Noise Cancel
When detecting in some areas, the threshold may become chattery or
unstable. This is often caused by electricity or radio transmission and
most commonly of all, other detectors. The noise cancel switch on the
Sovereign GT allows the operator to select a different search band,
which will often overcome this effect.
If detecting in pairs or a group, or when you experience instability due to interference,
switch to the other band to see if this overcomes the problem.
The selection of Band 1 or Band 2 doesn’t affect the performance, strength or sensitivity
of the detector. Its only purpose is to stabilise and lessen the effects of external
interference.
Note:
If there is no interference in the area, the operator is unlikely to notice any
difference between Band 1 and Band 2.

Audio Output
The Sovereign GT has a built in speaker so that the operator can hear the threshold and
target signals. It is however recommended to use headphones as these will allow the
operator to hear faint targets better and cut out environmental noise such as traffic,
others talking or the wind.
The audio output of the Sovereign GT is available through either the in-built speaker or
via a 1/4" stereo headphone jack. When a pair of headphones is plugged in, the
loudspeaker is disconnected.
Headphones are recommended for serious treasure hunting for several reasons: they are
more sensitive to slight target signals than the loudspeaker and their use will increase
battery life. The socket will accept most stereo headphones with a 1/4" jack. If your
headphones have a "Stereo/Mono" switch, set it to "Stereo". Minelab recommends
headphones to be between 32 and 100 Ohms.

8. Digital Target Indication Meter
(available as accessory)
The Digital Target meter has been designed to aid in the identification of metal targets before their
recovery. It provides a digital display of the target ID tones produced by the Sovereign GT
detector, and connects between the search coil and the control box without requiring any
modification to the detector’s electronics.
Note:
The meter has no negative effect upon the operation or overall performance of the detector;
it simply provides easier target recognition. It is also very useful for people with poor hearing.

Installation of Meter
a)
Plug the coil connector (14) into the socket (19) on rear of the meter box (19), winding the excess
cable around the shaft as close to the meter and away from the coil as possible.
b)
Plug the meter cable connector (20) into the control box (2) plug, winding the excess cable
around the upper shaft (4)
(see figure 17).
c)
If hipmounting the control box, secure the meter cable to the shaft of the detector using the
Velcro
TM
straps provided.
d)
Loop the meter cable twice through the belt loop of the hipmount bag before connecting it to
the control box. This reduces any stresses placed on the meter cable caused by hipmounting and
reduces the possibility of failure of the cable. The meter requires no batteries.
