disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the
corresponding categories.
Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system. Objects
are cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases.
NOTCH MODE
To selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic
spectrum, use the NOTCH Mode.
Technical Note:
The NOTCH touch pad causes the status of an "R" segment to
toggle between ON and OFF.
To use the NOTCH Mode:
The NOTCH touch pad can be depressed at any time. But for
first-time use, place the detector in ALL-METAL mode.
A first demonstration is best accomplished as follows:
1) Turn the power OFF.
2) Turn the power ON.
3) Press NOTCH.
A flashing "R" will appear under the IRON-1 segment.
4) Press the DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad several times.
Notice that the "R" moves upon each press of the
DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad.
5) Press NOTCH again.
The flashing "R" will become permanently illuminated.
If an object has been “notched-out”, you can return it to detection
status. To “un-notch” a category:
1) Press NOTCH.
2) Move the flashing “R” over the permanently illuminated “R”,
using the DISCRIMINATION ▲ or ▼ touch pads.
3) Press NOTCH again.
ZAP
The ZAP control is a convenient way to eliminate a known undesirable
metal object from detection.
To demonstrate the ZAP control:
1) Set the detector in All-Metal Mode
Note: ZAP functions in all motion modes, but is best demonstrated
first from the All-Metal Mode.
2) Pass the search coil over an undesirable object.
