MODE

4 search modes adapted to different ground conditions and target types are offered by RACER.  

Names of the search modes are defined as All Metal, Two Tone, Three Tone and Beach on the 

menu screen. You can easily switch between the modes by using the direction keys during your 

search. See MODES for more details (page 10-11).

Select a setting from the menu by using the 

up/down buttons. The value of the selected 

setting is shown on the display. You can 

change the value by using the + and - 

buttons.

If up/down and +/- buttons are kept 

pressed for a certain period, options and 

values change more rapidly.

If no button is pressed for a while after 

selecting a setting or changing its value, the 

device automatically returns to MODE option. 

Pulling the trigger enables to return to the 

MODE option without waiting.

GAIN

It is the depth setting of the device. It is also used to eliminate the ambient electromagnetic 

signals from the surrounding environment and noise signals transmitted from ground.
Gain setting range is 01-99 and pre-defined for each mode. All modes start at default settings. 

They can be manually modified when necessary. Gain adjustment applies to the selected mode; 

the modified setting does not affect the gain setting of the other modes.
For more details, please read GAIN AND THRESHOLD on page 16.

THRESHOLD

This setting is used to adjust the humming sound, referred to as the threshold sound, which is 

continuously heard in the background in the All Metal mode. It is used to increase the target 

signal, in other words, the depth of the device. For more details, please refer to the section titled 

GAIN AND THRESHOLD (page 16).

ID FILTER

TARGET ID is the number produced by the metal detector based on the conductivity of the 

metals and gives an idea to the user about what the target may be. Target ID is shown with two 

digits on the display and ranges between 01-99.
ID FILTER is the ability of the device to ignore unwanted metals. In other words, the detector will 

not provide a warning tone or a target ID when such metals are detected.  It provides ease of use 

by rejecting mineralized rocks (hot rocks) and metals such as iron and foil.
