Detector Settings

VOLUME
The Volume control changes the loudness of target signals�
Use the Volume button to adjust the Volume Level� Each press
of the Volume button will advance to the next Volume Level
from low to high� Once maximum Volume is reached, pressing
the Volume button will return to the lowest Volume Level�
The Volume button
The Volume Level indicator on the display shows the current
Volume Level� Each bar represents one level�
The Volume Level indicator showing
maximum volume (level 3)
SENSITIVITY
The VANQUISH Series detectors are highly sensitive and have
adjustable sensitivity� Setting the correct sensitivity level for
individual detecting conditions will maximise detection depth�
Always choose the highest stable Sensitivity setting to ensure
optimum performance�
Use the Sensitivity button to adjust the Sensitivity Level�
Each press of the Sensitivity button will advance to the next
Sensitivity Level from low to high� Once maximum Sensitivity
is reached, pressing the Sensitivity button will return to the
lowest Sensitivity Level�
The Sensitivity button
The Sensitivity Level indicator on the display shows the
current Sensitivity Level� Each bar represents one level�
The Sensitivity Level indicator showing
maximum sensitivity (level 4)
CONTENTS
To Adjust the Sensitivity Level
1� Hold the coil stationary, then use the Sensitivity button to
increase the sensitivity until false signals begin to occur�
2� Reduce the Sensitivity Level just enough that the false
signals disappear, by pressing the Sensitivity button (if
Level 2, 3, or 4 is selected, press three times to reduce
the sensitivity by one level)�
3� Sweep the coil over a clear patch of ground, and reduce
the Sensitivity Level further if any ground noise is
encountered�
Excessive Noise
Sometimes, excessive noise is encountered whilst detecting�
This can be caused by environmental electromagnetic
interference (EMI) from sources such as power lines, mobile
phone towers, or other metal detectors�
If noise is a problem, try the following steps in order until the
noise is eliminated�
1� Move away from local sources of Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI)�
2� Restart the detector, and wait for the automatic Noise
Cancel process to complete�
3� If restarting the detector does not eliminate the excessive
noise, then try reducing the Sensitivity Level�
Automatic Noise Cancel
VANQUISH Series detectors have an automatic Noise
Cancel process that occurs every time the detector is
powered on� It calibrates the detector so that excessive
noise is not experienced�
For best results, the coil should be held stationary just
above the ground until Automatic Noise Cancel is complete
(indicated by two large dashes displayed on the Target ID
Number field)�
