Procedure
Turn
the
instrument
ON.
The
gain
defaults
to
Medium
(M).
Grasp
the
locator
as
illustrated
in
Figure
10.
Because
the
upper
sensor
is
located
near
the
handle
of
the
instrument
(especially
if
it
is
being
used
in
the
collapsed
position),
wristwatches
may
produce
unwanted
changes
in
the
audio
signal
and
in
the
meter
indication.
Therefore,
watches
should
be
removed.
Keep
the
locator
away
from
your
shoes
as
they
may
contain
magnetic
material.
To
obtain
a
maximum
coverage
area,
sweep
the
locator
from
side
to
side.
When
the
locator
comes
within
range
of
an
iron
object,
the
signal
strength
will
peak,
the
frequency
of
the
audio
signal
will
peak,
the
bar
graph
will
expand
in
the
positive
or
negative
direction,
and
the
digital
readout
will
peak.
This
is
shown
in
Figure
11.

NOTE:
The
number
of
bars
shown
in
the
bar
graph,
the
number
displayed
in
the
digital
readout,
and
the
frequency
of
the
audio
signal
will
all
depend
on
the
signal
strength,
which
is
affected
by
the
type
of
iron
object
detected,
its
orientation,
and
the
gain
setting.
