Pairing: To pair with a new set of headphones/ receiver, simply switch the headphone/receiver on, hold within 2 feet (0.6 meters) of the Axiom. Next, power on Axiom. Repeatedly press the MENU button Press MENU until the wireless icon is selected. Use Plus (+) until the wireless icon is highlighted (as indicated or Minus (-) button to pair or unpair headphones. -
Page 11: Functions And Settings
Functions and Settings Your Axiom is a highly sensitive pulse induction detector engineered for ease of operation. Each of its specific settings and functions are fully described in the pages which follow. Factory Reset Frequency Scan Any changes made to Axiom settings are saved when Use this function to obtain the quietest operating the unit is switched off. -
Page 12: Detection Modes
Detection Modes The Axiom has four Search Mode options: Fine, Normal, Large and Salt. Each Search Mode is optimized for specific types of detecting, as detailed below. The Factory Default mode is Fine. Press MENU button until MODE is selected, then use the Menu Plus (+) or (-) button to select the desired mode. -
Page 13: Volume And Threshold Adjustment
Use the Threshold Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to adjust the Threshold—the constant audio background “hum” that is added to the target response. Axiom Threshold is adjustable between -9 and 25. The default setting is 15. It is recommended the Threshold be set to a barely audible level, or just below, based on hearing ability and surrounding audio conditions. -
Page 14: Tone And Audio Options
Tone and Audio Options The Axiom provides the user with the ability to change the pitch of audio tones and to select from two distinctly different audio types. Tone Adjustment Press the MENU button until TONE is selected, then press the MENU Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to scroll through 100 available tone shifts. -
Page 15: Target Signal Strength Indicators
Some users prefer this type of audio for its active, coarse response. Target Signal Strength Indicators Detected targets are heard and shown on the Axiom. The upper bargraph shows signal strength and polarity. Targets with high tones will create a proportional response toward the right of center. -
Page 16: Backlight, Speed, Sensitivity
Use the SENS Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to select one of eight (8) Sensitivity levels. Default setting is 6. Note: The Axiom is a very high-performance Use increased sensitivity when searching for very detector. The upper Sensitivity settings (7 & 8) are small or very deep targets. -
Page 17: Ground Balance Procedure/Indicators
Note: It is recommended to Ground Balance the Axiom in each new environment in order to ensure maximum stability and depth. Note: DD coils are inherently less susceptible to ground mineralization than are mono coils,... -
Page 18: Ground Balance
But in extremely mineralized soil, the Axiom must be ground balanced to the soil, in which case the hot rock may produce a response. To simultaneously eliminate the hot rock and the mineralized soil, change the Ground Balance procedure as follows. -
Page 19: Ground Track
Ground Track Ground Balance values Ground Trend arrows When switched on, Ground Track slowly tracks to changes in ground mineralization by automatically adjusting the ground balance values. However, when entering a new area, you should first perform Ground Balance to quickly obtain a good starting point. Press the MENU button until GND TRACK is selected, then press the MENU Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to scroll through the four Ground Track settings: OFF,... -
Page 20: Iron Check
(buzz). Note: Iron Check is a conservative function. To help ensure Axiom does not misidentify a good target as iron, the iron tone (buzz) will only activate on strong signals. Therefore, small/weak iron targets may not identify as iron. -
Page 21: Detecting Tips And Techniques
Operating with Short Stem Length ½“ In some scenarios, such as searching the walls of mines, you may want to collapse the Axiom to a very 3 feet (1 m) per second at 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) above ground compressed operating length. -

Note: By their nature, high performance pulse double beep before scanning targets. Continue to hold detectors, like the Axiom, are often very noisy indoors the IRON CHECK button while quickly scanning your or anywhere near developed areas due to numerous test targets back and forth across the coil. -
Page 23: General Advice
• I will cause no willful damage to property of any kind, including fences, signs and buildings. Your Garrett detector is rugged, designed for outdoor use. However, as with all electronic equipment, there • I will always fill the holes I dig. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting
Reduce sensitivity, if needed. b. If noise stops when coil is stationary, then it is likely due to ground or metal detection: i. Ensure Axiom is properly ground balanced. ii. Ensure no nearby or buried metal. iii. Investigate remaining responses; could be deep/faint signals that are marginally detectable. -
