Metal Detector: Three modes of GC-1028 Metal Detector

1. ALL METALThis mode is used for detecting all types of metal. To use this mode, press SET twice, then ENTER to get ALL METAL. In this mode, the unit can detect all kinds of metal.
2. DISCThis mode is used for target discrimination. You can set the target range or eliminate the target you don't want by pressing SET and MODE buttons. To use this mode, press SET twice, the blank frame flashes, press UP or DOWN to choose the target you don't want. Then press MODE. You can choose several targets to be eliminated. After that press ENTER to confirm the selected target to be eliminated. To pick up the eliminated items, simply press MODE before pressing ENTER. Or repress SET twice and UP or DOWN to move the flashing frame to the target you want to pick. Then press MODE and ENTER.Note: A crossed frame is for item eliminated.
3. PINPOINTAfter you find a metal object, you can use P/P to pinpoint the target. To use this mode, hold down P/P button. LCD will display P/P and an icon of eye. Slowly move the search coil above the sound area. The detector sounds and the depth indicator on the LCD displays the probable depth of the target. Then release the button. Sweep the search coil again, keeping the same distance of search coil, sound disappears. Hold down P/P again, closer the search coil to the sound area, the detector sounds again. Repeat the above steps until the detector displays the stronger signal where the location of the target is.

Metal Detector: What will affect the detecting of GC-1028

1. The angle of the target buried in the soil.
2. The depth of the target.
3. The level of oxidization of the target.
4. The Size of the target.
5. Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target.
If you detect patiently and correctly and practice more times, you'll get satisfactory result.

Metal Detector: Care & maintenance of metal detector

1. Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the detector to work improperly.
2. Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage the cases of the detector.
3. Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
4. 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.

Metal Detector: How to pinpoint The Target

Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the search coil straight forward away from you and straight back towards you a couple of times.
4. Repeat steps 1~3 at a right angle to the original search line, Make a mark of 'X". The target will be directly below the 'X' at the point of the beep response.

Metal Detector: Four tips for searching coil sweeping hints

1. The detector responds with a signal when it detects most valuable metal objects. If a signal does not repeat after you sweep the search coil over the target a few times, the target is probably junk metal.
2. False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large irregular piece of junk metal.
3. False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
4. In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS to a high position. But not to set the level of SENS to Max position, or the detector will receive interference and false signal from broadcast antenna and other electronic lines. The detector will have unstable arrow and irregular tone indications

Metal Detector: Tesing and using the detector

Indoor Testing and Use
1. Press POWER to power on the detector.
2. Follow the instructions described in OPERATION to set SENSITIVITY, VOLUME and operation mode.
3. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table, then remove any watches, rings, or metal jewelry you are wearing.
4. Adjust the search coil so the flat part points towards the ceiling.
Note:
Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings have metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects you're testing or mask the signal completely
Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Press POWER to power on the detector.
2. Follow the instructions described in OPERATION to set SENSITIVITY, VOLUME and operation mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
Note:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where you place the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds).
Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1~2 inches above the surface, slowly move the search coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to-side motion

Metal Detector: Battery installation and its requirement of GC-1028

Installing batteries
1.Turn off the power before installing the batteries.
2.Slide the left and right battery covers off in the direction of the arrow.
3.Place two 9V batteries into the battery compartment matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
Cautions:
1. Use only fresh alkaline batteries of required size.
2. Do not mix the old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
3. Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Never bury or burn them.
4. If you don't plan to use the unit for a week or more time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Metal Detector: Headphones usage and listening safely tips of GC-1028

Headphones usage
1.Insert the headphones'3.5mm plug into the PHONE jack. At this time the internal speaker disconnects.
2.Set the VOLUME to the desired level.
Listening Safely Tips
1. To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
2. Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety
