6.2 Nastavení citlivosti

The TEK-Point Pinpointer offers three adjustable sensitivity levels to optimize detection for various target sizes and ground conditions.

  1. With the device powered on, quickly press and release the power button to cycle through the sensitivity settings.
  2. Each press will change the sensitivity level, indicated by a specific number of beeps and/or vibrations:
    • One beep/vibration: Low Sensitivity
    • Two beeps/vibrations: Medium Sensitivity
    • Three beeps/vibrations: High Sensitivity
  3. Select the appropriate sensitivity based on your detection needs. Higher sensitivity is suitable for smaller targets or less mineralized ground, while lower sensitivity helps reduce false signals in highly mineralized areas.

6.3 Target Detection and Pinpointing

Once powered on and sensitivity is set, sweep the tip of the pinpointer over the area where a target is suspected. The device will emit an audible alert and/or vibrate with increasing intensity as it approaches a metal object. The 360-degree detection field allows for efficient scanning from all angles.
