Operating Instructions
The PudiBe Pinpointer offers three detection modes and adjustable sensitivity for various treasure hunting scenarios.
Detection Modes:
- Vibration Mode (Silent): Ideal for discreet searching or noisy environments.
- Audio Mode: Provides audible alerts when metal is detected.
- Vibration and Audio Mode: Combines both alerts for comprehensive feedback.
To switch between modes, short press the power button while the device is on. The device will cycle through the modes in sequence.
Sensitivity Levels:
The pinpointer features three sensitivity levels. The closer the device is to a metallic object, the faster the beeps or vibrations will become. This allows for precise pinpointing of targets.
Using the Pinpointer:
- Turn on the pinpointer and select your desired detection mode.
- Scan the area where a larger metal detector has indicated a target.
- Move the pinpointer slowly over the suspected area. The device will alert you with increasing frequency as you get closer to the metal object.
- The 360° detection area allows for broad scanning, while the pinpoint tip provides precise location.
