64.
Set the BOOST switch on the rear panel to the normal position.
65.
Set the TONE control on your Minelab detector to the minimum low position
66.
Set the THRESHOLD control on your Minelab detector to a midway (twelve o’clock) position.
67.
Set the SIGNAL control on the rear panel to the maximum position.
68.
Set the VOLUME control on the rear panel to maximum.

Now switch the MASTER POWER switch on Super Fix’s rear face panel to the SD/GP Mode.
Super Fix has a built in soft start feature which eliminates the normal loud burst of audio to
headphones and inbuilt speaker, and after initial power up you should now hear an audio output
from the speaker and also from your headphones if they are connected..
70.
Press and then release the TUNE control on the front panel to automatically reduce electrical
interference as normal.
71.
Should the interference frequency be unstable and slowly changing, producing a slow beat
note, (this will cause Super Fix to give false signals) using the manual TUNE Control, reset the
frequency to a position where a fast interference beat note is continually heard (Super Fix will
then eliminate the interference).
72.
Set the IRON DISCRIMINATE switch on the front panel to All Metal.
73.
Set the SOIL switch on the front panel to normal.
74.
Ground balance the detector as normal using the standard automatic ground balance procedure.
Preferably if ground conditions permit switch the SEARCH control to the fixed position to
operate.

Now go to section
(C) Super Fix Settings
(C) Super Fix settings
At this stage you should already have the following Super Fix settings :-
1. The M\LAB - S\FIX MODE switch situated on the top of Super Fix’s front face panel switched to
the M\LAB position.
2. The SPEAKER switch situated at the top of Super Fix’s rear face switched to the ON position.
3. The MASTER POWER switch on Super Fix’s rear face panel to one of the ON positions, either
the SD2000 Mode or the alternative SD/GP Mode for all other models.
Now switch the MODE switch at the top of SuperFix’s rear face panel to the S\FIX Mode position.
Set the three position CHANNEL selection switch to the centre BOTH position. If you are using
stereo headphones plugged into one of the stereo sockets, you should now be able to hear high
tones (small targets) from one ear and low tones (large targets) from the other ear. You will only
hear a mono output from the speaker, mono headphones, or stereo headphones which are plugged
into your original headphone socket, but you will still hear both high and low tones.
Using Super Fix’s THRESHOLD control set the threshold to the audio level where you wish to
operate the detector. Super Fix does not lose any sensitivity if the threshold is set to run silent,
however, if you intend to use Super Fix’s unique tone null feature, the threshold should be set to a
level so that a null may be heard when passing over a target.
You are now ready to begin detecting
Set the SENSITIVITY control to an approximately 8 O’clock as a starting position - the correct
setting of this control is most important and may need readjusting as described under the heading
(D) Operating Super Fix - Item 7.
If you do not intend to use the inbuilt speaker, the SPEAKER switch situated at the top of Super
Fix’s rear face may now be switched to the OFF position.
