From this stage of the menu mode, a subsequent
press of the
MENU
key will return the detector to
normal operation. Again, this can also be
achieved by pressing P or waiting a few seconds.

Additional Features

Target ID
This part of the display provides an indication of
the identity of each target. When the search
head is swept past a target, a number - between
0 and 95 - is shown on the display and the bar
displays a number of blocks dependant on the
number shown. If only one or two blocks appear,
and the number that appears is low, then the
object is likely to be iron. If seven or eight blocks
are shown, and the number is high, then the
object is likely to be of high conductivity. Some
typical targets are shown here:
Battery Check
The detector continually monitors the condition
of the battery. When the detector indicates a
target, the bar on the display fills up dependant
on the object found. When the battery is in good
condition the blocks will be the same height as
all the other characters on the display. As the
4
Nail
5p
Shilling
battery fades, the height of the blocks will
gradually reduce. When the bar fills up with
blocks just one pixel high, "Low-Battery" will be
read on the display and the battery should be
replaced.
Replace Battery
Power Off
Pressing the
key will store the current
detector settings and switch the detector off.
Note: If the battery is removed without first
switching the detector off, the current settings
may not be stored.
Auto Power-Off
If
the
detector
receives
approximately 5 minutes, it will consider itself
not to be in use and automatically switch off. This
should not cause a problem in normal use and
prevents battery draining should the detector
accidentally be left switched on. This feature can
be switched off, if desired, through the menu.
Headphone Socket
This is on the underside of the display box and
will accept a standard pair of headphones with a
¼" stereo jack plug. The loudspeaker will be
disabled when a plug is inserted into the
headphone socket. Headphones are particularly
recommended for searching in the Non-Motion
or All-Metal modes.
