DEPTH SELECT
The detector defaults to
3/4 sensitivity, indicated by
two illuminated segments.
To change the depth range
of the detector, and thus its
sensitivity to more deeply
buried objects, use the
DEPTH SELECT touch pad.
Each touch of DEPTH
SELECT toggles the detector among three different sensitivity settings.
The detector is at maximum depth capability when three depth
segments are illuminated on the right of the display.
At the maximum depth setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized
object buried approximately 6 1/2 inches beneath the surface. With
two depth segments illuminated, the detector’s depth range will be
