Discrimination Pattern.
Accept All / Reject All
Allows you to switch between
clearing or filling the whole
Pattern in preparation for
rejecting or accepting learnt
targets.
Volume Icon
This shortcut icon takes
you to the VOLUME
section of the AUDIO
menu where you can
adjust various Volume
characteristics.
Save Icon
This shortcut icon leads to the
SAVE DISCRIM menu where
the current Discrimination
Pattern can be saved.
You may wish to instruct the Explorer
SE to detect targets with very specific
characteristics. It may be that you have
found a particular type of coin which
you would like to find more of, or you
find yourself constantly unearthing the
same types of junk.
The LEARN option instructs the Explorer
SE to accept or reject precisely the types
of targets you do or do not want.
Once saved, your new Discrimination
Patterns can be used by themselves
or in combination with other
Discrimination Patterns in the SELECT
screen (pg. 42).
In time, you may find LEARN one of the
Explorer SE's most powerful features.
For instance, once you have saved
Discrimination Patterns that accept
several unwanted targets, you may
exclude them all from your current
Discrimination Pattern, simply by
rejecting them from the Select List in
the SELECT screen.
In a similar way, you could combine all
of your desired targets into your own
composite Discrimination Pattern.

For the LEARN option to work accurately,
it needs to recognize the same target
characteristics with each pass of the coil.
Check that there are no other targets in
the ground where you will be learning
the target. Move away from other
detectorists or powerlines.
Check for interference (erratic noises
and random movements of the
Target Crosshair). If you experience
interference, press NOISE CANCEL ,
reduce the Sensitivity, or move the
detector to a different area.
It may be useful to perform a Noise
Cancel before learning a target.
