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
