Page 2: What's In The Box
The new-from-the-ground-up E-Trac is bristling with technology and has some very smart new tricks up its sleeve! This detector is a new model, the premiere agship of the Minelab eet and does not replace anything else – instead it adds to the model line-up and creates a new benchmark in software functional- ity, performance and class-leading capability. - Page 3 The Menu button in the centre controls the access to all E-Trac’s selectable Menu choices. Pinpoint takes the E-Trac out of a discrimination motion mode and puts it into a temporary all metal, non- discrimination mode. Note: it is not advisable to search in the pin point mode.
- Page 4 Minelab engineers have really put into this wonderfully exciting new machine! One of the most exciting new functions is E-Trac Xchange: the ability to communicate with a personal computer to upload and share detecting programs, a great innovation and step forward in making the hobby of metal detecting as personable as choosing your favourite music for your iPod.

The conductivity scale has a wider range of IDs (from 1 to 50) and the ferrous range is expanded also (1-35). So on E-Trac, the Ferrous scale is on a vertical adjustment and the Non-Ferrous or Conductivity scale is on a horizontal adjustment. - Page 8 Sensitivity individually for each set of signals, to provide the most stable Target ID. Most ground types cause some interference and E-Trac uses this to adjust the detector to the correct Auto Sensitivity.

The correct Ground setting will reduce false signals from the soil. So therefore, a good question would be: “How would I know which setting I should set E-Trac to”? One of the answers to that lies in the Sensitivity range of the E-Trac, particularly the Auto or A setting. If the A ranges upwards and stabilizes at a high setting then it could be determined that the ground is ‘normal’... -
