i) Moving the metal detector when searching for objects
• For best results, follow the steps below to learn how to move the metal detector when searching for objects:
• Move the detection probe slowly in order to ensure that all small objects are detected.
j) Isolating the detected object
Using headphones
The control unit (6) features a loudspeaker (13) and a 3.5 mm headphone socket (14). The audible signals are played
through the loudspeaker unless a headset is connected. The loudspeaker is automatically disabled when a headset
is connected.
When a headset is connected, move the VOLUME dial (10) anticlockwise as far as it will go before
switching on the metal detector to prevent the risk of hearing damage due to an excessive volume!
• Connect your headset to the 3.5 mm headphone socket (14) on the control unit (13).
• The external speaker is automatically disabled. Slowly adjust the volume to a safe level. The audible signals will
only be played through the headset.
Connecting a headset reduces the power consumption and prolongs the battery life. It also makes it easier
to identify the change in volume of the audible signals when a metal is detected.
• Move the detection probe in wavy lines across the target area (see left-hand
diagram).
• Keep the detection probe (1) at a uniform height above the ground (approx. 3-5 cm).
Ideally, the detection probe (1) should always be parallel to the ground. Always
ensure that the search area overlaps (approx. 50 %).
• Never move the detection probe like a pendulum. This changes the distance
between the detection probe and the ground, which affects the detection
accuracy. Only move the detection probe (1) with pendulum movements when
searching in troughs or dips to ensure that the detection probe stays parallel
to the ground.
• Swinging or lifting the detection probe will result in incorrect detection results
(see left-hand diagrams).
• With a little practice, you can identify an object's exact location. If the detection
coil finds a hidden object, hold the detection probe (1) exactly above this
position.
• Move the detection probe (1) forwards and backwards and from side to side in
increasingly small movements. Mark the route accordingly.
• Note where the detector beeps and narrow down the search area systematically
with increasingly small movements. Repeat this procedure at a right angle to
the initial direction of movement. The intersection of both imaginary lines is
the point with the strongest signal. This indicates the location of the detected
object.
