MINELAB'S UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
Two mode detecting
The Explorer is so feature-packed that the research team at
Minelab decided to offer two modes of operation: fully automated
detection (Quickstart mode) and personally customized precision
detecting (Advanced mode).
All of the detector's vital functions are common to Quickstart and
Advanced mode. Because the Explorer is such an innovative
machine, even the seasoned treasure hunter will benefit from
beginning in Quickstart mode.
Quickstart mode
As soon as you have assembled the Explorer, you are ready to
start detecting. When it leaves the factory, the detector is
programmed to start in Quickstart.
Quickstart settings are optimized to provide you with accurate
detection in most conditions you will encounter in the field, so you
can concentrate your attention on the objects you discover.
This manual's Chapter 4: Control Panel, outlines all of the control
panel features needed to use your detector in Quickstart (or
Advanced mode) including shortcut buttons, special functions like
Pinpoint and adjusting your detector settings.
Chapter 5: Quickstart, explains basic use in detail and provides
tips on everything from sweeping the detector coil to digging up
objects.
Advanced mode
Once you are familiar with the feel and functions of the detector, it is

Factory Reset Power On Tune
If at any time you become a little confused with the settings for your
detector, or just want to brush up on basic detector use, it is simple to
reset the Explorer to its original factory settings.
Turn the detector off and then PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON
until a six-note musical tune is sounded (rising C-major chord). The
Minelab logo and the words 'FACTORY PRESETS' will be briefly displayed
on the screen (as shown above).
This will return you to the original Quickstart mode settings. You can
resume basic detecting or make selections from the Main Menu.
