Wired Headphones

The EQUINOX Series is compatible with any standard wired headphones. There are also
accessory waterproof headphones available for underwater detecting.
Connecting Wired Headphones
The EQUINOX 600 is supplied with wired
headphones. Any standard 3.5 mm (1/8-inch)
headphones can also be connected to
EQUINOX, however the headphone connector
overmold must be less than 9 mm (0.35") in
diameter, otherwise the connector will not fit
inside the waterproof socket.
The ML 80 wireless headphones come with an
auxiliary cable that allows the headphones to
be used as wired headphones.
1. Unscrew the plastic dust-cap from the
headphone socket on the rear of the
control unit. If it is tight, it can be loosened
with a small coin.
2. Plug the headphones into the headphone
socket.
The Headphone icon will appear on the top right of the
detector LCD.
When headphones are not in use, ensure that the
plastic dust-cap on the rear of the control unit is
screwed firmly into place.
6.35 mm (1/4-inch) headphones can be used with EQUINOX via a
headphone adaptor, available as an accessory.
Adaptor Cable
A headphone adaptor cable 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) to
6.35 mm (1/4-inch) is available to purchase as an
accessory. It connects any 6.35 mm (1/4-inch)
headphones to your detector or WM 08 Module.
The 3.5 mm (1/4-inch) end of the Adaptor Cable is
waterproof when screwed onto the EQUINOX
waterproof headphone socket.
The 6.35 mm (1/8-inch) end is not waterproof.
Connecting Waterproof Headphones
Both EQUINOX 600 and 800 are waterproof,
and can be fully submerged to a depth of 3
metres (10-feet).
Minelab EQUINOX waterproof headphones
must used for underwater detecting, as
they have a unique connector that forms
a waterproof seal when used with your
EQUINOX.
1. Unscrew the plastic dust-cap from the headphone socket on
the rear of the control unit. If it is tight, it can be loosened with
a small coin.
2. Check that the headphone socket and connector are dry and
free from sand, dust, and dirt.
3. Plug the headphones into the connector on the rear of the
control unit.
4. Carefully align the retaining ring over the connector thread and
screw them together, ensuring that no cross-threading occurs.
The Headphone icon will appear on the top right of the
detector LCD.
5. Lightly tighten the retaining ring.
After underwater detecting, ensure that the area
around the connector is dry and free of sand and mud
before disconnecting the headphones. This will prevent dirt
and water ingress.
Headphone Socket Submersion
The headphone socket on the detector is waterproof, and will not
be damaged if submerged without the plastic dust-cap attached.
However, if water enters the headphone jack it may cause false
headphone detection. If this occurs, the detector speaker audio
will cease and the headphones icon will appear on the LCD.
Resolve this by clearing the water from the headphones socket.
