdisassemble the stem lock nut. In case you disassemble it,
place the washer on the top of the stem connected with the handle with
the small head of the washer upwards. Then hitch the stem lock nut on
the washer then tighten it to lock it in place.
ADJUSTING THE SEARCH COIL
Loosen the knobs at the search coil’s end, adjust the search coil to the
desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten
the knobs just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling.
INSTALLING BATTERY
You need two 9V alkaline batteries to power your detector.
1. If the detector is on, turn the power switch (on the control panel) to
POWER OFF.
2. Press on the battery compartment cover and slide the cover off in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Connect the battery with the battery connector taking care of the polarity.
Then put the battery into the compartment.

7
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Always remove old or weak batteries; batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
•If you do not plan to use the detector for a long time, remove the
batteries.
•Dispose of oldbatteries promptlyand properly.
You can extend battery life by using earphones, which require less power
than the built-in speakers.
USING EARPHONES
You can connect a pair of headphones (not supplied) to the detector so you
can listen privately. Using earphones also saves battery power and makes it
easier to identify subtle changes in the sounds you hear, for better detection
results.
To connect earphones to the detector, insert the earphone’s 3.5mm plug into
the EAR jack on the control panel.
Note: The detector’s internal speaker disconnects when you connect
earphones.

LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
•After you begin listening,adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Traffic Safety
DO NOTwear headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic
areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
FUNCTIONS AND INDICATORS
1. Parts Of The Control Box

9
a. DISC – Rotate the control clockwise away from ALL METAL to get
DISC mode. The DISC mode comes with auto ground balance. Rotate
the control slowly and clockwise to eliminate different trash objects.
Rotate the control counter clockwise to the end to get ALL METAL
mode. ALL METAL also comes with auto ground balance. It’s used to
find not only ferrous metal, but also non-ferrous one (see more details
below).
b. SENS – Rotate the control counter clockwise to the end to power off the
unit.
Rotate the control clockwise to power on the unit. Continue rotating it
clockwiseto get higher sensitivity.
c. VOLUME – Rotate the control clockwise to get higher level or to get
lower volume level by rotating it counter clockwise.
d. LOW BAT – Low battery indicator. When LOW BAT indicator lights,
user should replace thebatteries atonce.
e. EAR – 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting headphones.
f. VIEW METER – When unit finds any metal target, the meter pointer
swings to the right.
TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR
This metal detector hastwo operation modes: ALL METAL & DISC.
ALL METAL – is used to find allkindsof metal targets.
DISC – Is used to discriminate the metal type.
Set the operation mode to ALL METAL, DISC to counter clockwise end,
SENS to high position. Then hold the search coil parallel with the ground
about 5~2 inches / 1~5cm above the surface. Sweep the search coil from
side to side in an arcline of 2.75 inches / 7cm motion.
When the detector detects a buried target, it sounds a tone. Make a visual
note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps. Then stop the
search coil directly over this point on the ground. Move the search coil
straight forward away from you and straight back towards you a couple of

10
times.
Meantime slowly rotate the DISC control clockwise away from ALL
METAL until the unit does notsound or sounds short tone. You can identify
what kind of metal is detected according to the setting position of DISC.
A reference for you to know what kind of metal is rejected depending on
the DISC setting.
Setting of DISC Metal Rejected
Near 11:00 Iron
Near 12:00 Nickel coin (5￠), pull tab
Near 13:00 Zinc coin (1￠87 version)
Near 15:00 Copper coin (1￠76 version)
When the DISC control turned all the way to the end, (clockwise) most
metal is rejected except silver (25￠, 50￠and ＄1).
Search Coil Sweeping Hints:
•Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search
coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.
•Sweepslowly hurryingwill cause you to miss targets.
•It’s better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 3
inches motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
Factors That Affect The Detecting
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. It takes practice to get
better detection results. Sometimes the detecting may be restricted by some
factors.
•If there are interference from other instruments or electrical cable, TV or
radio in your searching area, lower the sensitivity, or to change the
current searching area.

•When searching in highly mineralized area, the unit will sound even if
there’s no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity and increase
the height between the search coil and the ground until the false signal
disappears. If necessary, reset the DISC.
•When searching in trash area, it’s better to set the DISC to 11:00 position,
so that the unit can notch most of invaluable metals such as nails and
small trashy iron.
•Move away any metal digging tool when searching.
•Sensitivity level is generally in contradiction with that of the
Discrimination. The higher the sensitivity level is, the worse
discrimination will be. But you can lower the sensitivity to have better
discrimination.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your metal detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so
you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and can cause the detector to work
improperly.
Use the detector only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
causing internal damage to the detector.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear and tear of parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the detector.
