5. the weaker targets the high and low settings under options can be decreased to detect the weaker targets example 10 10 or 5 5 for even weaker targets The stronger targets dictate raising the values to separate the surrounding background from the target The high and low data readings capture the highest or lowest signals for that scan While scanning a small difference in the numbers can mean a target is detected Current The current reading is where the antenna is reading at the time The current current signal strength reading can assist in relocating the highest lowest reading point or target The highest and lowest numbers captured as data readings can be matched with the current reading to relocate or confirm target The color bar is indicating the current reading also Monitor Indicators The colors indicate Green as ground or background targets Blue indicates weak targets such as voids tunnels caves and possible non ferrous metals Yellow Orange indicates medium targets or the edge of a strong target Red is a strong target such as ferrous metals If a weak target isn t indicated in red on the monitor then lowering the values will result in showing the target colors STATUS BAR Indicates the connected or not connected status of the antenna Ground Balancing and Scan Method Ground Balancing Pause and without turning the antenna clockwise or counter clockwise set PC at 0 click on start over ground that is known
