turning the detector on
It is recommended to only turn the detector
on, when outdoors, away from sources of
electromagnetic disturbance.
There are many metallic objects inside
a house (e.g. nails in the oor, reinforcing in the
walls) that might overload the electronics of
the detector.
There may also be interference from TV
sets and other household appliances. In
this environment the detector may perform
erratically, giving numerous false signals.
If the detector emits an overload sound and
displays OL on the LCD move the coil away
from the source of the overload
(Error Messages, p. 49).
Press Power
A short start-up sequence will display
and a tune will be heard.
Once on, the detector will be in the
factory default Coin & Treasure Mode.
There will be no numeric reading until
a metal object is detected.
Press Mode
to toggle between
Coin & Treasure Mode and
Prospecting Mode.
The Coin & Treasure Mode and
Prospecting Mode symbols will
appear throughout the rest of
this manual to indicate functions
specic to each mode only.
Overloading is not harmful to the
electronics of the detector.
Many of the screen diagrams in this
manual, that refer to features and
settings common to both modes, show
the Coin & Treasure Mode display only.
This illustration is a representation
of the LCD layout showing some of
the icons that appear during startup.
Please note that not all LCD icons are
displayed at the same time.
Detecting Modes
Before detecting, it is important to understand
that the X-Terra 705 can operate in two
dierent detecting modes, Coin & Treasure
Mode, p. 18 and Prospecting Mode, p. 19.
The X-Terra 705 can save separate
settings for each mode. When the
Detecting Mode is changed, the menu
settings that have changed will ash
for three seconds.
For example, if Sensitivity is 16 in Coin
& Treasure Mode and 22 in Prospecting
Mode the Sensitivity icon will ash
for three seconds when switching
Detecting Mode.
