Gunnar,
Just tweeking the sensitivity and ground probably won't affect the warranty, as long as you don't break something inside or go soldering.

If you have the same version circuit card (4.1), the pots are in the position in the picture. There are different versions of the circuit card in production. If it is a different version, the pots may not be the same.
A warning: You can easily miss-align things if you don't have an understanding of what you are doing and make the detector pretty non-functional. So if you don't have an understanding, please leave it alone.
The sensitivity can be increased until it starts to chatter. Some of these seem to have more range than others. If you have it set to where it chatters and your hunt conditions change, it can be unstable until the sensitivity is turned down a little. So be careful.
Before doing anything with the ground balance, search on the findmall Tesoro forum for posts by Monte about power ground balancing. Understand that process before trying to adjust the ground balance or you could be way off.
Sorry for the fuzzy picture; too much editing of original; but I think you can get the idea.
Cheers,
