B. Boxing method
The square or boxing method is useful at a close proximity to the target for a precise location. Approach
the target from all 4 sides. To every side repeat the scanning procedure. When readings from all 4 sides
have been taken, move even closer to the target from every side and repeat to narrow down the box.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
For a precise centering, reduce GOLD X-FINDER sensitivity when near the target area, by shortening
the antenna. Doing so, lowers the detection range and the ability to locate small objects is eliminated.
Also the locator operates stable against small scale interference caused for example by electromagnetic
fields or minerals. The maximum range 2500 m. for large objects / 300 m. for a handful of coins / 50 m.
for a single coin is achieved with the antenna extended. When retracted large targets are sensed
at 1200 m. / 150 m. for a handful of coins / single coins are rejected.
RANGE LEVEL SELECTION
To enter the range level selection screen press
and hold simultaneously the DOWN and MENU keys.
The detection range is divided in 10 levels from low
to high that are selectable using the arrow keys.
When selecting higher levels, the batteries will
be drained faster. X-FINDER exits the RANGE LEVEL screen automatically in 3 seconds and stores
your current setting in memory. Preset range level is 9 and will reset with power on.
When the target is in proximity, or the scan area is small use levels 1-3.
For large sized targets at long distances or scanning large areas use levels 8-10.
However since high levels boost power the X-FINDER becomes more sensitive to small targets nearby and
electromagnetic interferences. The range a target is located depends not only to the level selected but
also to target mass and good ground contact. As a rough example using level 10 a barrel sized target
is located at 2500 m. and a coin sized target at 50 m. With level 1 a barrel sized target is located at 300 m
and coin sized targets are ignored. Low range levels can be used for accurate pinpointing when approaching
close to the target, or for locking large sized targets in areas scattered with small and surface trash.
