EEPROM Programs
Factory Pre-Loaded Custom
EEPROM Programs
Whiteʼs has pre-loaded each of the four custom
EEPROM Program positions for you. These pro-
grams can be erased simply by developing your
own program, starting with any of the nine available
programs, and using the SAVE or NAME feature
(pages 16-17).
The fi rst fi ve Factory Preset Programs are burnt
into permanent memory EPROM (Electronic,
Program-mable, Read, Only, Memory). Although
you can make changes to these programs while in
use, and you can modify and copy/save them to the
EEPROM positions for future use through battery
changes, the Factory Preset Programs will always
revert to their original factory settings. Only the
programs saved in one of the four available EE-
PROM positions will save through battery changes.
Short term memory recall (ON and squeeze and
release the trigger) will maintain changes to a fac-
tory program if a good battery remains in the unit.
To assure you retain special settings it is advised to
Save or Name them in one of the EEPROM posi-
tions. Once you modify and Save/Name a factory
program to one of the EEPROM positions it is no
longer a Factory Preset Program and thus will save
for future use.
EEPROM stands for a special type of electronic
memory chip (Electrical, Erasable, Programmable,
Read, Only, Memory). This memory chip allows the
user to store up to four of their own programs for
future use through battery changes and storage.
To use a custom EEPROM Program Simply;
1. Turn the detector ON and wait for the
Main Menu.
2. Press ENTER to enter the Preset programs.
3. Use ARROW DOWN to scroll down the
Preset Program pages/screens until you see
thecursor beside the EEPROM program
you desire.
4. Press ENTER.
5. Press ENTER again to LOAD the program.
6. Air/Ground Balance and your ready to search
using the program stored in that position.
To store the current settings you are using do the
same thing only instead of LOAD, select SAVE or
NAME. LOAD it when you want to use those set-
tings again. Save or Name if you want to save the
DFXʼs current settings.
The idea is that once you have determined your
preferences for the particular features and settings,
you can store that entire program in one of the EE-
PROM positions and have it ready for use whenever
you desire, without having to go through all the
options. Save your settings for future turn on and go
use.
