Craftsman 3300 - Manual

5 ASSEMBLY Adjusting the Arm Rest Most people will find the standard positionof the arm rest very comfortable. Very largeforearms and short forearms (particularlychildren’s arms), can be accommodatedby moving the arm rest forward. The arm rest is adjustable to three positions. To adjust, remove the ...

6 Use ALKALINE batteries only. To install the batteries: ● 1 Remove thebattery cover bydisengaging theclip at the back. ● 2 Align the polarityof the batteriescorrectly, withthe positive "+"toward the coilplug connection,as indicated bythe + and –indicators on thehousing. ● 3 Insert (2) 9-Vol...

7 QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • A Nail • A Quarter • A Pull-Tab from a beverage can • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the search coilhanging over the edge.(or better, have a friendhold the detector, withthe coil off th...

9 BASIC OPERATION POWERING UP Press the POWERtouch pad. • The detector will beep 4 times • All display segments willilluminatemomentarily • The SENSITIVITY and BATTERYindicators will stay illuminated MOTION and NO-MOTION MODES Depending on the operation mode selected, the Discovery 3300detects metal...

10 ALL METAL MODE (Default Operation) The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’s PROBABLEidentification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. Inaddition, the PROBABLE depth of coin-sized objects is indica...

11 disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into thecorresponding categories. Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system. Objectsare cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases. NOTCH MODE To selectively eliminate a category from detection...

12 BASIC OPERATION continued 3) Notice the Target Indication Note: You can only ZAP objects that register under the seven left-most segments (from Iron to Zinc). 4) Press ZAP. An "R" appears under the segment to be eliminated.5) Pass the search coil over the same object again. The undesirabl...

13 AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION (motion modes only) While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifyingburied objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the displayscreen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audiofeedback mechanism to alert the us...

14 DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY (motion modes only) READING THE DISPLAY The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) showsthe PROBABLE identification of thetargeted metal, as well as the PROBABLEdepth of the target, in inches. The detector will register a repeating,unchanging target identification when aburied targ...

15 DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY (motion modes only) THREE DIGIT TARGET INDICATOR The three digit target indicator, in themiddle of the LCD display, provides aspecific target value to help identify buriedtargets more accurately. With practice inthe field, you will learn to associate targetvalues with the...

16 ELECTROMAGNETICINTERFERENCE The principle use for theSensitivity Control is toeliminate ElectromagneticInterference (EMI).A hobby metal detector is anextremely sensitive device;the search coil creates itsown magnetic field and actslike an antenna. If yourdetector beeps erraticallywhen the search ...

17 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (motion modes only) When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”, as illustrated, over where the tone is induced. PINPOINTING Accurate pinpointing takes practiceand is best accomplished by“X-ing” the target area. 1. Once a buried target is indicatedby a good tone response...

20 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES - Pinpoint Mode GROUND BALANCING Before using the PINPOINT mode, it is necessary to “Ground Balance”your detector, this ground balancing adjustment offsets the effects ofminerals and salts in the ground. To GROUND BALANCE your detector: 1. Using the ALL-METAL mode, find a ...

22 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES - Pinpoint Mode In the Pinpoint Mode, coil sweep technique is not important. Rather, userretuning is critical.The detector does not automatically adjust to changing ground andenvironmental conditions; the operator is required to make the adjustment. Ifthe detector sounds a...

23 T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G G U I D E SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION Detector chatters • Using detector • Use detector or beeps erratically indoors outdoors only • Using detector near • Move away power lines from power lines • Using 2 detectors in • Keep 2 detectors close proximity at least 20’ apart •...
