Operation

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 for a half second until you hear a single beep (or single vibration in Silent Mode), indicating power down.

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 (1) for 2 seconds. This is indicated by a single beep followed by a dual-tone beep and flashing LED. (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 to cycle through the 6 available 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 dual vibrate in Silent Mode), or wait 5 seconds for automatic exit.

Notes on Settings

• 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.

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 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. An alternate means of eliminating the ground response is to reduce Sensitivity.

(Diagram description: A Garrett Pro-Pointer AT pinpointer is shown being used in a challenging environment, illustrating the Fast Retune feature for tuning out mineralized ground, saltwater, wet sand, and other difficult conditions.)

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 to further narrow the detection field as needed.

Additional Features and Tips

Lost Pinpointer Alarm

After 5 minutes of being ON without a button press, the Pro-Pointer AT will begin emitting progressively faster warning chirps for 60 minutes. Press the power button to reset.

Auto-Off Feature

After one hour of warning chirps, the Pro-Pointer AT 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.

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 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 ½" from the tip.
• To avoid canceling 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.
• 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.
• 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.
