3. The P/P (Pinpoint) button is used to return to the search mode 
after  you  set  all  your  current  settings  when  it  is  pushed  and 
released.    As  mentioned  above,    If  the  P/P  (Pinpoint)  button  is 
pushed and held while hunting, the Precision Visual Pinpoint Mode 
will be activated. 
4. The MODE button enables you to toggle between two operating 
modes: a “true” all metal detecting mode or, with an advanced 
discrimination  system  activated.  To  switch  betweeen  the  two 
modes while hunting, press the arrow down/mode button.
Fisher  recommends  that  for  a  quick  start  setup  and  while  you 
are learning to hunt with your ID Excel that you use the factory 
preset mode.  Factory  preset  mode can be  set  by  pressing  the 
MENU button until the FP icon fl ashes on the LCD display. When 
the  FP  appears,  press  and  hold  the  P/P  (Pinpoint)  button  until 
you hear a brief tone. This activates the factory preset setting of 
discrimination at +5 to reject ferrous targets and Sensitivity at 6 in 
the disc mode.
