Detector is for outdoor use appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with yourdetector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down andkeep the searchcoil away from appliances such as microwaves, computers andtelevisions. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can 9-volt ALKALINE batteries not use Heavy Duty not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signalsAlways begin use at reduced to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector s Facts to Knowabout your Metal Detector.

The Tracker IV will detect inextreme ground conditions,ranging from salt (for beachhunting) to black sand (forgold prospecting), with nooperator adjustments to thecircuitry and with no loss ofsensitivity.

9 ALL METAL: (Toggle Switch in the Middle)In this mode, alldifferent types of metal will be detected such as: iron, steel,aluminum, brass, silver, copper and gold. Applications: RelicHunting, Gold Prospecting, Cache Hunting and general applicationssuch as property marker locating. This mode provides maximumdepth detection DISCRIMINATE: (Toggle Switch to the Left)When using theFull Discriminator, most trash items will be automatically the DISCRIMINATE control higher to increase the range ofdiscrimination. TONE DISCRIMINATE:(Toggle Switch to the Right)When usingthe Tone Discriminator, a unique dual tone beep and automatic ironrejection makes finding treasure fun and easy.

10 It's also possible toachieve a broken tone for certain pull-tabs by adjusting yourDiscriminate control to the approximate center position (12:00).With the two-tone discrimination, along with a broken tone forpull-tabs, you will be able to identify types of buried metalsaccording to the audio tones emitted.
