    QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • A Nail • A Quarter • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) • A Nickel II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge. (or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the coil off the ground).
  • Page 6 QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION (continued) VI. Wave the Nail over the Search Coil a. The Nail will not be detected. b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out." VII. Press DISCRIMINATION times. Only the Dime, Quarter and + icons will remain illuminated. VIII. Wave all objects over the Search Coil The Nail, Nickel and Penny will not be detected.

  • Page 7: Control Panel

    CONTROL PANEL The operating controls are as follows: SENSITIVITY These controls change the detector’s sensitivity; higher settings enable detection of deeper targets. At power-up, the detector is pre-set to 75% of maximum sensitivity. At minimum, the sensitivity is 35% of maximum. With each press of the touch pads, the sensitivity level is displayed on the bar graph on the left of the display.

  • Page 8: Pinpoint

    CONTROL PANEL (continued) PINPOINT Press and hold to activate this feature This is a static detection mode; no coil motion over the target is required to detect metal while pinpoint is depressed. This feature is most effective for pinpointing the exact location of small buried objects.

  • Page 9: 4-Tone Audio System

    4-TONE AUDIO SYSTEM While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects.

    1. REDUCE the SENSITIVITY until the chatter stops. 2. Try sweeping it over the ground. If the F2 chatters while held still, or held up in the air, it may be much quieter when sweeping over the ground. SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals caused by severe ground conditions.

  • Page 13: Search Techniques

    SEARCH TECHNIQUES (in DISC Mode) Target Verification After detecting a target, do the following: WRONG 1. Walk around the target in a circle. 2. While circling the target, continue sweeping the searchcoil across the target. 3. Sweep once every 30° or 40° of the circle.

  • Page 14: Target Pinpointing (No Motion)

    TARGET PINPOINTING (no-motion PINPOINT Mode) After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection, press to identify the target’s exact location. This technique can yield more information about the target’s shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate excavation.
