1. ALL Metal Mode: Detects all types of metal. The display will show icons for any metal found. This mode is ideal for general searching when you want to find everything.
2. DISC Mode (Discrimination): Allows you to exclude unwanted metal types by setting a numeric range. This helps filter out junk metals like iron and focus on more valuable targets.
3. NOTCH Mode: Provides freedom to select and reject specific metal types. You can choose up to 6 metal categories to ignore or include based on your preference.
4. JEWELRY Mode: (Operates under selected DISC/NOTCH menu, Non-Direct) Specifically designed to find precious jewelry such as rings, earrings, and necklaces.
5. PP Mode (Pinpointer): Enables precise positioning of detected metals. Once a target is found, switch to PP mode to accurately locate its exact position before digging.

2.4 Adjusting Sensitivity (SENS)

Use the SENS setting to adjust the signal sensitivity. Higher sensitivity can detect smaller or deeper objects but may also pick up more interference. Lower sensitivity reduces interference but might miss smaller targets.

2.5 Using Headphones

Connect the included headphones to the audio jack on the control unit. Headphones provide clearer audio alerts, especially in noisy environments, and help conserve battery life by turning off the internal speaker.

Connect headphones for enhanced audio detection.
