Basic Adjustments
4. To NAME,
use the ARROW controls to select
the fi rst symbol, number, or letter of the name and
press ENTER. Use the ARROW controls to select
the second symbol, number, or letter of the name,
press ENTER. And so on using up to sixteen digits.
To leave a space, use the ARROWS to select the
point where no symbol or letter appears and press
ENTER. If you make a mistake and press ENTER
when the digit is not as you desire, simply keep
pressing ENTER until that digit is again fl ashing,
then use the ARROWs to select the correct digit and
again press ENTER. It is wise to name the custom
program something that relates to what it is used
for. For example "TRASHY PARKS", "GHOST
TOWN", "NIGHT HUNT", "COMPETITION", etc.
Once the name is fully assembled press MENU.
5.
Once you have SAVED and pressed ENTER, or
NAMED and pressed MENU, there are four direc-
tions you can go:
A.
Squeeze and release the TRIGGER to con-
tinue searching using your new custom program.
B.
Press ENTER, select LOAD and press
ENTER to continue searching using your
new custom program.
C.
Press MENU to return to choose or develop a
different program than what you stored.
D.
Turn the detector OFF.
6.
When the detector is turned back on, regardless
of whether a battery pack was left in the detector or
not, your custom program will be ready for you to
use again and again. Simply select it, press ENTER,
select LOAD, and press ENTER again. Follow the
on-screen instructions for Air/Ground Balance and
then search.
7.
If you SAVE or NAME a program, then decide
you no longer want to keep it, you can replace it
with a new program using the same procedure
as described above. The old program can only be
erased when a new program is stored in that posi-
tion.
8.
You can NAME a custom program and at a later
date replace the program while maintaining the
same name. Develop the changes fi rst to any pro-
gram, then use the SAVE method which maintains
the old name while storing the new program. To
keep the same program with a new name, fi rst
LOAD that custom program, Air/Ground Balance,
then press MENU and go to that custom position
and press ENTER. Now select NAME and press
ENTER. You can now develop a new name for the
old program.

Program Info
Ground Balance
- When a Custom Program is
stored, the Ground Balance setting last used with
that program is also stored. This has advantages
particularly for those who manually set the Ground
Balance for speciality applications. The automatic
Air/Ground Balance sequence will always override
manual settings. To access the last Ground Balance
setting used with a Custom Program, fi rst select the
desired Custom Program then press ENTER. Select
LOAD and press ENTER. Do not Air/Ground Bal-
ance as the display suggests, simply squeeze and
release the TRIGGER. The last Ground Balance
setting will then be in use. If an appropriate Air/
Ground setting is not available, the instrument will
automatically require a new Air/Ground Balance.
Return ARROW Key
- The last Basic Adjustment
or Pro Option screen used is remembered by your
Custom Program. From the search mode, either
ARROW control will access the last Basic Adjust-
ment or Pro Option screen used. This allows easy
access to the most used adjustment.
