Understanding the LCD Display
The LCD screen on the Treasure Commander TC1X provides a wealth of useful information
that will help you find more treasure while ignoring unwanted trash targets such as
aluminum, rusted iron and the like. The figure above shows all of the information that is
available on the LCD screen; however, not all of the information is provided at all times;
i.e., the information displayed will depend on the mode selected (more on that subject will
follow). The information includes the following:

Battery Life
: The circle in the upper left area of the display shows the strength of
the batteries. New or fully charged rechargeable batteries will be indicated by 4
dark segments. As the batteries discharge, the number of dark segments will
decrease. When only one segment remains, the batteries should be replaced or
recharged.
 Metal Categories : The eight (8) segments that appear in a semi-circle on the LCD
screen provide you with an indication of what a detected target might be.
Categories of commonly found targets - treasure and trash - are provided on the
screen. The following figure shows what types of targets will register in each of the
eight segments. A useful function on the TC1X is the ability to accept or reject any
of the segments independently from each other allowing you to quickly and easily
create a custom program designed to handle any conditions you might come across
in the field.
