Battery Status
Battery status can be checked at anytime by pressing and holding down the
Noise Cancel button and then pressing and immediately releasing the LED On/
Off button. Once completed the LED display will indicate the battery status for a
period of three seconds.
Earset Socket
The F3 Compact has an internal speaker located inside the Main Body, and can
also be fitted with an Earset via the Earset Socket. The procedure for connecting
the Earset is described in step 'g' on page 12.
A standard humanitarian demining Earset (Earset Speaker On) permits the
F3 Compact's internal speaker to continue to function even when the
Earset is connected.
For military countermine applications, an Earset that mutes the F3 Compact's
internal speaker when the Earset is connected is available (Earset Speaker Off).
The Earset Speaker Off is identified by a short length of green tubing located at
the rear of the Earset plug.
WARNING
Minelab strongly recommends that an operator always wears an
Earset when using the F3 Compact detector.
