When your CZ-3D is properly “ground balanced,” it will have only

a minimum response to ground mineralization. Precise adjustment

of the ground control is critical. The higher the degree of ground

mineralization or sensitivity setting, the more critical it is. Once you

adjust it in either the Autotune mode or Target ID mode, you can

switch back and forth between the two modes without resetting

it, unless you increase the sensitivity level or go from dry sand

to wet sand or vice versa. You should also recheck your setting

occasionally as you search since ground conditions often change

rapidly.

If you have difficulty ground balancing, try reducing your sensitivity

level or moving to another spot just in case you are over a buried

piece of metal. In some areas of high ground mineralization you may

not be able to use the “pushbutton” method.

1. Set your controls as follows:

GROUND = 10

DISC = 0 for normal use in target ID mode. (Set DISC

to “Auto tune” for deep search, all-metal Auto tune

mode.

SENSITIVITY = 10

MODE =ENHANCE

VOLUME = OFF

2. Hold the search coil waist high, away from any nearby

metal.

3. Turn the VOLUME control to 10. A brief bell tone is

normal when you turn the VOLUME control on.

If you’re in the Auto tune Mode, you’ll hear an audio

“threshold” hum. Lower the SENSITIVITY control until

you can just barely hear it.

4. If you’re wearing headphones, reduce the headphone

volume controls to a comfortable level when the search

coil is passed over a large, shallow target.
