Operation

Powering On and Off

To power on, press and release the power button ▶️ while holding the detector away from metallic objects. You will hear 2 beeps and the LED ? will remain on. To power off, press and hold the power button ▶️ for about one second until you hear a single beep.

Changing Settings

The Pro-Pointer AT offers three Sensitivity settings and two detection modes: Audio-plus-Vibrate or Vibrate-only (silent). To enter adjustment mode, press and hold the button ▶️ for 2 seconds, indicated by a single beep followed by a dual-tone beep and flashing LED ?. Repeatedly pressing the button cycles through 6 settings:

• 1 beep: Minimum Sensitivity, with audio
• 2 beeps: Medium Sensitivity, with audio (Default setting)
• 3 beeps: Maximum Sensitivity, with audio
• 1 vibrate: Minimum Sensitivity/Silent
• 2 vibrate: Medium Sensitivity/Silent
• 3 vibrate: Maximum Sensitivity/Silent

To exit adjustment mode, press and hold the button ▶️ for 2 seconds (indicated by a dual-tone beep) or wait 5 seconds for automatic exit.

Notes on Settings

• Lower Sensitivity settings are recommended for highly mineralized grounds.
• Detection remains operable during adjustment mode.
• Settings are remembered when the unit is switched off and back on.

Fast Retune for Mineralized Ground

To tune out the detection of saltwater, wet sand, or highly mineralized ground, hold the tip of the Pro-Pointer AT to the affected area and quick-press the button ▶️ for an instant retune. This feature quickly tunes out environmental interference. Repeating the process can further eliminate responses. Alternatively, reducing Sensitivity can also help.

Precisely Pinpointing Large Targets

Slowly scan toward the object until the response increases to a full/constant alarm. Then, quick-press the button ▶️ to instantly retune and narrow the detection field. Continue scanning toward the object to find its precise location. Repeat this Fast Retune process to further narrow the detection field as needed.

Safety and Convenience Features

Lost Pinpointer Alarm

After 5 minutes of being ON without a button press, the Pro-Pointer AT will emit progressively faster warning chirps. Press the power button ▶️ to reset this alarm.

Auto-Off Feature

After five minutes of warning chirps, the Pro-Pointer AT will power off automatically.

Scraping Blade

The rugged edge is ideal for sifting through dirt while searching for a target. The Pro-Pointer AT's 360°-side-scan metal detection allows it to alarm when the blade is passed in close proximity to a metallic target.

Lanyard Attachment Clip

Use to attach the Pro-Pointer AT to your belt, digging pouch, or your detector.

Holster

A holster is included, which secures to any standard size belt. A metal snap within the holster will cause the pinpointer to alarm if it is put away while powered on.

Additional Information

Ruler

The Pro-Pointer AT features a ruler molded into its exterior to measure a target's depth in either centimeters or inches.

Low Battery Alarm

When the battery becomes low, the detector will sound an alternating dual-tone alarm. Replace the 9V battery as soon as possible.

Battery Replacement

Rotate the battery cover counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tighten by hand. Battery contacts are keyed to avoid improper installation of the 9V battery. Remove the battery if the Pro-Pointer AT is to be stored for more than 30 days.

Operational Tips

• Operation is completely automatic; all metals (ferrous and non-ferrous) will be detected.
• When a target is detected, the Pro-Pointer AT produces an audio and/or vibration alert. The rate of pulsing audio and vibrations increases proportionately as the pinpointer moves closer to a metallic target.
• To avoid cancelling out a target, do not turn on the Pro-Pointer AT while it is adjacent to the target.
• As a static, non-motion detector, optimum operation is achieved when the unit is switched off between uses.
• Avoid using the Pro-Pointer AT as a digging or prying tool; it is designed for flat side-scanning and precise pinpointing with its tip and is not intended for excessive force.
• For water use, do not exceed 10 feet (3 meters) depth. Ensure battery cap threads are free of sand/sediment and the O-ring is periodically lubricated with silicone grease for a tight seal.
• To remove dried dirt, mud, or debris, hand wash with soap, water, and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners.
