Quick Start:

To get you master how to operate the metal detector quickly, we suggest that you should read the quick start carefully, and practice indoor. When you are familiar with the detector, you can hunt for the treasures just about anywhere.

1. Prepare with a sort of metal samples
   • an iron nail
   • a pull-tab and a five cents nickel coin
   • a 1 cent zinc coin(after 82 version)
   • a 25 cent silver coin

2. Lay the metal detector properly
   In order to avoid the metals influence the detector, be sure to lay the the metal detector proper! y.
   • Lay the search coil properly, keep the angle between search coil and aluminum stem is about 140°. Please note not to mistake it(Figure.8)
   
   • Please take off the watch, ring or other metal objects on your hand or arm. Keep the detector away from the wall, floor and other metal objects.
   
   • Be sure to keep the detector away from the light, TV, computer and mobile telephone, which can cause electro-magnetic interference.

3. Turn on
   Turn on the power supply.

4. Adjust balance.
   • Press and hold the “Red Button”, and adjust the ‘TUNE” knob, let the meter pointer points “O” position, reless the Red Button. The meter pointer should maintain near the “O”, now the balance has been adjusted. The detector is in the sensitive detection state.(Fig.10).
   
   • Adjust the Volume potentiometer, let you can hear the light hum tone, don’t adjust it too loud.
   • Once you adjust the “DISC” button, you should adjust the balance over again. In general, you should only press the Red Button to let the detector return to the balance state.
   • During operating, if there is no metals around detector, while the meter pointer deviates from the “0”position, you should also adjust the balance over again.

5. Test samples, discriminate ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
   • Set the “DISC” knob to “MIN”. Adjust the balance to let the meter pointer points “0”. Adjust “VOLUME” to let the detector sound a light hum tone.
   • Let the metal samples approach the search coil in turn, pay attention to the meter pointer swing and the voice change.
   • When the iron nail approach the search coil slowly, the meter pointer will deflect to the left, and the sound will turn light. When the iron nail is more closer to the search coil, the meter pointer will deflect to the left more and the sound turns more lighter, until it disappears.(Figure.11)
   
   • Let other nonferrous metals approach the search coil, the meter pointer will deflect to the right, and the sound will turn louder. (Figure.12)
   

6. Discriminate silver
   • Set the “DISC” knob to “MAX”. Adjust the balance to let the meter pointer points “0”and the detector sound a light hum tone.
   • Let the 25 e silver coin approach the search coil slowly, the meter pointer will deflect to the right, and the sound will turn loud. (Figure.13)
   
   • Let other metal samples approach the search coil slowly, the meter pointer will deflect to the left, and the sound will turn light. (Figure.14)
   

7. Discriminate different metals approximately
   We take 5 e nickel coin and pull tab as an example to explain the approximate discrimination method.
   • Set the DISCRIMINATION to about “12:00” position(Figure.15). Adjust the balance to let the detector sound a hum tone, and the show is “0”

• Let the iron nail, 5 e nickel coin and pull tab approach the search coil slowly, the sound tones light, and the meter pointer deflects to the left.
• Let the higher conductivity objects, such as 1 e zinc coin and 25 e silver coin approach the search coil slowly, the sound tones louder, and the meter pointer deflect to the right.
• The “12:00″position is the5 e nickel coin and pull tab discrimination position.
• Rotate the “DISC” knob from “MIN” to “MAX”, you can find the different metals discrimination position. The metals with low conductivity, discrimination position is an ear the left side, and the iron discrimination position is in the most left(MIN).
The metals with high conductivity, discrimination position is arrear the right side, and the silver discrimination position is in the most rights (MAX).

8. Explanation
   • Discriminating metals is based on the change of sound and meter pointer direction.
   The discrimination is preliminary, and it’s only a reference for treasure hunters.
   • When the DISC is in the “MIN” position, the detector sensitivity is the most.

9. Operation outdoors
   By learning, you have learned how to operate the detector. In the wild, as the soil, sea sand, ores and other environmental impacts and the interference of electromagnetic fields, the detector sensitivity and discrimination location will be changed. You should practice time after time and accumulate the experience to master the skill of detect gradually, and you will taste the joy of treasure-hunting.

Field Operation

Metal detector is used outdoors. There is too much metals indoors, and also all kinds of electrical equipments that will bring interference signals, so it’s not fit for using the detector.

Field detection is more complicated, the composition of the b detected regional soil, the component, size, shape and the oxidation degree of the underground metals will all affect the detection results. This chapter is only the general steps of the field detection. The operator should practice time after time and accumulate experience to achieve good results.

1. Tum on
   Rotate the DISC knob to the right side, switch on the power supply. Set the VOLUME to the mid, the detector may sound a tone or may be silent.

2. Adjust balance
   Press and hold the “Red Button”, and adjust the “TUNE” knob, let the meter pointer points to “0”position.Reless the Red Button, the meter pointer should maintain points to “0”position or near the “0” position. Adjust the “VOLUME”, the detector sound a light hum tone, now the balance has been adjusted.
   We remind the operator specially, once you adjust the “DISC” button, you should adjust the balance over again. When the detection environment has a change, you should also adjust the balance over again.
   In general, after the balance being adjusted, and some balance deviation being occurred, you should only press the Red Button to let the detector return to the balance state.

3. Adjust volume
   The detector is based on the direction of meter pointer deflection and change of sound to detect metals, and it’s more sensitive to judge by the sound. After the balance being adjusted, adjusting the volume will get a light hum tone, don’t adjust it too loud.

4. Adjust DISC
   In general, set the “DISC” to “MIN”, the sensitivity is the most at this time. If you find a ferrous metal, the detector tone will tum light, and the meter pointer swing to the left. If you find a nonferrous metal, the detector tone will tum louder, and the meter pointer swing to the right. You should further determine the general type of nonferrous metals by DISC.
   Since the soil will deviate the discrimination position, we suggest you take some samples with you, such as iron nail, pull tab, 5 nicker coin, 25 silver coins. Bury these samples in the detection soil respectively, try detecting and observe the different metals discriminations position. It will help you judge the type of the target, in case you omit the treasures that you want to find.

5. Move the search coil
   When moving the search coil, you should move it at a constant speed, not unsteadily. Let the search coil be parallel with and about 1/2 inch from the surface, not to swing it like a pendulum high and low above the ground.( Figure. I 6, 17)
   
   When finding metal objects, you should move the search coil on the ground according to figure 16, In order to determine the metal position exactly. The nearer the search coil from the object, the more strong the response is.
   

6. Using the earphone
   To the change of sound, using the earphone is more sensitivity, and you will get better detection result.

Caution

1. Before detection every time, you should press Red Button to adjust balance, let the detector be in most sensitive state. But when detecting, you should not press the Red Button.
2. The volume just be adjusted to let you could hear the sound, not adjust it too louder. At this time, the people is the most sensitive to the sound.
3. In areas with heavy traffic, please don’t wear earphone, in case an accident occurs.
4. Always obtain permission before searching any site.
5. Keep away from the region that may bury electrical line, cable line or pipeline, in particular the pipes that are full of flammable gases and liquids.
6. Do no detect in the military area that may bury bombs or gas explosives.
7. When digging out the target, use the reasonable method, do not destroy the vegetation. Leave the land and vegetation as it was after excavation.
8. When using earphone, don’t set it too louder, in case it’ll destroy your hearing.
