2. Press MENU button 4 times to move down to the NOTCH feature
-then rotate the SETTINGS knob to the right until the number 40 appears.
-then press MENU again to accept this notch value.
3. Notice that a thin line appears across the word “TAB” printed on the top of the display.
4. Press MENU again to exit the NOTCH feature.
5. Targets in the first 1/2 of the TAB range (TAB range is from 36 to 55) will be eliminated
from detection.
6. A half-slash will be permanently displayed across the top-left of the word “TAB.”
NOTCH allows you to select target ranges equal to 1/2 of each category for inclusion or exclusion
from detection. As you rotate the knob, the target indicator will appear above the range currently
selected. If you set the notch value anywhere within the range, the notch value will not necessarily
stop at this number, notch ranges are fixed as follows:
1. 1-7 iron
6. 31-35 nickel
2. 8-15 iron
7.
36-45 tab
3. 16-20 foil
8. 46-55 tab
4. 21-25 foil
9. 56-60 zinc
5. 26-30 nickel
10. 61-65 zinc

1F: MEDIUM-TO-HIGH PITCH TONE varying in proportion to target signal strength. Large
shallow objects will produce a squeal. The variable audio pitch provides you more
information about the detected object, but some people find the sound on strong signals
too annoying.
2F: TWO TONES Similar to 1F, except that iron produces a low-pitched tone regardless of
signal strength. Useful if you want to hear all targets and want to identify iron separately.
3:
THREE DIFFERENT AUDIO TONES Iron produces a low pitch tone. Aluminum trash, zinc
pennies and nickels produce a medium tone. High conductivity coins produce a high tone.
3H: Same as 3, except that nickels produce a high tone.
4:
FOUR DIFFERENT AUDIO TONES This selection is similar to 3, but with a fourth
medium-high tone for targets in the numeric range of 53 to 65.
4H: Same as 4, except that nickels produce a high tone.
dP: DELTA PITCH This setting produces a tone whose pitch varies in relation to the visual ID
number -- the higher the ID, the higher the pitch.
