During normal detection, the X-Terra
operates with discrimination patterns. When
a target signal is heard, it is an advantage
to identify the target’s exact position. This
is determined by using
PINPOINT
.
Enabling pinpoint instructs the X-Terra to
temporarily disengage discrimination and
become a non-motion detector. Targets
normally discriminated against will emit a
signal when beneath the coil.
In pinpoint, the detector gives a continuous
audio response as opposed to a single beep
while detecting. This continuous response
indicates the strength of the target signal
directly below the coil.
The pinpoint audio response is tone and
volume modulated. The difference in tone
and volume produced will help in locating
the targets position and depth.

The detector may become noisy if left in
pinpoint. If this occurs, return to normal
detection before trying pinpoint again.
