2. Assemble Stem: Connect the lower stem to the middle stem, and then connect the middle stem to the upper stem which houses the control box. Adjust the stem length to a comfortable position for your height.
3. Secure Cables: Route the search coil cable along the stem and secure it with the provided clips or Velcro straps to prevent tangling and false signals. Connect the aviation plug to the control box, ensuring a firm connection.
4. Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the control box. Insert the two PC211 9V rechargeable batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

To power on the detector, press and hold the Power ON/OFF button (6) on the control panel. The LCD display will illuminate. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display turns off.

6.2 Detection Modes

The DD960 offers different detection modes to suit various searching conditions:

• ALL METAL Mode: Detects all types of metal. Ideal for finding all targets or when the target composition is unknown.
• DISC (Discrimination) Mode: Allows you to eliminate unwanted metals (e.g., iron trash) from detection. Use the Increase (9) and Decrease (7) buttons to adjust the discrimination level.

6.3 Sensitivity Adjustment

Sensitivity controls the detector's ability to find small or deep targets. Press the Function Setting button (10) to select sensitivity, then use the Increase (9) and Decrease (7) buttons to adjust. Higher sensitivity increases detection depth but may also increase false signals in mineralized ground or areas with electromagnetic interference.

6.4 Ground Balance

The DD960 features a built-in ground balance function to minimize interference from ground mineralization. This function automatically adjusts to the ground conditions, providing stable operation and accurate detection.

6.5 Pinpoint Function

Once a target is detected, press the Pinpoint button (8) to narrow down its exact location. Move the coil slowly over the target area; the detector will provide a continuous tone and depth indication when centered over the target.
