Functions Demonstrated in Step 5: 1) The motion-based operation and target response sound of Silent
Search Discriminate Mode. 2) How the Discriminate Mode can be used to help determine the types of
metal a target may be. By adjusting the DISC LEVEL control, you can select what metals your detector
will ignore.

CONCLUSION

Well done! You have finished the QuickStart Guide and have operated many of the basic detecting
features of the LOBO SuperTRAQ. You have also been introduced to the ideas of: “All Metal
Operation,” ”No-Motion Pinpointing,” “Silent Search Operation,” “Target Response Sound,” “Threshold
Sound,” “Retuning the Threshold,” “Target Discrimination” and “Target Pinpointing.”

You are almost ready to begin the journey into the art of metal detecting by actually using your detector
to find buried metal. But first a word about air tests.

The air tests in the QuickStart are of limited value. Metal detectors perform differently in air tests than
when actually used “in the field.” Tesoro detectors are specifically designed to deliver the best
performance in the field.

The CONTROLS and TUNING YOUR LOBO SuperTRAQ sections will give you more detailed
information on how to set your detector’s controls for the best results—especially when selecting an
operating mode and using discrimination.

Finally, the only way you can become truly proficient at using your detector to find gold nuggets and
buried treasure is to use it in the field and learn from experience! However, we strongly suggest that you
read this entire manual to become proficient with all of the features as you continue to use your detector.

You have the finest tool available, now all you need is the skill that comes from experience.

To Turn Your Detector OFF

:

Turn The Threshold Control To OFF

Counterclockwise past the “click.”

To Turn Your Detector ON:

Make Sure The Mode Switch Is Set To DISC
Turn The Threshold Control Past OFF

Clockwise past the “click.”

REMEMBER: DO NOT PUT ON YOUR HEADPHONES UNTIL THE AUDIO BATTERY TEST
IS OVER!

OPERATING TECHNIQUES - CONTROLS

The LOBO SuperTRAQ has only five controls, all mounted on the front panel of the housing for
fingertip adjustment. How these controls should be set for peak performance will depend on the search
site conditions, mineral content of the soil and so forth. Use the information in this section as a basis for
setting the controls on your detector. Using your detector in the field will allow you to learn the
detector’s response to various conditions and will guide you in fine tuning the detector’s operating
controls.
