5.1.2 Display Brightness / LED Light

The illustration  5.4  shows the Display Brightness knob. Use this control to either dim or brighten the 

monitor. For working with the unit during the day most will adjust the monitor and make it very bright.  
During the evening, the monitor can be dimmed. When the unit is dimmed to the low setting, the LED 

light will illuminate to assist you for night searches. When it is to the lowest setting then all illumination 
will be turned off (no LED light and no monitor display).

5.1.3 Monitor Display

After   turning   on   the   detector   the   Monitor   Display   will 

show the main screen accordingly to illustration 5.5. The 
main screen shows the signal curve as well as all of the 

sub-screens for the search controls. In a single instance 
one can see the other settings instantly. When one of the 

other controls are moved, the screen will automatically 
change to the setting that is being changed.

5.2 Search Controls

In illustration 5.6, the controls on the left side of the unit are shown. These are your primary controls to 
ground balancing the unit. Half of the ground balancing process has been automated simplifying the 

task of ground balancing the unit.

By using these controls you will adjust the search coils to specific soil conditions.
