Target Volume
Target Volume 
The Target Volume controls the strength of target signals 
and at settings above 8 it will slightly increase the volume of 
the threshold as well. This is useful for very windy conditions, 
people suffering from hearing loss, or when using external 
speakers. With the audio amplifier built into the Li-Ion battery 
pack you can plug a speaker directly into the battery, and set 
an appropriate level of amplification using the Target Volume. 
Be aware when switching from headphones to an external 
speaker; you may need to make minor adjustments to your 
Threshold (p. 33) and Volume Limit (p. 52) controls.
The Target Volume can be used as an Audio boost in quiet 
conditions and can also be used to reduce, or smooth out, 
ground noise signals in highly mineralised soils. This is a 
powerful feature and will work in conjunction with the 
Stabilizer control, giving you the ultimate in fine tuning ability. 
A bit of experimenting may be required to find the optimum 
combination in different conditions.
Note: If you are using the Target Volume to control ground 
signals and adjustments to the Rx Gain are required (due to 
a change of coil or location), make sure the Target Volume is 
returned to the Factory Preset setting first. You can then fine 
tune to suit the new conditions.
Tip: A lower Target Volume 
is recommended in high 
trash areas.

The Response function allows you to invert 
the normal pitch combination of target signals 
to different size targets.
Normally, a large/deep target has a falling-
then-rising tonal response and a small/
shallow target has a rising-then-falling tonal 
response. Most targets tend to be small, so 
you can become accustomed to hearing that 
small/shallow target tonal response. If you are 
detecting for deep targets, the response can 
be inverted so that a deep target signal has 
the same response as a small/shallow target.
Small Target Deep Target
Normal
When Normal is selected and a small target is 
detected the pitch normally rises to a higher 
pitch and then falls to a lower pitch. When 
a deep/large target is detected the tone 
normally falls and then rises in pitch.
Inverted
When Inverted is selected and a small target is 
detected the tone will first fall to a lower pitch 
and then rise, and a deep/large target will first 
rise in pitch and then fall.
Response is a personal preference and is quite 
dependant on your hearing.
