Noise Cancel 
Minimising electrical interference.
Noise Cancel is a function which 
reduces the effects of some types 
of electrical interference, such as 
power lines, or other nearby metal 
detectors. During Noise Cancel, the detector 
automatically searches for and selects the 
quietest operating channel. 
If the detector is noisy when held stationary, 
use Noise Cancel to reduce interference.
To operate Noise Cancel:
1.  Hold the coil stationary and away from  
the ground. 
2.  Press and release the Noise Cancel button.
3.  Wait for the Noise Cancel process to finish. 
4.  Commence detecting.
The Noise Cancel process will take 
approximately 50 seconds to complete. A series 
of beeps will be emitted during the process, 
followed by four single beeps at completion. 
Threshold
Adjusting the background audio level.
Threshold is the constant audible 
background tone produced by the 
detector. When a target is 
detected the threshold changes in 
both volume and pitch. The Threshold level 
could be considered an audio reference point. 
Small targets or large deep targets may not 
produce a distinct target signal, but may cause 
only a small variation in the Threshold. 
Therefore it is important to set the Threshold 
so it can be heard. If the Threshold level is set 
too high or too low, these small variations may 
not be heard.
There are nine Threshold levels available on your 
SDC 2300. Each press of the Threshold button 
will increase the Threshold by one setting as 
indicated by the LEDs. If the Threshold is already 
at the maximum setting, then pressing the 
button will cycle back to the quietest setting.
