Set SENSITIVITY (top right) to white marker (3 o'clock position). METER SWITCH (centre, below meter) a) Push down and hold to indicate battery condition. [. . . ] NOTCH ACCEPT works in the same way except a small band of targets are detected and all others are ignored. Please note the following: i) ii) iii) iv) Always set the NOTCH with the DISC control in ALL METAL. The position at which objects are notched out is not exactly the same as the position at which they are ignored on DISC. Which ever is set highest of DISC and NOTCH has authority, thus NOTCH ACCEPT will not work if the DISC setting is higher. If necessary accurate pinpointing can be achieved by changing to the NON MOTION mode. Diagram 11 Effect of Notch Control Position £1 COIN RING PULL The NOTCH is now set and the DISC control can now be used to achieve the desired combination. It is the skilful combination of these two controls which gives the CS4ZX its versatile ability in most conditions and the following chart gives graphic explanation as to their effective use.

This can give the impression that the detector is not functioning correctly. It is simply remedied by switching to the highlighted REJECT position. OPERATING IN NON MOTION MODE Setting The Ground Control On Inland Sites Prior to searching, the detector must first be set to ignore the signal due to the ground mineralisation. To do this find an area of ground thought to be free of metal objects and check using MOTION mode. Select NON MOTION on the trigger switch (O in diagram 7) and set the GROUND control to position 3 (highlighted). Select GROUND on the METER switch located directly beneath the centre of the meter. Select INLAND on the GROUND switch located next to the GROUND CONTROL. Turn the SENSITIVITY control to maximum (or audio threshold) if using headphones. Position the search head two to three inches above the ground and RETUNE by pulling trigger switch towards your body. If the meter moves to the right followed by a recovery (back to the central position) adjust the GROUND control clockwise about one division. If the meter moves to the left, followed by a recovery to the central position adjust the GROUND control anticlockwise one division. Repeat 5 and 6 using progressively smaller adjustments of the GROUND control each time until no meter movement occurs as the head is raised and lowered. Having done this reduce the SENSITIVITY until the audio threshold is comfortable and select METER DISC on the METER switch. Ensure the head is at the search height and RETUNE on the trigger switch to centralise the meter needle. [. . . ] Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans are the last thing you should throw away. Do yourself and the community a favour by taking the rusty iron and junk you find to the nearest litter bin. If you discover any live ammunition or any lethal objects such as an unexploded bomb or mine, do not touch it. Remember it is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless permission has been obtained 22 from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument Commission for England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and Wales.
