In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the probable depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the large numeric indicator in the center of the display. All detected objects will cause the depth indicator to illuminate.

BASIC OPERATION (continued) ITD The ITD control is a convenient way to eliminate a known undesirable metal object from detection. To demonstrate the ITD control: 1) Set the detector in All-Metal Mode Note: ITD functions in all modes, but is best demonstrated first from the All-Metal Mode. 2) Pass the search coil over an undesirable object. 3) Notice the Target Indication Note: You can only ITD objects that register under the five left-most segments (from Iron to Zinc). 4) Press ITD.

Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects. This audio feedback system first alerts the user to the presence and classification of objects, whose nature and location can be confi

A hobby metal detector is an e x t remely sensitive device; the search coil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probably detecting another electromagnetic field. Common sources of EMI are elect

ELIMINATION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field. DISCRIMINATION When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer t
