Detector Settings

VOLUME
The Volume setting changes the loudness of
target signals.
Press the Volume button to cycle through the volume
settings from low to high. Once maximum Volume is
reached, pressing the Volume button will return to the
lowest Volume Level.

The Volume Level indicator on the display shows the
current Volume Level. Each bar represents one level.

SENSITIVITY
The INTREPID detector is highly sensitive and has
adjustable sensitivity. Setting the correct sensitivity
level for individual detecting conditions will maximize
detection depth.
Always choose the highest stable Sensitivity setting to
ensure optimum performance.
The Sensitivity Level indicator on the display shows the
current Sensitivity Level. Each bar represents one level.

To Adjust the Sensitivity Level
1. Hold the coil stationary, press the Plus button
to increase the sensitivity until false signals begin
to occur.
2. Press the Minus button
sensitivity just enough that the false signals
disappear.
3. Sweep the coil over a clear patch of ground, and
reduce the sensitivity level more if there is still
ground noise.

Excessive Noise
Sometimes, excessive noise is encountered whilst
detecting. This can be caused by environmental
electrical interference from sources such as power lines,
mobile phone towers, or other metal detectors.
If noise is a problem, try the following steps in order until
the noise is eliminated.
1. Move away from local sources of electrical
Interference.
2. Restart the detector.
3. If restarting the detector does not eliminate
the excessive noise, then try reducing the
Sensitivity Level.
SEARCH MODES
The INTREPID detector contains two search modes to
help you locate different types of metal objects. A long
press of the Volume button will switch between ALL
METAL (default) and NO IRON modes.
Use the ALL METAL mode to find all metallic targets.
Use the NO IRON mode to filter out iron junk.
In NO IRON mode, the IRON (1‑30) Target Group is not
displayed on the LCD.
