4 TONE AUDIO SYSTEM
The four-tone audio system provides you with more information 
per sweep, acting as a target I.D. system in the “discrimination” 
mode.  While sweeping the ID Excel search coil over a target, you 
will  hear one of four tones:
    LOW TONE = Iron objects (ferrous)
    LOW/MID TONE = Foil, Nickel, Round Tabs
    MID/HIGH TONE = Square Tabs, Zinc Pennies
    HIGH TONE = Copper, Clad, Silver Coins
If a bell tone audio is heard, accompanied by an “OL” on the 
LCD, the coil has encountered a larger or shallow target and the 
search coil must be lifted to avoid overload and inaccurate I.D. 
When hunting in the ALL Metal mode, a single tone will be heard 
for any metal object the coil is swept over. This mode responds 
much like the “auto tune”mode of previous detectors.
Pinpointing
When the P/P (Pinpoint) button is pushed and held, the non-motion 
pinpoint mode is activated. This pinpoint mode may be familiar in 
some ways (when the target is approached, the audio intensity 
increases), but different in others (the digital numeric indicator). The 
two digit (0-99) LCD will help you to accurately pinpoint your target 
by increasing in value as the center of the target is approached. 
This gives you much more resolution in pinpointing than a “depth 
estimation” system, and allows you to characterize size, shape, 
and location of your  target better.
