Minelab MDS-10 Dual Sensor Detector: Operation and Quick Start Guide
Procedimiento para desplegar el MDS-10
1. Extienda el eje inferior
Extend the lower shaft of the detector. This involves pulling out the telescopic sections and securing them.

2. Despliegue el detector
Unfold the main body of the detector. This typically involves rotating and locking different sections into place.

Coloque la batería
Insert the battery pack into the designated compartment. Ensure it is correctly oriented and secured.
[Diagram: Shows the battery compartment with labels a, b, c, d. A checkmark ✔️ indicates correct insertion. The battery pack is shown being inserted into the detector.]
Inicio rápido
1. Encendido
Press the power button ? to turn on the detector. The device will initialize for approximately 5 seconds. Indicator lights will show the status.
[Diagram: Shows the power button being pressed. A timer indicates ~5 seconds. Indicator lights labeled "MD" show successful power-on with green checkmarks ✔️.]
2. Compensación del equipo para detección de metales
Perform coil compensation for metal detection. Hold the search coil 25-50 mm above the ground and sweep it side-to-side over a target area for approximately 8 seconds. Listen for audio feedback ?.
[Diagram: Shows the search coil held at a specific height. A hand icon ✋ indicates the action. The coil is shown sweeping. A timer shows 8 seconds. Musical notes ? indicate audio feedback.]
3. Pieza de prueba para detección de metales
Use a test piece to verify metal detection functionality. Pass the coil over the test piece. A positive detection is indicated by a checkmark ✔️. A non-target object is indicated by a red cross ❌.
[Diagram: Shows a test piece on the ground. The detector coil passes over it, resulting in a positive detection (✔️). Another diagram shows a test piece with a red cross ❌ (not a target) and a green checkmark ✔️ (target).]
4. Compensación del GPR
Perform Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) compensation. Hold the GPR sensor and move it upwards. Wireless signal icon ? is shown. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds, indicated by audio feedback ?.
[Diagram: Shows a person holding the detector with GPR sensor. Arrows indicate upward movement. A wireless signal icon ? is displayed. A timer shows 2-3 seconds. Musical notes ? indicate audio feedback.]
5. Pieza de prueba del GPR
Use a GPR test piece to verify GPR functionality. Pass the GPR sensor over the test piece to confirm detection.
[Diagram: Shows a GPR test piece on the ground. The GPR sensor is passed over it, showing a positive detection.]
6. Comience a detectar
Begin detecting by sweeping the detector over the ground.
[Diagram: Shows a person sweeping the detector over the ground, indicating general operation.]
Restablecimiento de fábrica
To perform a factory reset, press and hold the power button for approximately 5 seconds. This will reset the device to its default settings.
[Diagram: Shows a clock icon ⏰ with "~5 sec." next to it. Then, a gear icon ⚙️ and musical notes ? are displayed, indicating the reset process.]
