AUDIO: ADJUSTING THE SOUNDS
Introducing Sounds
Figure 5.19
Main Menu > Audio > SOUNDS
The SOUNDS menu allows you to define how the pitch varies with
target characteristics. This can be a very useful feature in identifying
targets in close proximity to one another. It is possible to instruct the
detector to emit a distinct sound responding to an object's ferrous
characteristics, rather than its conductive properties. To test sounds
upon selection it is necessary to move the coil across one or more
targets with different conductive and ferrous properties.
Constant
Main Menu > Audio > Sounds > CONST
Selecting CONST eliminates the variation of the pitch upon detection.
If selected, the Explorer will emit a consistent tone regardless of the
target detected.
Conductivity
Main Menu > Audio > Sounds > CONDUCT
Conduct is the factory preset and Minelab's recommended option.
Selecting CONDUCT adjusts the tone to identify the object relative to
its conductivity (the vertical axis of the Smartfind screen).
A high pitched tone denotes a large, highly conductive object with
target crosshair displayed near the top of the Smartfind screen
(or near a Digital rating of 32).
A low pitched tone denotes a small object with low conductivity. The
target crosshair is displayed near the bottom of the Smartfind screen
(or near a Digital rating of 1).

Ferrous
Main Menu > Audio > Sounds > FERROUS
Selecting FERROUS adjusts the tone according to the target's
ferrous content (the horizontal axis of the Smartfind screen). A low
'blaat' tone denotes a highly ferrous object, displayed on the left of
the screen. A high pitched 'squeak' tone denotes a non-ferrous
target, displayed on the right of the Smartfind screen.
Clear the Smartfind screen to test the Ferrous sound. There are two
ways to do this: adjust the Iron Mask level to -16 or choose CLEAR
from Main Menu > Discrim > SELECT.
NOTE When the Iron Mask is set to the left of the Smartfind
screen (setting -16) there will be a maximum variation in
pitch between detected objects. When the Iron Mask is fully
activated (setting 0) there will be no signal for objects with
ferrous content.
