I'm a complete novice and have a used whites detector .
I downloaded the manual at the link below :
http://www.whiteselectronics.com/ma...000 Di S3 &5900 Di Pro Instruction Manual.pdf
However on page 6 ( Adobe screen view is 6 - printed it is page 7 ) it just doesn't make sense to me
1. The TUNER sets the detectors THRESHOLD
2. The THRESHOLD is indicated by an audio tone that is barely heard . It represents the detector's maximum operating sensitivity .
3. To set the THRESHOLD :
a. Set all controls at "P"
b. Hold the detector so that its loop is in the air , straight out in front of you , waist high.
c. Squeeze and release the TRIGGER SWITCH and turn the TUNER to the right until the tone is barely heard . Release the TRIGGER SWITCH .
3.c. just doesn't make sense to me
How can I squeeze and release the trigger switch ...... and then release it ???
Also with the tuner already set on "P" turning to the right ( towards MAX ) just increases the tone .
When using it yesterday I just went ahead and started with the TUNER on MIN ( no sound ) and turned it to the right until I barely heard it . ( did a great job of finding pulltabs and rusty nails )
Is the manual a typo ?
Should it be : " Squeeze and hold the TRIGGER SWITCH and turn the TUNER to the right until the tone is barely heard . Release the TRIGGER SWITCH . "
OR ???????????
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Explanation of controls : Tuner
1. The TUNER sets the detectors THRESHOLD
