4. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Insert the search coil's plug into the search coil jack on the
detector's control housing. Caution: Do not over-tighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to
tighten it. The search coil's plug fits into the connector only in one way. Do not force the plug and also do
not pull on the cable or you could damage it.
5. Stand and stretch your arm, holding the metal detector to make the search coil above the ground for
about 1 to 5 cm. Rotate the stem's lock nut counterclockwise to tighten it.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES: 1. Turn off the power before installing the batteries. 2. Slide the left and
right battery covers off in the direction of the arrow. Place a 9V battery into the battery compartment
matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Never bury or burn them. Cautions: Use only fresh alkaline batteries of required size. Do not mix
the old and new batteries or different types of batteries. If you don't plan to use the unit for a week or
more time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Change
the batteries if the battery indicator on the LCD lights.
USING HEADPHONES: 1. It is recommended to choose the headphones with volume control.
2. Insert the headphones' 3.5mm plug into the PHONE jack. At this time the internal speaker disconnects.
Listening Safely: To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting
Before you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Do not wear
headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTROL PANEL:
1. VOLUME/POWER switch: Rotate volume control away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. PHONE jack: You can insert the headphones' plug of 3.5mm into the PHONE jack and operate without
trouble. At this time the internal speaker is disconnected.
3. LCD DISPLAY
4. CONTROL BUTTONS
SENS: Press MENU to select SENS. Then press + or – to adjust the level of sensitivity. The level will be
displayed on the LCD.
DISC numeric range (0-80): Press DISC then + or – to select the desired DISC number. If the target
material is beyond the DISC range, it can't be discriminated. Note: The highest DISC numeric setting is 80.
If you set the DISC number to 80, all targets less than this number will not be detected.
NOTCH: Press NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be notched. The cursor above the selected target
will flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will disappear.
OPERATION: 1. TURNING ON THE DETECTOR: Rotate volume control away from OFF to power on the
detector. After about 2 seconds the detector enters into stand-by state. At this time the default mode is
DISC. LCD displays DISC of 00 and SENS of 6 bars.
2. TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR: To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should
test it before you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors and
outdoors.
INDOOR TESTING AND USE
1. Rotate the volume control away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. Setting the operating mode: ((1) DISC: Press DISC, then + or – to set the DISC numeric value. If the
DISC value is set to 00, the detector can detect all metals. If you want to find one of the target material
listed on the LCD, you can set the relative numeric range of DISC by pressing DISC then + or -. For
example, the numeric range for 5¢ is 6-17, you can simply press DISC, then set the DISC number to 7 or
10 by pressing + or -. If the detector finds a coin of 5¢, the cursor above 5¢ will light.

Note: 1. It is recommended to select the lower or medium value of the numeric range. Because if you select
a top value, you might miss the target below the selected value. 2. If you don't press the buttons (DISC,+,-)
within about 2 seconds, the detector will enter the standby state.
(2) NOTCH: Press MENU to select NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be notched. The cursor above
the selected target will flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will disappear. It means
this target will be notched during the detection and the detector will have no reaction to the notched
target. If you want to pick up the target notched, simply press NOTCH again. Press + or -, the cursor will
move from left or right. If NOTCH is not pressed within about 3 seconds, the detector will enter standby
state.
Note: 1. It is not recommended to notch all targets listed on the LCD. Because if you notch everything, you
can't find anything. 2. If you want to select the setting of DISC or SENS after pressing NOTCH, you have to
wait for about 3 seconds until the cursor above the target goes out. 3. Press MENU to select SENS, then
press + or – to set the sensitivity. The default level is of 6 bars. 4. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic
table, then remove any watches, rings, or metal jewelry you are wearing. 5. Adjust the search coil so the flat
part points towards the ceiling. Note: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings
have metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with the objects you're testing or mask the signal
completely. 6. Slowly sweep a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a
coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search coil. When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a
tone and the cursor above the target name will light. Also LCD displays the numeric value of target as well
as the signal strength of it. Please note that the signal strength is only a reference.
Note: If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold it so a flat side is parallel with
the flat side of the search coil. A sweep with the side of coin over search coil might cause false indication
and unstable display of target.
TARGET INDICATIONS: 1. Numeric ranges of target: IRON:00-05 / 5¢:06-17 / P-TAB: 18-26
ZN: 27-38 / 1¢:39-62 / 25¢: 63-99
Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified for certain until unearthed. This
table is for general reference only.
2. Types of target: IRON: It indicates that the target is probably iron. 5¢: It indicates that the target is
probably 5¢ or a nickel. Some small gold rings might register within this range. P-TAB: It indicates that the
target is probably a pull tab of an aluminum can. Some small gold rings might register within this range.
1¢: It is indicated that the target is probably a coin of 1¢ or type of metal of zinc alloy. Some medium sized
gold rings might register within this category.
10¢: It indicates that the target might be a coin of 10¢. Some large rough gold items might register within
this category. 25¢: It indicates that the target is probably 25¢ or a silver coin.
3. Tones: The detector comes with three tones for different types of metal. But the built in audio
identification system sounds a unique tone for each of three categories of metal. This makes it easier
to identify the metal being detected. A low tone is for IRON, 5¢, same as for foil, bottle cap or nickels.
A medium tone is for P-TAB, ZN, 1¢(aluminum pull tabs, zinc or copper items). A high tone is for 25¢,
same as for brass or silver items.
Notes: When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode, the detector sounds a medium or high tone when
it detects highly oxidized iron. - Depending on the purity, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector
to sound a medium tone.
OUTDOOR TESTING AND USE
1. Rotate the volume switch away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. Follow the steps of 2 described in section of Indoor Testing and Use to set the operating mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
