Fixed
Fixed holds the last Ground Balance setting. In ground where 
the mineralisation is consistent, Fixed will provide greater 
depth, sensitivity and sharper target signals; provided that an 
effective Ground Balance is maintained. 
Fixed will provide slightly improved performance but it will 
require you to regularly re-balance (p. 42) when necessary. 
Using the Quick-Trak button is an easy way to do this.
Note: Where possible, always search in Fixed GB to 
maximise depth and sensitivity, and only use Tracking in 
areas with excessive ground noise and/or rapidly changing 
mineralisation, often referred to as variable ground.  
Quick-Trak Button
The Quick-Trak button found on the handle assembly  
allows you to temporarily switch between Fixed and Tracking 
or vice versa. 
The Quick-Trak button only changes the Ground Balance 
position (Fixed or Tracking) while the button is pressed. Once 
the button is released the Ground Balance setting returns to 
the switch position selected on the front control panel.
The Quick-Trak button will most commonly be used to Ground 
Balance the detector, and also to fix or hold the Ground 
Balance setting while pinpointing.
