Getting Started
- Power ON. Press and release the ON / OFF Power button. The Apex powers on in the last mode used and is ready to search. The detector operates on built-in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
- Select Mode. Use the Mode button to select a different detection mode, when desired.
- Adjust settings. Press Menu Button to adjust Sensitivity, Volume, Iron Volume, Frequency, Channel, Backlight, or Z-Lynk settings, if desired.
- Ground Balance (if necessary). Press and hold GND BAL button while bouncing the coil above the ground.
- Begin scanning. Lower the searchcoil to about one inch (2.5cm) above the ground and scan the coil left and right at approximately 3 feet/second (1 meter/second). The coil must be in motion for target detection but can remain stationary during Pinpoint.
