What the lights mean
The high intensity L.E.D. display indicates the
possible category or type of metal currently being
detected.
It is normal for the display to show and hold a
random indication during use, as well as indicating
targets while searching in the All Metal mode. The
L.E.D. display will reset with the TOGGLE pushed
to the Reset position and released but it is not nec-
essary. The L.E.D. display automatically produces
a new indication each time a new target passes near
the loop. Consult the display indication only when
it is accompanied by a smooth repeatable audio
sound.
During heavy interference, if the SENSITIVITY
control is set too high for the conditions, display
accuracy may be reduced. If errors are excessive,
reduce the SENSITIVITY control by turning it
slightly counter clockwise.
Red
This L.E.D. indicates the metal is likely iron or steel
such as nails, steel bottle caps or iron relics. Dig
only if iron/steel is of interest.
Yellow
This L.E.D. indicates the mid range where jewelry
and nickel most often falls. Unfortunately
aluminum and lead also fall into this category. To
successfully find jewelry one must dig nickels,
small to medium aluminum and lead.
Green
This L.E.D. indicates the high end of the scale
where copper and silver coins typically indicate.
Large brass, large aluminum, and other large non-
ferrous (not of iron) metals may also indicate in this
area.
