Although the Tracking feature appears under the ALL METAL mode, it is actually a common
feature to all modes so when it is turned on, it becomes active in all modes. The reason it appears
on the left side of the screen only is that the use of tracking is recommended in the ALL METAL
mode and not in the discrimination modes. After using Tracking in the ALL METAL mode, if you
switch to the discrimination modes and do not want to use tracking you need to select it in the
menu again and turn it off.
When tracking is active (01 position), the device continuously tracks the changing ground
structures and automatically reconfigures the ground balance setting. The invisible changes in
ground affects the detection depth as well as the discrimination ability of the device so it is
possible to operate the device at higher performance using this feature under suitable ground
conditions. You can find more details on tracking on page 14.
Tracking
It enables you to adjust the keypad and display backlight level according to your personal
preferences. It ranges between 0-5 and C1-C5. At 0 level, the keypad and display backlight are
off. When set between 1-5, it lights up only for a short period of time when a target is detected
or while navigating the menu and then it goes off. At C1-C5 levels, it will light up constantly. As
the constant operation of the backlight will affect power consumption, it is not recommended.
The backlight setting is restored to the final saved setting when the device is turned off and on
again. This setting is common in all modes; change made in any mode also applies to the other
modes.

defaults. This setting appears on both sides of the screen and has the same function. Save

start up.
