Quick-Start Demo
Try this quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your metal detector:
I.
Supplies Needed
a
. a nail.
b
. a nickel.
c
. a gold ring.
c
. a quarter.
II.
Keep the searchcoil
away from
floors, walls,
and metal objects.
One person holds the
detector still, so that
another can sweep
coins under the searchcoil.
III.
To turn detector on, press-and-hold
.
LCD will momentarily illuminate all segments.
IV.
Detecting All Types of Metals
a. Wave each object under the searchcoil. Wave coins flat, parallel to
the searchcoil. Notice the tone is loudest as the object passes
under the searchcoil center.
Notice the different audio tones for each object.
b. Pass each object at varying distances from the searchcoil.
1.)
The sound gets louder as the object moves closer to the
searchcoil.
2.)
The graphic DEPTH INDICATOR as you vary the target distance
from the searchcoil.
3.)
Beyond a certain distance, the object is no longer detected.
V.
Eliminating Some Metals
a. Press
once. The left icon is disabled.
b. Wave the nail under the searchcoil and notice it is no longer
detected.
c. Press
again. The middle icon is disabled.
d. Wave the nickel and gold ring under the searchcoil and notice that
they are no longer detected.
NOTE:
Rings can be composed of a variety of metals. If the ring is
made of gold it will fall into the middle category.
VI.
To turn the detector off, briefly press-and-hold
.
THREE-TONE AUDIO:
The detector emits a low, medium or high tone, depending on the type of metal
detected.
Low Tone:
ferrous metals that illuminate the left target-I.D. category.
Medium Tone:
medium conductivity metals that illuminate the middle target-I.D.
category
High Tone:
high conductivity metals that illuminate the right target-I.D. category
PROPORTIONAL AUDIO:
The speaker volume indicates target strength. The shallower the target (i.e the
closer to the searchcoil), the louder the tone. As you move farther away from
the target, the volume drops. For the deepest targets on the fringe of detection,
the speaker volume can be very faint. The visual target-I.D. icons will illuminate
regardless of the target depth. The speaker volume, along with visual depth
indicator, help you determine a target’s depth before you dig.
Depth Indicator
Coin-sized objects can be detected up to 6 inches deep. The 3-segment
graphic depth indicator is calibrated to coin-sized objects.
The Junior T.I.D. displays target depth with a 3-segment graphic depth
indicator and it is calibrated to coin sized objects.
1 segment:
2 segments:
3 segments:
0-2 inch target depth
2-4 inch target depth
4 or more inch target depth
Objects other than coins will still register on the depth scale, but the depth indication
will be relative. For example, all 3 segments illuminated could indicate a coin at 4
or more inches deep, but could also be a very large object much deeper.
Low Battery Indicator
When battery power reaches a low condition the Low
Battery icon will illuminate
. When it first appears
there is about an hour of battery life remaining. When
battery power is close to failing, the icon will flash
.
At this point batteries should be replaced.
Overload Warning
If a large metal object or highly magnetic soil is too
close to the searchcoil, the detector will “overload”.
The screen will blank and you will see a blinking
“Lift Coil”
message. The detector will also alert
you with a pulsing siren sound. Overload will not
harm the detector, but the detector will not function
under these conditions. If overload occurs, raise
the searchcoil to detect the target from a greater
distance, or move to a different location.
