Because a metal detector is generally used in extreme conditions, we have given full attention to the most sensitive parts. GMAXX II is been developed and manufactured with quality components and material, thus ensuring your XP detector a maximum useful life.

It can be adjusted to suit the environment so as not to be plagued with false signals. Please note that this new detector has a more advanced SENSITIVITY setting compared to previous GMAXX II model, enabling you to make gradual adjustments to help alleviate false signals.
C O N T R O L S IRON THRESHOLD _______________________________ The GMAXX II is still a "multi-tone" detector, but users can now adjust the iron level setting by using the IRON THRESHOLD potentiometer. This potentiometer can be seen as a discrimination setting with a range only covering iron.
C O N T R O L S GROUND______________________________ ______ With this control you can correct ground effects and more accurately reject ferrous minerals or any pottery containing iron oxides. If you are prospecting on grounds loaded with magnetic stones, it might be a good idea to keep a sample of these rocks on you to adjust your detector before detecting this type of ground.
The silencer can limit false signals caused by iron. Use position I or II if you desire a quieter search. Silencer in position II will allow to get used to GMAXX II faster and will improve iron rejection. 0 : Silencer OFF...

Everybody will find a use for it. On certain types of ground, especially those contaminated by copper shot gun cartridges or little pieces of aluminum foil, GMAXX II will can signal the presence of debris by means of a medium-pitched tone, whereas as decent targets will trigger a high-pitched sound.

M U L T I - T O N E I N F O R M A T I O N In addition to these three basic tones, GMAXX II has another advantageous feature: it can produce several different tones simultaneously for targets in intermediate categories.
D E T E C T I N G T E C H N I Q U E S GMAXX II is a motion detector, which means that target detection can be carried out only when the search coil is moving.
C A R E I N S T R U C T I O N S Our detectors are designed to be as robust as possible, however, like any electronic precision instrument, they require some care. The XP search coil cable has been designed so as to resist long term movement.

C A R E I N S T R U C T I O N S Not adhering to these precautions will lead to long term damage of the cable and void the warranty due to user negligence. If you are not using the detector for more than a month, remove the alkaline batteries from the detector.
