VISTA X INSTRUCTION MANUAL BY DEEPTECH

large ferrous targets will still give a high tone but are easily identified by the strong signal
along with a slight low iron tone at the end of the target when IRON VOLUME is set high.
When your IRON VOLUME is in the far left position (REJ.) your Vista X works in silent
discrimination mode, also classed as single tone mode, so when working in the Disc. Mode
(Silent Discrimination Mode), targets will be discriminated by using the Disc. knob. You will
hear a high tone if the target is outside your discriminated range. If the target is within your
discriminated range there is no sound, depending on the size and shape and conductivity of
the object the detector may emit short audio cracks. The size and conductivity level of the
object that is to be discriminated is increased as you turn the Disc knob to the right

Headphone Jack ¼”
DeepTech recommends the use of headphones. When headphones are plug in, the speaker
is automatically deactivated.
There are many advantages to using headphones:
Improves battery life.
Prevents the sounds from annoying bystanders.
Allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound and faint signals from deep targets
more clearly.
WARNING!
Set your headphone volume prior to placing them over your ears. Ensure that
the headphone volume does not reach an extremely loud level. This may increase the risk
of hearing damage.

LED Battery Control
There is an indicator “Low Bat” on the face plate of the control box. If the indicator lights up
and stays on, the batteries are almost totally exhausted. At this stage, stop detecting and
replace the batteries. If the indicator blinks when a target is detected, the batteries are low.
In this case, it is best to replace the batteries at this time. The average battery life is about
20-25 hours. Extremely weak batteries may the reason for false signals. DeepTech strongly
recommends to use 8 x 1,5 V AA Alkaline batteries. When using rechargeable batteries, we
strongly recommend using batteries with more than 2000mA/H.
