BEACH
This mode is optimized for use on dry or
wet beach sand as well as for underwater
use up to 5m. (16ft.).
The salt typically present in beach sand and sea
causes the sand and water to be very conductive
generating noise and false signals. Single frequency
detectors cannot work in these environments or they
underperform. Multi frequency can minimize this
noise allowing for maximum performance in these
environments.
For these reasons, single frequency cannot be used in
the Beach mode. When Beach mode is selected, the
device automatically switches to Multi frequency and
single frequency cannot be selected.
There are 2 tones in this mode and the tone break point
is set to 10.
Black Sand
Some beaches are covered with black sand which
contains natural iron. These types of beaches make
metal detection almost impossible. Beach mode senses
black sand automatically and displays a warning icon
on the top of the screen in the info section.
When this icon disappears, the device resumes its
normal operation.
IMPORTANT! After submerging the device
underwater and taking it out, the speaker cover may
be filled with water and the device’s audio may be
muffled. This is normal. In such a case, shake off the
water that’s inside the speaker cover lightly and the
audio will go back to normal.
