The Menu items are located on the left side of the screen. During normal
operation the Menu is inactive and the text icons are faded. Press to cycle
through the Menu. Each press of moves to the next Menu item and when
active the icon will be bold.
Use ( ) within each menu item to make adjustments. Menu options:
VOLUME
Adjust speaker volume from 0 to 20. The default setting is 7. With a setting of
“0”, the detector will function as normal but it will not emit any sound when
targets are detected.
The F22 has FeTone™, adjustable Iron audio, a feature to reduce the volume
of iron targets to minimize user fatigue.
Volume settings of 10 – 20 are available to control the volume level of the iron
targets. As you increase volume from 10 to 20, iron-volume changes from
silent to maximum. At each of the 10 – 20 volume settings, nonferrous target
response remains at maximum volume. At volume setting 0 – 9 both ferrous
and nonferrous targets have equal volume.
Example: at volume setting 15, nonferrous target volume is maximum, ferrous
target volume is at “5”, or half volume.
SENS
Adjust the sensitivity from 1 to 10, the default is 6. The higher the number, the
more sensitive the detector.
If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects
being detected, reduce the sensitivity.
The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that
magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field
the detector creates is also susceptible to electromagnetic energy (EMI)
produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers, etc., all
produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to beep when
no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.

THE DISPLAY
DEPTH INDICATOR
Coin-sized objects will be detected up to 9” deep. The 3-segment graphic
indicator is calibrated to coin-sized objects.
Depth of Depth of Depth of
Coin-Sized Coin-Sized Coin-Sized
Object Approx. 3-6” >6”
<3”
Objects other than coins will still register on the 3-segment depth scale, but the
depth indication will be relative. For example, all 3 segments illuminated could
indicate a coin buried 9” deep, but could also be a very large object several feet
deep. Use the Depth Indicator in conjunction with the Target Category Icons to
gain more information.
OVERLOAD WARNING
If a metal object or highly magnetic soil is too close to the searchcoil, the
detector will overload and a “
--” will appear on the screen. The detector will
make a rapid, repeating mid-tone warning sound. Overload will not harm the
detector, but the detector will not function under these conditions. If overload
occurs, raise the searchcoil to detect the target from a greater distance, or
move to a different location.
