Self Scan:
▸ Reduce power to lowest level and then increase power 2 steps
(clicks.)
▸ Perform a self scan from head to toe to identify personal sources
of distracting signals.
▸ Eliminate distracting signals by moving devices (transceiver, GPS,
radio, etc.) to your back, covering with RECCO shields or vest, or
removing and leaving behind.
▸ When aiming the detector on max power toward a clear horizon
and have no distracting signals you are ready to search.
Take time before getting called for a
