Detection Modes
The
Axiom
has four Search Mode options: Fine, Normal,
Large and Salt. Each Search Mode is optimized for
specific types of detecting, as detailed below. The
Factory Default mode is Fine.
Press MENU button until MODE is selected, then use
the Menu Plus (+) or (-) button to select the desired
mode. Press Operate to exit the MENU, or press MENU
to proceed to next menu item.
FINE Mode
Provides the maximum possible detection on small,
low-conductivity targets (such as fine gold and
specimen gold) while also providing the best detection
of most medium and large targets. Because of its
increased sensitivity to small/fine targets, FINE Mode
can be more susceptible to ground minerals, hot rocks
or saltwater. FINE is typically the preferred mode for
most conditions.
NORMAL Mode
Provides very good detection on all size targets.
NORMAL will be less reactive in highly mineralized soil
but will have reduced detection of very small targets.
LARGE Mode
Maintains strong detection of large targets while
reducing small and medium targets. Most important,
this mode reduces susceptibility to highly mineralized
ground and hot rocks.
SALT Mode
Designed for use in mineralized areas with wet salt
content, primarily for wet saltwater beaches. SALT
Mode may also be useful for dry inland salt lakes and
goldfields with high salt concentration, depending on
moisture content. But it is recommended to first try the
other modes for these inland conditions.
Press MENU to highlight MODE, then use Plus (+) or Minus
(-) button to select the desired Mode. Only the selected
Mode will remain on the LCD when the Menu is exited.
