performance.
If you need help, White's Electronics is a phone call or
mouse click away. Your dealer is an excellent resource, and the
White’s web site has a

help forum for questions & answers,
tips, and sharing programs. Go to
www.whiteselectronics.com

forums for metal detecting where you can chat with other
White’s users and ask questions. Finally, look for a detecting
club in your area. Members are often eager to help people get
started, and there is nothing like having that help close by in the
field.
Conventions
In discussing the features of
VX

, we will use
Arial-Bold-
Caps
to distinguish keypad buttons and menu selections. For
example, “press
ENTER
” means to press the “Enter” key on the
keypad, and “select
Enable
” might mean to select the “Enable”
menu option, probably by using the arrow keys to highlight it
and then pressing
ENTER
.

keys and menus work just like a
modern computer graphical interface, so things are fairly intui-
tive.
In some cases, you need to use multiple key combinations,
or combinations with the trigger switch. “Press
MENU, ENTER
”
means to press and release the
MENU
button, then press and
release the
ENTER
button. But “press
MENU+ENTER
” means to
press and hold the
MENU
button, and while holding it down
press the
ENTER
button. Order often matters, so
MENU+ENTER
is not the same as
ENTER+MENU.
If you find that you have acci-
dentally pressed the wrong key or key combo, pulling the trig-
ger switch will usually back you out.
Tip:
Keypad buttons usually take you into menus, trig-
ger gets you out.
