Once a menu option is selected, the setting can be changed using
and .
Not all options are available in all Modes. Here is a description of the Menu
options:
SENS
Adjust the sensitivity from 1 to 10. The higher the number, the more sensitive
the detector. This sensitivity control does not affect Pinpoint sensitivity.
If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being
detected, reduce the sensitivity.
The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that
magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field
that the detector creates is also susceptible to electromagnetic energy (EMI)
produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers, etc…
all produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to beep
when no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.
VOLUME
Adjust speaker volume from 0 to 10. The Volume control changes the loudness
of the audio when targets are detected, and also the loudness of the keypad
presses and warning sounds.
GROUND
Adjust the Ground setting from 0 to 99. This provides for manual adjustment of
the detector's internal ground setting, which you will usually want to set at the
same value as soil's Ground Phase value.
See the Ground Cancelation section of the manual for an explanation of
Ground Phase.
When adjusting the Ground setting manually, the Conductivity Arc across the
top of the display graphically displays both the detector's internal ground
setting and the actual phase of the ground.
- The black segment represents the detector's internal ground setting.
- The opposite end of the faded arc is the actual Phase of the soil.
- If only a black segment is displayed, with no faded segments, then the
detector's ground setting is equal to the soil's Phase.
Note that when adjusting the Ground setting, the displayed setting changes by
1 number only after 10 keypad presses. The detector actually has 1,000
different ground settings to choose from, but uses only 2 digits to display the
number. Reasons for this manual ground cancelation feature are explained in
the Ground Cancelation section of the manual.
The Ground menu option is only available in the All Metal Mode. In all other
modes, the Ground menu option will not appear on the screen.
