High Performance Automatic Operation
The GPX 6000™ is engineered for easy operation without loss of performance�
GeoSense‑PI™ technology provides maximum depth by monitoring your detecting
activity and environment — it automatically tracks and removes unwanted ground
response, so minimal user input is required�
Intelligent Automatic Operation
The procedure below is a fail‑safe way to begin detecting in a high‑sensitivity automatic mode� Once complete, the
GPX 6000™ will automatically maximise sensitivity while minimising noise, so you can concentrate on finding gold� Note that
this procedure is the same as the Quick Start procedure
START `
1. Factory Reset the detector.
2. Hold the coil 100 mm (4 in)
above the ground.
3. Raise and lower coil for 10 seconds.
Begin detecting.
`
Every 5 to 10 minutes throughout your detecting session, it is recommended that the coil is raised and lowered above the
ground a couple of times from 10 to 100 mm (1/2 to 4 in)� This ensures that the detector is thoroughly ground balanced and
operating at maximum sensitivity� In environments with more ground noise, repeat this process more frequently�
` If the conditions are very quiet, increase sensitivity from Auto to Auto+�
` If the detector becomes noisy, conduct a
` If the Noise Cancel Procedure doesn't resolve the noise, follow the
Procedure (page 14)�

Hold the coil still and 100 mm (4 in) above, and parallel to the
ground — the ground must not contain metal targets�
100 mm (4")
For 10 seconds, raise and lower the coil between 10 and 100 mm
(1/2 and 4 in) above the ground to expose the coil to the full range
of the ground — try to lower the coil as close to the ground as
possible without touching the ground�
