Quick Start
Quick Start offers minimal settings
adjustment and is ideal for new users.
When Quick Start is selected, the Quick
Start Guide sequence starts. This will
guide you through the Quick Start steps
to start you detecting quickly and easily. See page 14
for Quick Start instructions.
Gold Mode
The Gold Mode function allows you to
optimise your detector to search for
specific types of gold.
The available options are:
• High Yield (default)
• General
• Extra Deep
High Yield
This setting is ideal for searching for small
and medium sized nuggets (typically 0.1 –
50 grams) and also has good performance
for detecting larger nuggets in shallow
ground. This mode will provide the most
gold finds and as such it is the recommended mode.
General
This setting provides good all round
performance in detecting nuggets of many
sizes (typically 5 – 50 grams) and at all
depths, however some very small, shallow
targets, and some very deep targets may be
missed.
Extra Deep
This setting is specifically designed for
searching for deeply buried nuggets. Large,
deep nuggets (typically ≥ 50 grams)
produce complex and subtle audio
responses, so this setting should only be used by skilled
operators. Shallow targets may be missed with this setting
when compared to the ‘High Yield’ or ‘General’ settings.
This setting is not recommended for general use.
NOTE
The threshold tone will become silent for
approximately one second once a new Gold
Mode setting is selected.
Perform a Noise Cancel (page 22) and a
Quick Trak (page 27) each time you change the Gold
Mode setting.
The Gold Mode function will automatically change to
High Yield, and will be inaccessible if the Ground Type
function is set to Severe. You will not be able to select a
different Gold Mode until the Ground Type is changed to
either Normal or Difficult.
