Your Pioneer 202 is an advanced technology metal detector which incorporates
patented microprocessor-controlled technology, designed for a variety of
applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose detecting.
The Pioneer 202 is a motion detector; movement over an object is required in
order for the machine to detect the object and emit a tone. Alternatively, you can
sweep a metal object over a motionless searchcoil.
Before using your Pioneer 202, it is important to read these instructions. This
manual's description of detection concepts and types of metals is necessary to
avoid frustration if you are new to the hobby of metal detecting.
THIS METAL DETECTOR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:
1. ALL METAL DETECTION
All metals will be detected.
2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes
In any of these three detection modes, the detector will emit different
tones, depending upon the type of metal present. The characteristics are
adjustable. Depending on the detector control settings, some metals will
also be eliminated from detection.
DISCRIMINATE:
DISC/NOTCH knob.
NOTCH:
Provides an adjustable rejection "window" to eliminate undesirable
metals from detection. Move the rejection "window" with the
DISC/NOTCH knob.
AUTO NOTCH:
eliminating most pull-tabs and trash items from detection.
CAUTION:
• Do not test the detector by placing coins or metal objects on the floor.
Most floors contain metal, which will cause interference.
• Use 9-VOLT ALKALINE batteries only.
DO NOT USE INDOORS. LIGHTS AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES EMIT
