Powering On and Off
Powering On: Press and release the [button 1] while holding the detector away from any metallic objects. You will hear 2 beeps and the [LED 5] will remain on.
Powering Off: Press and hold the [button 1] for half a second until you hear a single beep (or single vibration in Silent Mode), indicating power down.
Changing Settings
The Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk offers three Sensitivity settings and two detection modes: Audio-plus-Vibrate or Vibrate-only (silent).
To enter adjustment mode, press and hold the [button 1] for 2 seconds. This is indicated by a single beep followed by a dual-tone beep and flashing [LED 5]. (Note: In Silent Mode, beeps are replaced by vibration pulses.)
The first button press after entering adjustment mode indicates the current setting. Repeatedly press the [button 1] to cycle through the 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 1] for 2 seconds, indicated by a dual-tone beep (or dual vibrate in Silent Mode), or wait 5 seconds for automatic exit.
Notes and Wireless Operation
Notes
- Lower Sensitivity settings are recommended to prevent detection of highly mineralized grounds.
- Detection remains operable during the adjustment mode.
- Settings will be remembered when the unit is switched off and back on.
Wireless Operation
Reconnecting
Once paired, the pinpointer will instantly reconnect to the last paired receiver. The receiver must be powered on first. The pinpointer's external audio will switch off when paired.
Pairing
This product can be paired wirelessly with any Garrett Z-Lynk receiver using the following steps:
- First, switch on the receiver (e.g., Garrett MS-3 Wireless Headphones or Garrett WR-1 Z-Lynk device).
- Hold the pinpointer within 6 inches (15cm) of the headphone or the WR-1 device.
- Switch the pinpointer on and wait (approximately 3 seconds) for the light on the headphones (or WR-1) to go from blinking to steady.
- If the units do not pair, switch the pinpointer off and then on again.
Note: If you have trouble pairing, ensure the receiver is on first and that the two devices are within six inches of each other. Also, be sure that a previously paired headphone or WR-1 is not powered on in the vicinity (20 to 50 feet).
Pairing Confirmation
Image 1 shows Garrett MS-3 Wireless Headphones and the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk. An arrow points to a solid red light on the headphones, with the text "Solid red light indicates pairing."
Image 2 shows Garrett WR-1 Z-Lynk device, headphones, and the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk. An arrow points to a solid red light on the WR-1 device, with the text "Solid red light indicates pairing."
A solid red light on the MS-3 Wireless Headphones or WR-1 Z-Lynk receiver indicates proper pairing with the pinpointer.
Advanced Operations
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 Z-Lynk to the water, sand, or soil and quick-press the [button 1] for an instant Retune. If necessary, repeat this Fast Retune to further eliminate any environmental response. Note: An alternate means of eliminating the ground response is to reduce Sensitivity.

Precisely Pinpointing Large Targets
Slowly scan toward the object until the response increases to a full/constant alarm. Then quick-press the [button 1] to instantly retune and narrow the detection field. Continue scanning toward the object to find its precise location. Repeat this Fast Retune to further narrow the detection field as needed.
Lost Pinpointer Alarm
After 5 minutes of being ON without a button press, the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk will begin emitting progressively faster warning chirps for 60 minutes. Press the power button to reset.
Additional Features
Auto-Off Feature
After one hour of warning chirps, the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk will power off automatically.
Scraping Blade
This rugged edge is ideal for sifting through dirt while searching for the target. The Pro-Pointer AT's 360°-side-scan detection allows the detector 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 (if desired).
Holster
Secure to any standard size belt. A metal snap within the holster will cause the pinpointer to alarm if put away while powered on.
Ruler
The Pro-Pointer AT has 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
Simply rotate the battery cover counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tighten by hand. To properly install the 9V battery, match the larger battery terminal to the larger opening in the compartment. Remove the battery when the unit is to be stored for more than 30 days. Please dispose of used batteries in accordance with local codes and regulations. Consult your local environmental control or disposal agency for further details.
Operational Information and Tips
- Operation is completely automatic. All metals will be detected, including ferrous and non-ferrous.
- When a target is detected, the Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk will produce an audio and/or vibration alert. The rate of the pulsing audio and vibrations increases proportionately as the pinpointer is moved closer to a metallic target.
- Maximum detection of very small targets is obtained against the side, about 1/2 inch from the tip.
- To avoid cancelling out a target, do not turn on the Pro-Pointer AT while it is adjacent to the target.
- Because the Pro-Pointer AT is 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. It is not intended to be used with excessive force.
Water Use and Cleaning
- For water use, do not exceed 20 feet (6 meters) depth. Make sure the battery cap threads are free of sand, sediment, etc., and that the O-ring is periodically lubricated with silicone grease to maintain a tight seal.
- Radio signals do not transmit through water, so if you will be hunting fully submerged, you must rely upon the Pro-Pointer's vibration and audio alerts without the benefit of headphones.

To remove dried dirt, mud, or other debris from the unit, simply hand wash it with soap, water, and a soft cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive or chemical cleaners which could scratch or erode its surface.
