Quick Start Beginning with Factory Default Settings is recommended before using this Quick Start procedure. 100 mm (4") TURN ON 10 s RAISE AND LOWER COIL FOR 10 s BEGIN DETECTING Return to Contents...
Factory Reset Procedure Factory default settings can be restored at any time by conducting a Factory Reset. START Ensure the detector is powered off. Press and hold the power button for 7 seconds. ‘FP’ (Factory Preset) is displayed. Return to Contents...

Intelligent Automatic Operation The procedure below is a fail-safe way to begin detecting in a high-sensitivity automatic mode. Once complete, the GPX 6000™ will automatically maximise sensitivity while minimising noise, so you can concentrate on finding gold. START Factory Reset the detector.
Manual Sensitivity Adjustment Procedure Always try the Noise Cancel Procedure and the Quick-Trak Ground Balance Procedure resolve noise before reducing the sensitivity level. Generally start with a Mono coil unless you are detecting in areas with known high levels of EMI or soil conductivity. START ...
Noise Cancel Procedure If audio responses become erratic due to EMI, initiate the Noise Cancel process to automatically select a quieter detecting channel. START Hold the coil 100 mm (4 in) above the ground. 100 mm (4") Press the Noise Cancel button.
Double-D Coil Noise Cancel Procedure Generally, a Double-D coil should only be used if noise cannot be managed by using a Mono coil with the Noise Cancel Procedure. This procedure can be used in areas that have known high levels of EMI or very conductive (salty) soils.
Quick-Trak Ground Balance Procedure Follow the Quick-Trak Ground Balance procedure to quickly recalibrate the detector to the new ground. START Press and hold the Quick-Trak button. Raise and lower the coil until noise reduces. Swing coil the from side-to-side. Release the Quick-Trak button.
Ground Balance Procedure A complete Ground Balance procedure is recommended below. This guides you through the ideal steps to deal with a number of different ground conditions. START Normal (Quiet) Ground Set the Ground Type to Normal. Quick-Trak. Adjust the sensitivity. Begin detecting.
