Package Contents

Please verify that all items listed below are included in your package:

• 1 x Handheld Metal Detector (GT110-plus)
• 1 x Belt Bag
• 1 x Anti-loss Chain
• 1 x USB Charge Cable
• 1 x User Manual

Setup

1. Charging the Battery

The GT110-plus comes with a built-in large-capacity lithium battery. Before first use, or when the battery is low, charge the device using the provided USB cable.

1. Connect the small end of the USB charge cable to the charging port on the metal detector.
2. Connect the larger end of the USB cable to a compatible power source, such as a mobile phone charger, portable power bank, laptop, or car charger.
3. Allow the device to charge fully. The charging indicator (if present) will typically change color or turn off when charging is complete.

2. Attaching the Protective Sleeve

The detector includes a wear-resistant protective sleeve made of ABS engineering material. This sleeve enhances durability and convenience, extending the service life of the detector rod.

1. Slide the protective sleeve onto the detector rod until it is securely in place.
2. Ensure the sleeve covers the main body of the detector, leaving the tip and control button accessible.

3. Attaching the Anti-loss Chain and Belt Bag

For secure carrying and to prevent accidental loss, utilize the anti-loss chain and belt bag.

• Attach one end of the anti-loss chain to the detector and the other end to your belt or the belt bag.
• Place the detector in the belt bag for easy access and protection during transport.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button located on the side of the detector to turn it on or off. The LED light will illuminate upon startup.

2. Detection

The GT110-plus offers 360-degree scanning capability and a pinpointing tip for precise target location.

• Sweep the detector over the area you wish to scan.
• When a metal object is detected, the device will emit both audible and vibrating alarms. The intensity of these alarms will increase as the detector gets closer to the target.
• Use the pinpointing tip for accurate localization of the detected object.

3. Sensitivity Adjustment

The detector features adjustable sensitivity levels (Low/Medium/High) to adapt to different detection needs and ground conditions. Refer to the device's controls for specific adjustment methods, typically involving short presses of the power button or a dedicated sensitivity button.

4. LED Lighting

For use in dark environments or at night, the detector is equipped with an LED light. This light activates immediately after startup and can be used without additional lighting equipment, helping to conserve power and prolong usage time.

5. Waterproof Operation

The GT110-plus is IP68 rated, meaning it is fully waterproof up to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters). This allows for detection in wet conditions, shallow water, or during rainy weather.

6. Anti-loss Alert and Auto-off

The device includes an anti-loss alert feature to help prevent misplacement and an auto-off function to conserve battery life when not in use.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After use, especially in wet or dirty conditions, rinse the detector with fresh water. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before rinsing. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Protective Sleeve: Regularly inspect the wear-resistant protective sleeve for damage. Replace it if it becomes excessively worn to maintain optimal protection for the detector rod.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly and store it with a partial charge if not used for extended periods.
• Storage: Store the metal detector in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Connect the device to a power source using the USB cable and check if the charging indicator is active.
• No Detection/Weak Signal:
  • Check the sensitivity level and adjust it to a higher setting if necessary.
  • Ensure the detector is properly swept over the target area.
  • Be aware that highly mineralized ground can affect detection depth and sensitivity.
• False Alarms:
  • Reduce the sensitivity level.
  • Ensure no other electronic devices are causing interference nearby.
• LED Light Not Working: Check if the device is powered on. If the issue persists after charging and powering on, contact support.

User Tips

• Optimize Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity setting based on the environment. Use lower sensitivity in highly mineralized soil or areas with a lot of metallic debris to reduce false signals. Increase sensitivity in clear areas for deeper detection.
• Maximize Battery Life: Utilize the auto-off feature to conserve battery when not actively detecting. For prolonged use, consider carrying a portable power bank for on-the-go charging.
• Effective Pinpointing: Once a target is detected, slow down your sweep and use the pinpointing tip in a cross-hatch pattern to accurately locate the object before digging.
• Night Operation: The built-in LED light is useful for low-light conditions. Remember to turn it off when not needed to save battery.
• Water Use: While the device is waterproof, ensure the charging port cover is sealed tightly before submerging it in water. Always rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater to prevent corrosion.
