6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Powering On/Off
To power on the device, slide the power switch to the "ON" position. To power off, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
6.2 Selecting Alert Modes
The metal detector offers three distinct alert modes:
- Sound Mode: The device will emit an audible alert when metal is detected. Ideal for noisy environments or when a clear audio signal is preferred.
- Vibration Mode: The device will vibrate when metal is detected. Suitable for silent operation or discreet security checks.
- Combined Mode: The device will both emit sound and vibrate upon metal detection.
Use the mode selection button on the control panel to cycle through these options.

6.3 Adjusting Sensitivity
The detector features adjustable sensitivity to optimize performance for different detection scenarios:
- High Sensitivity: Default mode for detecting small, hidden metals like nails, screws, and jewelry.
- Low Sensitivity: Use this mode to ignore smaller objects (e.g., keys, coins) and focus on larger metal threats (e.g., knives, handguns).
Refer to the control panel for sensitivity adjustment buttons or indicators. Adjusting sensitivity allows for more accurate and efficient inspections.

6.4 Scanning Procedure
Hold the wand by the ergonomic hand grip and sweep it slowly and evenly over the area to be scanned. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface. When metal is detected, the device will activate the selected alert mode (sound, vibration, or both).
