The Meter:
The Meter is used to test the battery strength, and provides a visual indication of a metal by detecting
positively (to the right). The meter and the sound "beep" work simultaneously to provide an indication of
metal.
Fifteen Inch Loop:
The optional (accessory) fifteen inch loop increases detection depth regarding physically large targets. Lit-
tle or no increase in detection depth may be noted on small (coin sized) targets. The increase in detection
depth applies only to physically large metal items, or a large group of small targets (jar of coins). Tuning
and use of the fifteen inch loop is identical to use of the smaller loop size. Sweeping the loop a little slower
is suggested when the larger loop is used. If you have trouble with the added weight of the fifteen inch
loop you may consider Whiteʼs Hipmount Conversion Kit, or contact your Dealer for other handle support
options.
Headphones:
The optional (accessory) headphones are recommended for use with the Sierra Madre. Headphones will
increase battery life, reduce distractions, and allow better hearing of the signals produced by metals, Most
often headphones have separate volume controls for each ear, and a stereo/mono switch. Check that each is
in the correct position so that sound is heard from both ears.
