To ground balance you need to go to all metal mode on discrimination. Then turn gain nob til it starts to hit the black "Gain" label. Swing detector over the ground until you find a spot that is quiet. Pump the coil up and down over the spot. While doing this, push and hold the phase lock button until it beeps and phase number and setting numbers match. Then you should be ground balanced. Important to be in all metal mode and over a piece of ground with no metal. Detect. The settings number and phase should not vary by 2 or 3 while detecting. If they start consistently varying by more than that over clean ground then re-ground balance using the above method. I hope that helps.
