IRON THRESHOLD________________________________

The Gold Maxx Power is still "multi-tone" detectors,
but users can now adjust the iron level setting by using
the IRON THRESHOLD potentiometer.
This potentiometer can be viewed as a detection
setting with a range only covering iron. It has fine-
tuning settings ranging from 0 to 20.
At 0, all iron sounds at medium pitch. The higher the
setting, the lower the pitch for detected iron.
This, for example, enables small nails just to be picked up at a low
pitch, whereas larger ones will be detected at medium pitch.
As you will doubtless already know, too high a level of
discrimination can hinder the performance of a detector.
This setting was previously only arbitrarily preset to be suited to the
majority of users. But most of the time, beginners do not want iron
to register on their machines, whereas more advanced users prefer
to have this detection option to make it easier to pinpoint coins on
difficult terrain.
Use the Auto mode if you do not wish to trouble you
about the parameter setting of this potentiometer, it will
allow you to have a comfortable rejection of ferrous.
By default, the Gold Maxx Power is a triple-tone
detector, but users can set it to double tone
mode using a SILENCER switch:
Switch the SILENCER from position I to position II twice
within the space of two seconds. Your machine will
then be in Double-Tone LOW / MEDIUM mode, or in
MEDIUM Mono-Tone mode if the IRON THRESHOLD
potentiometer is set at minimum.
