AUTO GROUND BALANCE:
The  precision  automatic  ground  balance  system  will  provide 
ground  balance  accuracy  that  exceeds  any  setting  achieved 
manually.  The procedure is quite simple:  After you have set up 
your controls and are back in the search mode, lower the search 
coil to the ground in an area completely void of metal.  Next, press 
the AUTO button and hold it for about 2 seconds. Then, while still 
holding the AUTO button down, lift the coil about 6 inches off the 
ground, hold for a second, and release the button.  The ID Excel 
will give you a brief tone to let you know the ground balance has 
been achieved.  This procedure can be repeated at any time, as 
you change your settings or ground conditions change.  It is fast 
and accurate. If the detector gives you 4 brief tones, it is letting you 
know it has not ground balanced due to the presence of metal 
under the coil. If this happens, move to another location and try 
the auto ground balancing procedure again.
