OWNER’S MANUAL The Discovery 3300 is a professional metal detector . While the most difficult aspects of metal detecting have been automated, it is a sophisticated electronic device which requires an understanding of some basic features and metal detecting concepts.

3 TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINA TION - Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator , when a specified object passes through the coil’ s detection field.
Adjusting the Arm Rest Most people will find the standard position of the arm rest very comfortable. V ery large forearms and short forearms (particularly children’ s arms), can be accommodated by moving the arm rest forward. The arm rest is adjustable to three positions.
5 ASSEMBL Y Assembly is easy and requires no tools. ● 1 Position detector upright. ● 2 Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully in a counter clockwise direction. ● 3 Insert your finger inside the tube and make sure the INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the inside of the tube.
6 Use ALKALINE batteries only . T o install the batteries: ● 1 Remove the battery cover by disengaging the clip at the back. ● 2 Align the polarity of the batteries correctly , with the positive "+" toward the coil plug connection, as indicated by the + and – indicators on the housing.
7 Q UICK-ST AR T DEMONSTRA TION I. Supplies Needed • A Nail • A Quarter • A Pull-T ab from a beverage can • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) • A Nickel II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge.
8 VI. W ave the Nail over the Searchcoil a. The Nail will not be detected. b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out." VII. Press the “DISCRIMINA TION- ▲ ” touch pad twice. Five “R”s are now displayed. VIII. W ave all objects over the Searchcoil The Nail and Pull-T ab will not be detected.
9 BASIC OPERA TION POWERING UP Press the POWER touch pad. • The detector will beep 4 times • All display segments will illuminate momentarily • The SENSITIVITY (left) and BA TTERY (right) indica.
10 ALL MET AL MODE (Default Operation) The detector defaults to ALL MET AL mode after powering on. In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’ s PROBABLE identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display .
11 disappear , thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories. Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system.
12 BASIC OPERA TION 4) Press ZAP . An "R" appears under the segment to be eliminated. 5) Pass the searchcoil over the same object again. The undesirable object is eliminated from detection The ZAP control is easy to use in the field.
13 AUDIO T ARGET IDENTIFICA TION (motion modes only) 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.
14 DEPTH AND T ARGET DISPLA Y (motion modes only) Please refer to the display on your detector and reference the TARGET I.D. categories below applicable to your model (not all detectors include all of these categories).
15 DEPTH AND T ARGET DISPLA Y (motion modes only) DEPTH INDICA TOR: The Depth Indicator is accurate for coin-sized objects. It indicates the depth of the target, in inches.
16 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the searchcoil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna.
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 IN MOTION MODES Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the target area.
18 Swing the searchcoil slowly , overlapping each sweep as you move forward. It is important to sweep the coil at a consistent speed over the ground as you search. After identifying a target, your sweep technique can help in identifying both the location and the nature of the target.
19 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (motion modes only) Y ou 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.
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 of minerals and slats in the ground. T o GROUND BALANCE your detector: 1.
21 IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES - Pinpoint Mode As your search takes you to different areas, verify the ground balance setting peri- odically using the above procedure.
22 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION Detector chatters • Using detector • Use detector or beeps erratically indoors outdoors only • Using detector near • Move away power lines from .
23 5- YEAR LIMITED W ARRANT Y The Discovery 3300 metal detector is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for five years from the date of purchase to the origi- nal owner . Damage due to neglect, accidental damage, or misuse of this product is not cov- ered under this warranty .
