Select targets list
Figure 5.22, 5.23
As outlined earlier in this chapter, Quickstart provides the option of
identifying targets based upon Smartfind’s two-dimensional
discrimination. If you wish to detect one or more object types it is
necessary to specify which the Explorer should detect or reject.
Choosing SELECT from Quickstart’s MAIN MENU (Figure 5.22)
displays the SELECT target list (Figure 5.23). It is possible to
move down this list using the left middle and lower shift buttons.
The selections, in order of appearance are:
• CLEAR (clears Smartfind screen)
• COINS (non-ferrous coins)
• FE COINS (ferrous coins)
• JEWELRY (rings, bracelets, necklaces)
• FOIL (aluminium foil)
• PULL TAB (aluminium ring from can)
• CROWNCAP (crown seal bottle cap)
• SCREWCAP (screw-on bottle cap)
• NAIL (nails, screws, short lengths of wire, shards of rust)
Once you have made your selection(s) with a tick or cross – as
shown in the following tutorial – press the DETECT button on the
control panel to begin detecting with your new target setting(s).
NOTE When you enter the SELECT menu and make
choices the Iron Mask indicator will be automatically
switched to the OFF position when you return to the
Smartfind screen.
