NOTE
Movement of the coil during the entire Ground Balance procedure should be
slow, continuous and smooth and each down and up movement should take 3 to
4 seconds.
If the Ground Balance OK tone is not heard within 20 seconds of starting the
procedure, release the Ground Balance button and repeat this procedure.
If there is metal in the ground under the coil whilst Ground Balancing, the
detector may not ground balance correctly. Move the detector and repeat the
Ground Balance over ground that is free of any metallic objects.
After the Ground Balance procedure is completed the detector will automatically
cancel interference from the ground under the Coil. If ground conditions change
(changing mineralisation in the ground) this procedure may need to be repeated.

o STEP 3 - Test Piece
Ensure the operator’s hands and arms are free of metallic objects
(watches, rings etc), and that no other metallic objects are near
the coil. The orientation of the Test Piece during the test is
dependent on which Sensitivity Endcap is connected to the
detector.
Black Sensitivity Endcap:
Hold the Test Piece above the middle of the Coil with the
rounded end (containing metallic target) AWAY from the
Coil.
Move the Test Piece towards the centre of the Coil until it
lightly touches the coil then move it sideways off the coil
(the Test Piece should be moved slowly and smoothly
during this procedure). A faint but clear response (change
in Threshold Tone volume and pitch) should be heard
indicating the sensitivity of the detector is correct.
NOTE
Maximum sensitivity is only available 30 seconds after the Threshold Tone is
heard. Do not test the detector with the Test Piece until 30 seconds after the
Threshold Tone is heard.
