e-Trac Modes

Mode Settings, Universal Settings
and Preferences
E-Trac's settings can be divided into three
categories: Mode Settings, Universal Settings
and Preferences. The significance of each
category is explained below.
Mode Settings
These settings define E-Trac's performance
for a particular location (such as the beach
or park) or type of treasure hunting (such as
coins or relics). E-Trac is designed to allow you
to save these Mode Settings as a User Mode.
A User Mode can be saved in, or retrieved
from, E-Trac memory; or shared with another
user via E-Trac Xchange (p. 80).
Universal Settings
These settings affect E-Trac's performance but
can be adjusted regardless of your location
and desired treasure type. Universal Settings
are determined according to your personal
detecting choices (e.g. Sensitivity, Noise
Cancel and Threshold Pitch).
Preferences
These settings do not affect E-Trac's
performance and allow you to customize the
appearance of the Detection Screens (e.g.
Contrast and Show Sensitivity).
User Modes
A User Mode is a collection of specific
detector settings and a Discrimination
Pattern. The following settings are part of a
User Mode:
– Audio – Volume Gain
– Audio – Response
– Audio – Tone ID – No. of Tones
– Audio – Tone ID – Sounds
– Audio – Tone ID – Variability
– Audio – Tone ID – Limits
– Expert – Recovery Deep
– Expert – Recovery Fast
– Expert – Trash Density
– Expert – Ground
E-Trac is pre-programmed with four Minelab
User Modes: Coins Mode, High Trash Mode,
Beach Mode and Relics Mode.
The Coins Mode is the default User Mode,
and will be active when you first turn on your
E-Trac, or after a Reset (p. 19) and/or a
Master Reset (p. 79).
A User Mode can be loaded, modified, and
saved in E-Trac's memory in one of the four
memory slots as either My Mode 1, My Mode
2, My Mode 3 or My Mode 4 (pp. 40–1).
If Show Mode Info (p. 78) is turned on, E-Trac
will display the Mode Information icons in
the Detection Screens (pp. 26–7) to show the
current User Mode.

If one of the Mode Settings or the
Discrimination Pattern is modified, the
icon will indicate the User Mode has been
modified but not saved.
Note: You can load a User Mode and adjust its
settings and the Disc. Pattern. If the User Mode
is not saved, the changes to the Disc. Pattern

is loaded.
