Iron Audio and Target Reject
The Iron Audio function works in relation with the TargetID function. It is used to reject
certain metals from left to right on the target scale. A black bar shows which metals will
sound as Iron or will be completely discarded when the detector is in Mono-Tone mode.
To set the Iron Audio, press the + and - buttons while the detector is in working mode. You
will see the right border of the black bar moving left or right.
The default value of the Iron audio is zero (0). At value 0 the iron bar is set between the
Iron and the Foil on the VDI scale. This means targets with ID more than 0 will sound as
nonferrous, and those with ID below 0 will sound as ferrous.
Let’s clarify with an example: if you want to not dig foil, you shall set the black bar to cover
the foil section on the VDI scale. This way the foil will sound as Iron. But please be very
careful on how you use this function to not miss good targets. For example, tiny thin gold
coins are very often identified as foil. If you set the Iron Audio to reject foil, you will lose
also such thin gold coins. Tiny gold jewellery pieces also return an ID in the Foil section.
So, be careful - it’s better to dig some foil than to miss some gold.
If you set the Iron Audio bar at the full-left position (-22), the detector works in All-Metal
mode. This means the sound from all targets will be the same. You can still identify the
target by the VDI number and the SpectrumVDI bars. In All Metal mode, the detector gains
a little bit more depth, but this mode is good only on clean places with very few targets.
Otherwise you will have to constantly look at the screen and this is not quite comfortable.
Turning-on the backlight
To turn-on the LCD screen backlight, just short-press the ON/OFF button and wait until the
LCD is lit and backlight icon appears.
To turn the backlight off, again short-press the ON/OFF button. As simple as that.
When the backlight is activated, a small icon appears below the battery icon on the main
screen to show you switched the backlight on. The backlight does not consume much
power, but is better to not switch it on during the day.
Controlling the LCD screen contrast
You can change the LCD screen contrast. To do this, short-press the ON/OFF button, then
press the - and + buttons within 3 seconds after you’ve pressed the ON/OFF button. If you
don’t press any button within 3 seconds, the backlight will be activated or deactivated.
