NORMAL MODE
The NORMAL MODE of operation is generally used when
searching for larger objects, such as manhole covers, telephone
pedestals in the snow and valve boxes. The NORMAL MODE,
which is marked in red, is also used for locating smaller, shallower
objects. No adjustments are required in most search areas, and
most small pieces of metallic trash – such as bottle caps, pull tabs
and nails – will be ignored.
1. Hold the search coil 3 feet off the ground and
away from any metal objects.
2. To test the batteries, turn the MODE knob to BAT
and turn the GROUND knob to 5. The meter should
read at least 80. If not, replace the batteries.
3. Turn the MODE knob to NORMAL.
4. Push and release the RETUNE button. You should
now hear a faint hum from the speaker, and the
meter reading about 10. The faint hum you hear is
called the “threshold sound.” You are now ready
to begin your search.
Make sure the
search coil is
always parallel to
the ground while
searching.
