4. # OF TONES

While the # OF TONES line is highlighted, use
number of different audio tones.
Different target categories are identified by different audio tones in order to give
you the fastest real-time reference while searching. Most experienced users
become familiar with the tones and search without always looking at the display.
Use this selection to program the number of audible tones the detector
will emit.
The default setting is 3 tones.
Depending on your number of tones selection, audio target categories are:.
# Tones Iron Foil
1 *VCO VCO
2 Bass VCO
3 Bass Low
4 Bass Low
*VCO (originally referred to as Voltage Control Oscillator)
Pitch increases with increasing signal strength. A given target will
induce a HIGH PITCH when close to the coil, but a LOWER PITCH
when farther away.
The audio volume always varies in proportion to signal strength. The
closer a target gets to the coil, the louder the volume.

5. VOLUME

While the VOLUME line is highlighted, use
speaker volume.
The default volume setting is 10. Maximum is 10.
Minimum is 0 (volume off). At levels 1, 2 and 3, high tones will be inaudible or
barely audible.
The speaker volume will diminish as battery voltage drops. For maximum
speaker volume, use 1 or 2 tones, as the low and bass tones generate the
loudest sounds.
Volume can be set while in either the DISCRIMINATION or ALL METALS
modes, but only one setting applies to both modes. Volume in the two modes
cannot be set independently.
