4. Explanation of terms Ground balancing: In the ground there are several small minerals with metals attached to them. To prevent that your detector permanently reacts to those minerals, it can perform ground balancing. The detector filters the magnetic field of the ground and is able to ignore it. - Page 8 4. Explanation of terms Target ID (object identification): The Target ID Arc shows segments, each one representing several metal IDs. The number in the middle shows the score of the currently detected object based on its conductivity. The exact number varies depending on the characteristics of the ground, the size of the object, how deep it is buried, etc.

Underwater search The Q30 is waterproof, so you can take it under water up to 5 meters. For underwater search, please note: - If you are searching without the optionally available waterproof headphones, make sure that the headphone jack protection cap on the backside of the control unit is properly closed and activate the vibration by using the volume regulation. - Page 15 9. Operation Pinpointing When you found a promising signal while detecting, you can use the Pinpoint-function to determine the exact position of the object more accurate. To do so, move the coil to a place without a signal and start to press the Pinpoint- button.
