Basic Controls

Volume Control / Power

Adjusts the volume level and turns on or off the unit.

Mode

Interchanging the operating mode.

Adjust

+, — ENTER — adjusts the sensitivity, DISC or 

NOTCH range.

Enter

Used to accept or reject the target in NOTCH mode (it 

works with + or -)

Surf Elim

Sets the detector to surface elimination mode.

GND TRAC,GND BAL 

Sets ground balance in ALL METAL mode and 

pinpointing a target. 

Volume Control / Power

Adjusts the volume level and turns on or off the unit.

Basic Operation

Motion and Non-motion Modes

Power On

Turn VOL knob clockwise to turn on the metal detector. The machine runs a self-test 

first: All display segments will illuminate and the detector sounds high -medium and 

low tones respectively. Then stays in DISC mode after 2~3 seconds. 

ALL METAL Mode

A non-motion mode: In this mode, target is detected with the coil motionless over 

it, and the detector emits continuous sound (no need to move the coil from side 

to side). In ALL METAL Mode, adjust GND BAL controller and then press GND 

TRAC several times to eliminate ordinary minerals and ores. The detector sounds a 

medium tone to all targets detected. 

DISC,NOTCH and AUTO-NOTCH 

Modes are motion modes: There are 3 tones to identify different metals in these 

modes. Detector can work in auto-ground balance. Sensitivity is adjustable, while 

GND BAL is not available in these modes. To reject the trash metal, you may adjust 

DISC or NOTCH range. Motion mode means the coil must be in continuous motion, 

otherwise target cannot be detected. 

Four Operating Modes

Interchangeable among 4 operating modes: DISC, ALL METAL, AUTO-NOTCH, 

NOTCH. 

Press MODE touch pad to change the operating modes in following order: 

DISC→ALL METAL→AUTO-NOTCH→NOTCH→DISC. The operating mode displays 

at bottom left corner of the LCD. 

DISC mode

Power on the detector, it enters into the default mode DISC automatically. In this 

mode, the detector can eliminate unwanted objects from the left of the DIS/NOTCH 

range to the right. DISC/NOTCH indicator shows detector’s current discrimination 

range, and an object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at the 

top of the display. SENS shows current sensitivity level. While DEPTH reads out 

the estimated target depth. Each time a target is detected, DEPTH indicator will 

illuminate. DEPTH indicator shows the relative depth of the target, the larger the 

reading is, the farther the target away from the coil. 

Adjusting DISC Range

Press ADJ, the display bar of DISC/NOTCH range will blink. Now you can adjust 

DISC/NOTCH range. Press“+” to increase the range of discrimination, press “-” to 

decrease it.

ALL METAL Mode

Press MODE to enter into ALL METAL mode, the detector now is in non-motion 

mode. In this mode, the detector emits only a monotone sound when it finds a target, 

and DEPTH indicates relative target signal strength. The stronger the signal is, the 

louder the tone is. GND TRAC is used to locate a coin-sized object precisely. To 

move the coil above or near the target area, target will be found soon. Please make 

sure the detector is well ground balanced before using ALL METAL mode. 

(Please refer to Ground Balancing and PINPOINTING in Non-motion  

mode.) Target identification is useless in ALL METAL mode. To see target  

 

identification and depth, please change the detector into relative motion mode.

NOTCH Mode

To selectively eliminate one or several metals from the categories, you can use 

NOTCH mode. DISC/NOTCH indicator shows current target discrimination range,
