While the most  \ndifficult aspects of metal detecting have been automated, it is a sophisticated electronic device which requires an understanding of some basic features and metal detecting concepts.  \nIf you do not have prior experience with a metal detector, we strongly recommend that you:  \n1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event  \nof false signals. Always begin use at a reduced sensitivity level; increase to full sensitivity after you have become familiar with the detector.  \n2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights, especially those with dimmer switches.  \nAlso keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such as floors and walls.  \n3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo (p.7-8) and Basic Operation (p. 9-12).  \n4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.  \nTerminology ............................3  \nAssembly ............................4-5  \nBatteries ...............................6  \nQuick-Start Demo ......................7-8  \nBasic Operation ......................9-12  \nAll Metal .......................... 10  \nDiscrimination ...................... 10  \nNotch ............................ 11  \nZap .............................. 12  \nAudio Target Identification ...............13  \nDepth and Target Display ................. 14  \nSensitivity Adjustment ...................15  \nIn The Field Techniques ...............16-17  \nTroubleshooting ........................18  \nTreasure Hunter’s Code of Ethics ...........19  \nWarranty .............................19  \nAccessories .....................Back Cover  \nTERMINOLOGY  \nThe following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists.  \nELIMINATION  \nReference to a metal being \"eliminated\" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field.  \nDISCRIMINATION  \nWhen the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector \"eliminates\" certain metals, we refer to this as the detector \"discriminating\" among different types of metals. Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal detectors. Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise undesirable objects.  \nRELIC  \nA relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze or precious metals.  \nIRON  \nIron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes, bolts, and nails.  \nSometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers, for instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron; cannon balls, old armaments, and parts of old structures and vehicles can also be composed of iron.  \nFERROUS  \nMetals which are made of, or contain, iron.  \nPINPOINTING  \nPinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object. Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, and can therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.  \nPULL-TABS  \nDiscarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most bothersome trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes and sizes. Pull-tabs can be eliminated from detection, but some other valuable objects can have a magnetic signature similar to pull-tabs, andwill also be eliminated when discriminating out pull-tabs.  \nGROUND BALANCE  \nGround Balancing is the a","cbCaivvy72cZ0Otq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivvy72cZ0Otq","pdf",1311363,"English","# Terminology\n## Elimination\n## Discrimination\n## Relic\n## Iron and Ferrous\n## Pinpointing\n## Pull-Tabs\n## Ground Balance\n# Assembly\n## Adjusting the Stem and Searchcoil\n## Connecting the Cable","[{\"question\":\"Why should the sensitivity be adjusted to a low setting at first?\",\"answer\":\"To reduce false signals.
