Power
Figure 4.1
The POWER button turns the Explorer on and off and also allows
you to specify operation in the detector’s last manual setting.
NOTE The first time you turn on the detector it will start
up with factory presets as the most recent manual setting.
To start the detector in factory preset mode:
• Press and hold the POWER button until a six-note musical tune
is sounded. The Minelab logo and the words ‘FACTORY
PRESETS’ will be briefly displayed on the screen.
To start the detector with its previous manual setting:
• Press and release the POWER button. This will start the
detector with the previous settings from when the detector
was last used (e.g. target specifications, sensitivity levels,
etc) and you may proceed with detecting or modifying
detector settings.
Backlight (only available on Explorer XS)
Figure 4.2
Pressing the BACKLIGHT button turns the light behind the
Explorer display screen on or off. Contrast can be adjusted to suit
via the Main Menu (detailed in Chapter 5: Quickstart). Turning this
light off will extend battery life. Whenever the detector is switched
on, the backlight illuminates for the first 5 seconds.
