BASIC OPERATION
4) Press ZAP. An "R" appears under the segment to be eliminated.
5) Pass the searchcoil over the same object again.
The undesirable object is eliminated from detection
The ZAP control is easy to use in the field. As you are detecting, and
encounter an object which you wish to eliminate from detection, simply
press the ZAP touch pad after detecting the object.
The ZAP control eliminates the most-recently detected object category from
detection. The category eliminated is indicated with an "R".
PINPOINT MODE
Since long-buried objects can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, the
process of finding the exact location of a small object, such as a coin, can be
time-consuming and frustrating. Objects buried many inches deep present
an especially daunting challenge. In addition, during the unearthing process,
care must be taken not to damage valuable relics. The best solution to these
problems is the no-motion PINPOINT mode.
At any time during operation, press the PINPOINT touch pad, and the detector
enters the no-motion mode. In the PINPOINT mode, any object in the coil’s
detection field will induce a monotone hum. The location of a coin-sized object
can be discerned with pinpoint accuracy as it will induce a tone only when it
falls within the inner circle of the searchcoil. Pass the coil slowly over and
around the target zone, and you will quickly see the target’s exact location.
Be sure that the detector is properly GROUND BALANCED before using the
PINPOINT MODE. See page 20 for manual ground balancing instructions.
Also, consult page 22 for proper no-motion field techniques.
The Target Identification and Target
Depth indicators are disabled in this
mode. To discern the identification
and depth of an object, you must use
one of the motion modes of operation.
HEADPHONE JACK
Using headphones (not included)
improves battery life, and prevents the
sounds from annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle
changes in the sound more clearly,
particularly if searching in a noisy
location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other
dangers are present. This device is to
be used with interconnecting
cables/headphone cables shorter than
three meters.
