• Power On/Off: Use the designated switch on the control box to turn the detector on or off.
• Sensitivity Adjustment: Adjust the sensitivity knob to control the detection depth. Higher sensitivity detects deeper objects but may also pick up more interference.
• Discrimination Control: This function allows you to ignore certain types of metal (e.g., iron) and focus on more valuable targets. Refer to the control panel markings for specific settings.
• Target Indicator: The analog meter on the control box will indicate the strength of the detected signal. A stronger signal suggests a larger or closer object.

• Waterproof Search Coil: The 8-inch search coil is waterproof, allowing for detection in shallow water and humid environments. Ensure the control box is kept dry as it is not waterproof.

• All-Metal Mode: Detects all types of metal without discrimination.
• Multiple Tones Audio: Different audio tones indicate different types of metal.
• Pinpoint Function: Helps to precisely locate the detected object.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the detector with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the search coil is clean, especially after use in wet or muddy conditions.
• Storage: Store the metal detector in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Battery Care: Always use fresh batteries. If the low battery indicator appears, replace all 6 AA batteries promptly to ensure optimal performance.
• Coil Protection: While the search coil is waterproof, avoid submerging the control box. Inspect the coil cable regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
