Magnetic Locating

Walk slowly, sweeping the locator back & forth in front of you. If your target is small or very deep, use a higher Gain setting and walk slow, with a slower sweeping motion. Normally a medium setting on the GAIN and a little less than normal walking pace will do fine. NOTE: Any ‘ferrous’ metal objects on your person, such as watches, pocket knives, large belt buckles, cell phones and steeltoed shoes will interfere if the locator is brought to close to them, or is operated on the higher setting.

Upon locating the target using the “Search or Survey” method, you can detect the exact location of a target such as a “PK”, “Mag Nail”, or other steel or iron target by following these steps: 1. Change the GAIN setting to the lowest setting that will still define the target, by using the “GAIN UP” or “Gain Down” button. 2. Bring the locator to a vertical position by simply allowing it to swing vertical, while you hold the unit loosely. 3. Move the locator back & forth in such a fashion as to create an imaginary “X” pattern over the target. 4. Move the center of the imaginary “X” directly over the target by positioning the crossing position of the “X” at the “Peak” of the signal response.

NOTE: Any ‘ferrous’ metal objects on your person, such as watches, pocket knives, large belt buckles, cell phones and steel-toed shoes will interfere if the locator is brought to close to them, or is operated on the higher setting.
