volume

Volume is the level of sound the detector gives
when a target is detected. The volume control
limits the potential loudness of target signals.
The X-Terra has proportional target signal
volume. The sound produced by a distant
target starts softly. As you get closer, the
volume level increases rapidly until it reaches
the maximum level that has been set.
The sound produced by the detector in
pinpoint or ground balance will vary in volume
and tone depending on the signal strength
(from a target or ground mineralisation). This
volume range is proportional to the maximum
volume setting.
The X-Terra is able to save separate settings
for both the speaker volume and headphone
volume, switching from one to the other
as soon as the headphones are connected
(Accessories, p. 72).
Set the speaker volume without headphones
connected. Set the headphone volume with
the headphones connected. Use the exercise
with different targets to confirm both
(p. 22)
the speaker and headphone volume settings.
When the detector battery is low (indicated by
the low battery icon) the speaker volume limit
will be reduced. This saves battery power and
extends detecting time.
You may choose to override this and increase
the volume limit, but you then risk the
detector shutting down earlier.
