Main Menu > Audio > VOLUME
The VOLUME screen of the Audio menu displays two slider
controls: MAX LIMIT and GAIN (Figure 5.15).
NOTE To test sounds upon selection it is necessary to
move the coil across the target.
Max limit
Main Menu > Audio > Volume > MAX LIMIT (adjustment)
This setting is the detector’s overriding volume control. It controls
the ‘loudness’ of a signal response emitted from the detector,
much like the volume knob on a stereo system.
A setting of 0 instructs the detector to be completely silent.
A setting of 10 instructs the detector’s audio to operate at its
maximum level of ‘loudness’.
Lower settings are likely to help extend battery usage time.

AUDIO MENU
Introduction to the Audio menu
Figure 5.14
Main Menu > AUDIO
As mentioned earlier in the section on Audio Response, the
Explorer emits a target signal that varies in volume and pitch
depending on the object it detects. Generally, large targets or
targets close to the ground surface emit the loudest signal.
A target that is less conductive emits a low pitched signal and a
highly-conductive target emits a high pitched signal.
The AUDIO menu allows you to modify the detector’s operating
VOLUME, TONE and define the SOUNDS emitted to lend greater
refinement to audio responses.

Features accessed through the Audio menu allow you to define the various audio
properties of your Explorer.

Headphones
Use of the Explorer with
headphones will allow you to
discern subtle variations in audio
response and lessen exposure to
adverse conditions (i.e. wind)
which may distort sound from the
speaker. Headphones also
minimize disturbance from your
treasure hunting for other people
in the area.
