Have you ever wanted to find treasure buried in the sea or
underground just like they do in the movies? The Atlas Store’s metal detector can
help launch you on your very own treasure hunt! Today we will go over how to
set it up for your treasure hunts.
How do I assemble it?
When you first receive your metal detector, there is some
assembly required, but no tools are needed. First you have to connect the
search coil with the lower stem, which is made of black fiberglass. Make sure
you tighten the bolt when you connect it. Slide the lower stem into the upper
stem and adjust it to a comfortable length. When you are standing up with your
arms to the side, the search coil should be level with the ground. Tighten the
lower stem by rotating counter clockwise. Wind the search coil cable around the
stem that you just assembled and insert the search coil’s plug into the search
coil’s jack. Be careful not to over tighten the search coil. We have mostly
finished assembling the metal detector and just need to assemble the arm
support. We do this by pressing the silver button on the upper end of the stem
and inserting the aluminum end of the support into it. Our metal detector is all assembled and we
just need to insert two batteries into the battery compartment.
How do I use it?
When you first turn on your metal detector, you can choose
between 4 modes, DISC, ALL METAL, NOTCH, AUTO-NOTCH. DISC, NOTCH, and
AUTO-NOTCH are all motion modes where the coil must be in continuous motion or
there will be nothing found. DISC mode allows you to eliminate unwanted objects
from detection among the categories on top of the panel from left to right.
NOTCH mode lets you selectively eliminate one or several metals from the
categories. AUTO-NOTCH automatically eliminates trash metals and only detects
coins and other precious metals. The ALL METAL mode is only for when the metal
detector is not in motion. It emits a sound that gets stronger when the signal
is stronger.
I know how these
modes work, I want to change the settings to better suit my needs, how do I do
that?
You can change the settings in the DISC, NOTCH, and
AUTO-NOTCH modes but not in the ALL METAL mode. To change the sensitivity in
any of these 3 modes, hit the ADJ button and make sure the LCD screen displays
SENS at the bottom right corner. Simply press the “+” button or the “-“ button
to increase or decrease sensitivity.
