MD Footprint:
-Buried 5 in. Depth
-Semi circular halo 20-25 in. From mine center
GPR Footprint:
-Outside edge at 13 in. Diameter
Anti tank/ low metallic
MD Footprint
-buried 3 in. Depth
-semi circular halo 1-4 inches From mine center
GPR Footprint
-Outside edge at 6-13 inch diameter
Anti-Personnel (Metallic)
MD Footprint
-Buried half inch depth to flush
-semi circular halo 13-15 inches from mine center
GPR Footprint
-outside edge at 5 inches diameter
Anti Personnel (Low Metallic)
MD Footprint
-Buried Half Inch depth to flush
-semi circular halo 1-4 inches from mine center
GPR Footprint
-outside edge at 1-4 inches diameter
GPR
Alert can draw mental picture of actual size of target in ground.
Gated Mode
-Traditional Mine Field use
-GPR will only turn on after MD alert
-Cannot be used to determine non metallic EH
For wire wire, running horizontally may not be detected with normal sweep technique due to the automatic compensation canceling out the wire adjusting technique to cross potential wires, perpendicular will increase detection ability so make sure to watch for wires protruding 
And its location identified the actions taken next will depend on the unit threat levels in the tactical situation so that’s 
Calibrating time variable gain
-Press C until 11 and 12 are illum,
-Sweep until distinct alert from all 3 test pieces but not surrounding area.
-Keep it low as possible adjust later on the fly
Save GPR Calibration settings
Press/Hold C for 3 seconds
LED 5-8 should illuminate to confirm save
To recall GPR Settings
Auto start on default
Press hold C for 3 seconds, hear beep
5-8 blink
Release C button, then old settings return.
GPR Calibration (Alarm Volume)
Set control knob to set up
Press mode, GPR is the only one lit
Press + or - to increase or reduce GPR volume
GPR parameter Calibration
-Turn knob to set up
-Press mode till GPR is lit
-Press hold C button for 3 seconds til tone stops
-Release C button
-LED 11 lit displaying start point/variable gain (GPR deep sensitivity)
-Pressing C goes to next parameters once previous ones are set
LED 11 flashing is stop point. LED 12 is linear gain (GPR sensitivity) LED 11-12 is time variable gain (GPR Deep Sensitivity)
