TREASER HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS

A few basic rules you should follow while using your detector

•Always get permission before searching any site

•Respect the rights and property of others

•Observe all national, state and local laws when treasure hunting

•Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures. If you are not sure

about an object you have found, contact a museum or historical

society in your area.

•Leave the land and vegetation as is, and fill in any holes you dig.

•Use the detector only in safe areas

•Dispose of any junk you may find, only in approved areas. Do not

leave it for the next treasure hunter find.

PREPARATION

ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR

1. Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Insert the

latch on the top of the handle into the assembly hole on the bottom of the

control box. Then slightly pull the handle in the direction of IN on the handle

to fix the latch in place. Secure the control box by fixing screw properly.

2. Unscrew the knob on the search coil and remove the knob connector.

Insert the stem and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem.

Push the connector through the holes and tighten the knob.

3. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the

cable. Insert the search coil cable plug into the five pin jack on the

front control box’s housing.

4. Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens. Lengthen or shorten so

when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, the search coil is

level with and about 1/2 to 2 inches above the ground with your arm

relaxed at your side. Turn the stem’s lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in

place.

Caution:

•DO NOT force the plug or you could damage it. The search coil’s plug

fits into the connector only one way.

•DO NOT over tighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to

tighten it.

•DO NOT disassemble the stem lock nut. In case you disassemble it

carelessly, place the washer on the top of the stem connected with

the handle with the small

head of the washer

upwards. Then hitch the

stem lock nut on the

washer then tighten it to

lock it in place.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Cautions:

•Use only fresh alkaline batteries of required size.

•Do not mix the old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Small head

1. Slide the POWER button to turn on the power.

2. Slide the left and right battery covers off in the direction of the

arrow.

3. Place a 9V battery into the battery compartment matching the

polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

Caution:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Always remove old or weak batteries; batteries can leak chemicals that

can destroy electronic parts.

•If you do not plan to use the detector for a long time, remove the

batteries.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

USING HEADPHONES

1. Insert the headphone’s 3.5mm plug into the

PHONE jack. The detector’s internal

speaker disconnects when you connect the

headphones.

2. Set the VOLUME to the desired setting.

Listening Safely

•To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting before

you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume

listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

•Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near

high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety.

FUNCTIONS AND INDICATIONS

1. Parts Of The Control Box

2. DISPLAYS

The indicator of target includes target icons and LCD displays and is located

at the top of the detector. It can indicate coins of different type, gold, silver

etc. When the detector detects an object, an arrow appears below the target

icon of probable type of metal being detected. Also displays the depth of the

target. If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If

the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or does not appear.

Note:

•If the detecting pauses for about 5 seconds, the arrow will

disappear.

•If an arrow points to a coin denomination, the detector might be

detecting either a coin or another type of metal (such as jewelry,

tokens, medals, or even junk metal) of similar size and type to the

coin.

•Since the indications are approximations, the detector might not

have actually found the item it indicates. The indicator is only a

visual reference to help you decide if an item is worth perusing.

Iron Foil

Target is probably iron or foil.

Some oxidized iron might register

somewhere within the SILVER

range.

5¢ or Nickel

Target is probably 5¢ or a nickel.

Some small gold rings might

Pull Tab

Target is probably a pull-tab of an

aluminum can. Some small gold

rings might register within this

range and might register within

Pull Tab category.

S-Caps

Target is probably a type of metal

like bottle cap. Some medium

sized gold rings might register

within this category.

GOLD Range

1¢ or Penny

Target might be a zinc penny or a

copper coin. Some large rough

gold items might register within 1¢

category.

SILVER Range

1¢ Penny or

25¢ Quarter

Target is probably silver coin, 25¢

or 1¢. Some large aluminum coin

might register within 1¢ 25¢

category.

TONES

If the detector is set to the ALL METAL target mode, it sounds a single tone

when it detects any type of metal. If you set the detector to the DISC or

NORTCH modes, the built in audio identification system sounds a unique audio

tone for each of three categories of metal. This makes it easier to identify the

metal being detected.

Tone

Detects

Low Tone

Foil, nails, bottle caps and/or nickels

Medium Tone

Pull tabs, zinc and/or copper items

High Tone

Brass and/or silver items

Notes:

•When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode, the detector

sounds a medium or high tone when it detects highly oxidized iron. An

arrow appears in medium or high tone area.

•Depending on the quality, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the

detector to sound a medium tone.

OPERATION

TURNING ON THE DETECTOR

1. Slide the power switch to ON. The unit displays all symbols on the LCD

screen. The detector sounds low, medium, high tones respectively. After

about 2 seconds the detector enters stand-by state.

- At this time the LCD displays ALL METAL and SENS. The value of SENS

on the segment is 5. The range from MIN. to MAX. for DISC/NOTCH is

available.

2. SETTING THE OPERATION MODE

The detector comes with three operating modes ALL METAL, DISC, NOTCH.

You can select the desired mode by relative touch key.

a. ALL METAL—used for detecting any type of metal. When the detector

detects any type of metal, it sounds a tone

b. DISC—used for target discrimination. You can set the target range from MAX

to MIN by pressing DISC/NOTCH and + & - keys. The detector can detect

the metal type indicated on the display. Meanwhile the detector rejects other

metal types without displaying on the screen. For example, press - key, 4

levels on segment from Max to Min is increased. At this time, the detector

can detect S- CAPS, 1¢ and also 25¢, other types of metal are rejected.

c. NOTCH—to ignore the metal type you do not want. You can select the metal

type desired by pressing the + and - keys. The LCD segment will indicate the

selected types of metal. The detector can detect the selected metal type.

TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR

To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before

you use it the first time. You can test the detector indoors and outdoors.

Indoor Testing and Use

1. Slide POWER to ON

2. Set the operating mode.

3. Place the detector on a wooden or plastic

table, then remove any watches, rings, or

metal jewelry you are wearing.
