Test Piece — Functional Test
The F3 Compact is supplied with a Test Piece designed to confirm that the detector
is working to correct specifications. The detector should be checked with the Test
Piece when the Sensitivity Knob is at Position 4 (default). In some instances, a user
may prefer to use inert mines or targets as test pieces because they represent the
local threat. Minelab recommends that the detector always be first tested with the
supplied Test Piece before local test pieces are used for testing.
When switched on, maximum sensitivity is available 30 seconds after the
completion of the Start-Up tones. Do not test the detector with the Test Piece until
30 seconds after the completion of the Start-Up tones.
The Test Piece functional test must be conducted with the Sensitivity Knob set to
Position 4 (Default) and should be conducted whenever the detector is switched on
After switching on the detector, the LEDs will always be disabled unless
If an Earset Speaker OFF is connected to the detector, the LED display will be
automatically disabled for tactical reasons. However,
if required the LED display can be enabled by pressing the LED
