CONTROL FUNCTIONS

A faint tone indicates weak batteries and no tone

means that it’s time for a battery change.

4. VOLUME: This control switches the 1236-X2 on and

off and controls the volume of the audio response.

A setting of 10 provides maximum audio signal

volume.

5. FREQUENCY: This control changes the operating

frequency of the 1236-X2 to eliminate interference

from nearby detectors. Set it at 0 for normal

operation. To eliminate signal interference (usually

a pulsing or “motor boating” sound) simply increase

it (+) or lower it (-) slightly. Do not operate at a

higher or lower frequency level than necessary as

you may experience a slight loss of depth in highly

mineralized ground.

6. HEADPHONES: This jack accepts most stereo and

mono headphones with quarter inch plugs. Set your

headphone to stereo.

7. PINPOINT: When pushed and held, this button

switches the 1236-X2 into the No-Motion, All-Metal

Pinpoint mode. A located target responds with

increasing volume and pitch. Under certain

conditions, you may get interference from a nearby

detector in the Pinpoint mode but not in the Search

mode. In this case, release the PINPOINT button

and reset the FREQUENCY Control to another

noninterference position. Do not adjust the

FREQUENCY Control while the PINPOINT button is

pushed in.
