Operating Multiple Detectors In Close Proximity - Minelab F3 Compact Operation Manual

Operating Multiple Detectors in Close Proximity

On occasion it may be necessary to operate F3 Compact detectors in close
proximity. In normal circumstances, an F3 Compact detector can operate as
close as two metres (seven feet) to another without suffering excessive mutual
interference. To achieve this minimum operating distance between detectors,
Noise Cancel must be conducted as follows:
a. With all other detectors switched off, switch on the first detector and perform
Noise Cancel as described on page 26.
b. Once Noise Cancel is finished on the first detector, leave it switched on. Ensure
that the second detector is at least two metres away and switch it on. Conduct
Noise Cancel using the Noise Cancel button of the second detector.
c. Continue this process for all detectors being used in close proximity.
