Down load a manual from the Fisher web site if you don't have one.

Here is one thread that has discussion on running autotune with some notes on running discrimination mode:

And just spend some time reading through this forum. There are a lot of CZ related settings and observations here. The CZ20 is an analog CZ that behaves like the land based analog detectors except that it is always in salt mode and does not have the ID meter.

Best bet is to take it out and try it. I started getting familiar with my CZ20 over some school grounds and even found a couple of rings on the school grounds with the CZ20.

Where you gonna be using it? Fresh or salt water? Beach?

Didn't get mine wet this year very often but did get it a lot of swing time. Mostly sidewalk and roadway construction sites, where it excels at ignoring the noise in the ground and still gets goodies including nice coinage on edge and deep as need be. It's not as deep as my other CZ's have been but still works great in the sites where I use it including a few carnie cleanups.

Tony, when searching any beach set the Disc knob on 1 so you don't have to hear all those iron nails. Listen for mid tones for jewelry, high tone for coins. Ground balance as described in the manual, if you don't GB you will get a lot of falsing on salt water beaches. With Volume set above 4 it will be in "volume boost" (deep items will sound louder). That is all you need to know to get started. Jabbo

On the beach, if there isn't too much iron trash, I run my CZ's in AutoTone. When I get a signal, I switch to disc. to check the target. In disc, I like to run my CZ's on disc. 0. It helps to interpret those fake high tones from deep iron.

On dry land or on wet beaches, if I am in disc. I always run it at disc. 0.

Just the way I like to hunt.
