Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 1.
Insert the batteries by paying attention to +/- polarity.
Rotate the on/off switch located behind the device clockwise to turn on the 

device. This switch also adjusts the volume.
When the device is turned on, it will start in the All Metal mode.  You can 

change the mode based on the area that you are searching. 
To ground balance, push and hold the trigger forward and pump the search 

coil up and down 3cm (1.2'') above the ground until a “beep” sound is heard.
You can increase the sensitivity if needed. Increasing the sensitivity will 

offer you greater depth. However, if the surroundings or the ground cause 

excessive noise in the device, you need to lower the sensitivity setting.
If the device receives a lot of ground noise in the All Metal mode causing a 

disruption in the threshold's stability, you can increase the iSAT value.
If the ground is highly mineralized causing the coil to overload, decrease 

the sensitivity until the ''Saturation'' message disappears from the screen.
Testing with various metals in discrimination modes is useful for getting 

familiar with the sounds produced by the device.
Based on the IDs of the metals you don't want to detect, you can set the ID 

Filter and  ignore those metals. For instance, if you don’t want to detect 

ferrous metals with 20 ID, you can adjust the ID Filter to 21.
You can now start searching.
Since your device operates with the motion principle, swing the search coil 

right and left maintaining 5cm (2") distance above the ground. If the search 

coil does not move, the device will not provide any warning tones even if 

the coil is over a metal target.
When a target is detected, the ID of the target is displayed on the screen 

and the cursor indicates its position in the ID and color scale. The device 

also produces a warning tone based on the search mode selected.
Upon target detection, you can pinpoint the exact location of the target by 

pulling and holding the trigger back.
