Turning On The Detector - Minelab x-terra 305 Instruction Manual

TURNING ON THE DETECTOR

20
There are many metallic objects inside the
house (e.g. nails in the floor, reinforcing in
the walls) that will result in overloading the
detector's electronics. There may also be
interference from TV sets and other household
appliances. In this environment the detector
may give erratic performance and numerous
false signals.
If the detector emits an overload sound and
displays OL (Error Messages, p. 66) move the coil
away from the source of the overload.
It is best to only turn the detector on
when outside, away from sources of
electromagnetic disturbance.
Overloading is not harmful to the
detectors electronics.
Press Power
A short start up sequence will display and a
tune will be heard.
Once on, the detector will be in automatic
detection. There will be no numeric reading
until a metal object is detected.
Many of the screen pictures in this manual
that refer to both models show the
