Volume Control and On/Off Switch
This control, located at the bottom left of the control panel, is used to adjust a target’s signal
volume in addition to switching the Sovereign GT
On
or
Off
.
When in the fully anti-clockwise position, the Sovereign GT is turned
Off
. Turning the control
clockwise, will "click" the Sovereign GT
On
. Continuing to turn this control in a clockwise
direction will increase the volume of the target signals. At the most clockwise position, the volume
will be set at the "maximum" position. Minelab recommends this position for most circumstances.
However users should be aware that when using headphones, if a large target is detected close
to the surface, the resulting loud signal may cause some hearing discomfort; in areas like this a
lower volume should be selected.
