Minelab GPX 5000 User Manual

Set the Front Control Panel switches to the
following positions.
Press and release the On/Off switch on the Rear
Control Panel (p. 26).
Raise the coil off the ground and Press the Auto Tune (p. 32)
button to reduce electrical interference. The tuning process
takes approximately 60 seconds. Do not move the coil or
pass metal objects near the coil until you hear 3 beeps.
Turn the Threshold (p. 33) control clockwise until a hum is
audible through the headphones.
Whilst raising and lowering the coil, between 25mm and
100mm (1" and 4") from the ground, change the Ground
Balance switch to Tracking (p. 40). Any variations in the
Threshold will smooth out within 3–5 seconds.
Adjust the Threshold (p. 33) to a very faint but still audible
level. It should be smooth with only minor fluctuations.
