False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
Adjusting SENSITIVITY
After you become familiar with how your detector works, it’s
important to fine-tune the sensitivity to get a good effect. Press the
touch button SENS on the panel. Then press UP or Dn to increase
or decrease the sensitivity. The level on the segment will be
displayed from high to low position.
Note:
In order to detect a target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS
to a high position. But do not set the level of SENS to Max position,
or the detector will receive interference and false signal from
broadcast antennas and other electronic lines. The detector will also
have unstable arrow indications and irregular tone indications.
Application Hints
Pinpointing The Target
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier. But it takes
practice. We suggest you practice finding samples on your own
property before you search other locations. Follow these steps to
pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the
search coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of the exact spot on the ground where the
detector beeps.
