Main Menu > Options > RESPONSE
The relationship between proximity of targets to one another and
detector response can influence its performance. The RESPONSE
option allows you to select the way the detector responds to
targets and change the way targets sound upon detection.
Response can affect your ability to identify certain targets in
differing circumstances.
Normal
This is the factory preset of the detector in Quickstart and
Advanced modes. Only Advanced mode provides alternative audio
options to Normal. Normal emits a short response to targets
(almost a 'beep') and is recommended for general detecting
conditions. However, it should be noted that Normal has the
potential to miss small targets in areas littered with objects
producing a target response.
Audio 1
This setting is ideal for responding to several targets close
together. Audio 1 offers an almost continuous audio response.
It is recommended for the experienced user who can pick the
differences in tone between various targets. This setting should be
used in combination with display responses. It will help if you
sweep the search coil in different directions to separate the
targets. The tone can be more confusing for the beginner, but it
has the potential to offer greater accuracy and depth.

Audio 2
This setting is similar to Audio 1, with the addition of some filtering
of the audio tone response. Audio 2 reduces the variability of the
pitch, offering a smoother continuous sound.
Audio 3
This setting is similar to Audio 2, with increased filtering of the
audio tone response. This offers more consistent tone for a single
target, but for multiple targets the tones will 'blend'.
NOTE It is recommended you experiment with these settings
once you are familiar with the sounds produced by the
Explorer in the Normal Response setting, then choose
according to conditions and preference.
