NOTES
1. Subject to improvement or modification without notice.
2. Approximate.
3. Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Volume and frequency increase as
target is approached. This effect is most pronounced in the
No‑Motion mode.
4. The Gold Bug is a motion detector in the
Auto‑Tune and Motion modes. The search coil must be moving at least
slightly to detect a target.
