Instruction Manual Page 1
5. Operation
The SD2100v2 does not have an external speaker. All sound is heard
through the headphones, which plug into the headphone socket in the top
of the battery pack.
5.1 Quick Start Instructions
These instructions can be followed by operators who are familiar with the
workings and general terminology of detectors. If you are new to detecting,
you are advised to proceed to the detailed Operating Instructions in Section
5.2.
a) Switch the Power switch to “On”.
b) Set the Threshold control so that the threshold level is just audible.
c) Move the coil around until interference noise is at its loudest.
With the coil in this position adjust the Tune control to reduce the
interference.
d) Set the Tone control to produce a pitch which suits your hearing.
e) Select Balance 1 with the Search switch and ground balance the
Balance 1 control knob.
f) Select Balance 2 with the Search switch and ground balance the
Balance 2 control knob.
NOTE: Ground balance the detector by listening to the pitch of the tone as
well as its volume. The SD2100v2 will always make the volume increase,
not reduce like other detectors do. The pitch of the threshold will both
increase and decrease.
g) Select the central Search position and start searching.
Minelab recommends that you take the time to read this manual thoroughly
to get the most out of your new SD2100v2.
