CHAPTER
Chapter 3 covered some of the basic settings of
VX
3
, such
as sensitivity and audio volume. These were adjustment con-
trols which are used to alter the performance or user prefer-
ences. There are other settings which fundamentally alter the
operation of
VX
3
. We will refer to these as
mode
settings. Dif-
ferent mode settings might affect completely different aspects
of the detector — such as frequency, tracking, and audio — so
taken together they offer a tremendous amount of flexibility to
the user.
While many settings are quickly available on the Live Con-
trol Bar, some of the mode settings require leaving the search
screen and accessing the menus. Each item on the Live Control
Bar has its own menu which can be accessed by pressing the
VIEW
button. Additionally, all modes and settings are available
in the Main Menu, accessed from the Search Screen by pressing
the
MENU
button.
Frequency
VX
3
is a 3-frequency metal detector, but it has the ability to
run in other optimized frequency modes. The available modes
are:
• 3-frequency normal
• 3-frequency salt compensate
• Single frequency 2.5kHz
• Single frequency 7.5kHz
• Single frequency 22.5kHz
The frequency selection menu in
VX
3
looks like this:
