THRESHOLD control set to OFF 
Mode switch set to DISC 
Ground selection switch set to NORMAL SOIL
SENSITIVITY control set to min 
DISC LEVEL control set to min 

Step 1 - Perform an Audio Battery

Test Turn the THRESHOLD control just past OFF 

You will hear the battery test tone for a few seconds as the batteries are automatically tested. When the
tone stops, the detector is on and the controls are ready for adjusting. NOTE: You should always perform
the Audio Battery Test with Mode Switch set to DISC to avoid confusing the battery test tone with the
ALL MET “threshold sound.”

Function Demonstrated in Step 1: How the battery test tone will tell you the batteries are working each
time the detector is turned on.

WARNING! The Audio Battery Test Sound is quite LOUD. Do NOT put your headphones on before
turning on the detector in the field.

Step 2 - Adjust the SENSITIVITY control

Turn the SENSITIVITY control from min to 8

This is a good setting to begin with each time you use your detector. Leave the control at this setting for
the rest of the QuickStart.

Function Demonstrated in Step 2: Where to set the SENSITIVITY control for basic metal detector
operation.

Step 3 - Adjust the THRESHOLD control

Flip the MODE switch to ALL MET 

When the threshold control is turned to approximately the “9:00 o'clock” position (just past OFF), there
is no sound from the detector.

Turn the THRESHOLD control clockwise 

As the control gets to approximately the “12:00 o'clock” or “1:00 o'clock” position, you will begin to
hear a slight sound. Turn the control a little further until you hear a clear tone. (Turning the control
completely clockwise will result in a fairly loud noise!) Listen to the continuous, fairly even tone. This is
called the “threshold sound.” You will hear the threshold sound only when operating the detector in All
Metal Mode.

Turn the control back counterclockwise until the sound is barely audible. Leave the control at this setting
for the rest of the QuickStart.

Function Demonstrated in Step 3: How to set the THRESHOLD control for basic All Metal operation.

Step 4 - Perform an air test in All Metal Mode

There are 3 sections in Step 4:

Identify the Target Response 
Retune the Threshold (Auto Tune) 
Use the Pinpoint Feature

Identify the Target Response
