If the detector emits false non repeatable signals REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY MULTIPLE TARGETS lf you suspect the presence of deeper targets beneath a shallower target reduce the sensitivity to eliminate the detection of the deeper targets in order to properly locate and identify the shallower target 14 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES PINPOINTING Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by X ing the target area 1 Once a buried target is indicated by a good tone response continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern 2 Take visual note of the place on the ground where the beep sounds 3 Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground 4 Now move the coil straight for ward and straight back towards you a couple of times 5 Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the beep sounds 6 If needed X the target at different angles to zero in on the exact spot on the ground at which the beep sounds When pinpointing a target try drawing an X as illustrated over where the tone is induced COIL MOVEMENT When swinging the coil be careful to keep it level with the ground about one inch from the surface Never swing the coil like a pendu lum A NOTE This modern Metal Detector is referred to as a Motion Detector since it can respond to a target only while the searchcoil is being moved
3. Pass the search coil over an undesirable object 3 Notice the Target Indication Note You can only ITD objects that register under the five left most segments from Iron to Zinc 4 Press ITD R appears under the segment to be eliminated 5 Pass the search coil over the same object again The undesirable object is eliminated from detection The ITD control is easy to use in the field As you are detecting and encounter an object which you wish to eliminate from detection simply press the ITD touch pad after detecting the object The ITD control eliminates the most recently detected object category from detection The category eliminated is indicated with an HEADPHONE JACK Using headphones not Supplied with your metal detector makes it easier to identify subtle changes in the threshold levels for better detection results and also reduces drain on the batteries The Titan 2000 XD Metal Detector has a stereo headphone jack located at the rear of the case This device is to be used with interconnecting cables headphone cables shorter than three meters Connector AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION While the LCD Liquid Crystal Display is very accurate in identifying buried Objects the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision Therefore we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects This audio feedback system first

9. FIELD TECHNIQUES continued you may want to dig all targets at first With practice in the field you will learn to better discern the nature of buried objects by the nature of the detector s response You may encounter some false Signals as you proceed False signals occur when the detector beeps but no metal target is present False Signals can be induced by electromagnetic interference oxidation or highly mineralized ground soils If the detector beeps once but does not repeat the signal with several additional sweeps over the same spot there is probably no target present When searching very trashing ground it is best to scan small areas with slow short sweeps You will be Surprised just how much trash metal and foil you will find in some areas The trashiest areas have been frequented by the most people and frequently hold the most promise for finding the most lost valuables Also maintain the search coil positioned just above the surface of the ground without making contact with the ground Making contact with the ground can cause false signals LA 17 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Symptom cause soLuTon Detector chatters or beeps erratically Constant low tone or constant repeating tones LCD does not lock on to one target ID or detector emits multiple tones No power no sounds 18 e Using detector indoors e Using detector near power lines e Using

17. le use for the Sensitivity Control S to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference EMI A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device the search coil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless the unit is probably detecting another electromagnetic field Common sources of EMI are electric power lines both suspended and buried motors and household appliances like computers and microwave ovens Some indoor electronic devices such as dimmer switches used on household lighting produce severe EMI and can cause the detector to beep erratically Other metal detectors also produce their own electromagnetic fields so if detecting with a friend keep two metal detectors at least 20 feet apart If the detector beeps erratically REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by pressing the Sensitivity V Pad on the left of the control panel SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals caused by severe ground conditions While your Titan 2000 XD contains circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring ground minerals 100 of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated Highly magnetic soils found in mountainous and gold prospecting locations can cause the detector to emit tones when metal objects are not present High saline content soils and sands can sometimes cause the detector to false
