bring up the Main Menu screen. This allows access to the various
operational settings of the Explorer. This manual covers Menu
options in detail in Chapter 5: Quickstart and Chapter 6: Advanced
Use.
Back

This button allows you to 'retrace' your steps through the control
panel display screens. Pressing the BACK button during detecting
or from within the menu structures will take you back one step in
the history of control panel use. This button will typically be used
when selecting or customizing settings within various menu
categories.
NOTE The BACK button will only retrace the last 3 steps.
SHORTCUT BUTTONS
The Explorer's shortcut buttons are intended to offer quick access to the functions and
settings most likely to be used in detector operation.

very important to keep the detector coil motionless during this time.
Also ensure that no metallic objects are moved in close vicinity of the
search coil.
In Advanced mode it is possible to manually select your desired
detecting channel. Owners of the Explorer S should use this manual
Noise option within Advanced mode (page 83).
