Rx Gain – (Pre-Amp) Adjusts receive signal amplification. Affects sensitivity, depth,

Tx Boost – Boosts transmit signal for use in low mineral ground.

CAUTION - prolonged use will increase battery drain.

Discrimination – Adjust post amp signal strength after discrimination filter process.

All Metal - Adjust detection signal in All Metal circuit. Effects depth and width of

target response.

Probe -

Percentage indicator of signal to noise

ratio and a Best Gain calulation for MAX

performance.

a. Signal % = return from ground.

b. Noise % = external electrical noise.

c. Best Gain = RX Gain reasonable level

(considering all other current settings).

With the loop on the ground, note “Best

Gain”. Adjust RX Gain to match.

The “preset” factory program settings are always marked with a checkmark or

the value is underlined.

Discrimination Accept / Reject – Custom setting accept or reject for VDI range.

“X” Box = Accept (detected) - Empty Box = Reject.

Bottle Cap Reject –Adjust level of Bottle cap signal response.

Hot Rock – Adjust rejection level of negative pebbles and rocks that are not

silenced by the ground balance system and would sound like targets.

Ground Filter -

Selects one combination set of:

Sweep speeds- Slowest 5.0HZ-7.5HZ-10HZ-12.5HZ (Fastest)

Pass filters- High for moderate to high mineralized ground or

Band for lower mineralized ground

Select 10HZ-High for best all around performance.

CAUTION - activation of bottle cap or hot rock controls may cause good targets to

break up and/or reject.

Three Frequencies – Best choice for general use. Transmits and receives

2.5 KHz-7.5 KHz and 22.5 KHz at the same time.

Salt Compensate – Receives and displays all frequencies. Uses subtraction

method for saltwater balance.

2.5 KHz – Single frequency. More sensitive to high conductive metals,

Silver/Copper.

7.5 KHz – Single frequency. Sensitive to all types of metals.

22.5 KHz – Single frequency. Most sensitive to small and/or low conductive metal,

Gold/Nickel.

Frequency Offset - Tunes out unwanted external signals by selecting one of 5

positive or 5 negative offsets. Aids in avoiding other metal detector signals and

other electrical interference. Offsets apply to single or combined frequencies.

Zoomed Frequency Control -

• Allows advanced frequency methods

and display.

• Use “Help Balloons”, (Trigger forward),

and advanced manual for more infor-

Using a single frequency can increase

the sensitivity to certain classes of met-

als by concentrating all availale energy to

a single transmit frequency.

Tips ...

Moreover, 22.5 Khz is more sensitive to small and low-conductive targets like

gold. 2.5 Khz works best for high-conductive targets like silver coins. Preset

progams Prospecting and Deep Silver use the single frequency method. (Pros-

pecting 22.5 Khz and Deep Silver 2.5 Khz.) When changing frequencies a

re-adjustment of Sensitivity may be necessary.

For best results, instrument start up should be followed by a manual ground balance.

Pull and hold trigger, then press and hold enter while pumping loop up and down

over the ground until threshold is smooth. Release enter then release trigger. Also

helpful as an option to check tracking from any search mode.

Report - ON (“X” in box) Activates ground tracking indicator arrows on display reports

(indicates) the automatic increasing or decreasing of the ground balance point.

Inhibit – ON (“X” in box) When on, delays the point automatic tracking begins to ad-

just to the ground. Helps in iron infested ground. Use off in widely variable ground

with little or no iron to allow immediate tracking.

Speed – Adjust the rate of ground tracking – higher numbers “track” faster to

changes in the ground.

Offset – Manually moves ground balance point from perfect balance. Positive offset

often used in highly mineralized ground to enhance conductive (gold, silver, coins)

targets.

Locktrac – Locks ground setting. Turns off all tracking. Turn ON and use manual

method above. Best used for repeatable responses on very deep targets, and rejec-

tion of difficult minerals.

Ground Probe -

Provides helpful information -

• To determine the severity of ground

(weak ground vs strong ground).

• Targets can also be analyzed for VDI

number, phase and target strength at

each frequency. To use - (from Zoomed

Live Control) Menu/Tab to Zero and press

Enter with loop in air. Hold loop on the

ground or target to read results.

To access Information/Configure press MENU twice in succession. To Exit squeeze

and release trigger on hand grip twice.

Backlight - Backlight level - 0 = OFF, 20 = BRIGHT.

CAUTION - Backlight use will cause a slight increase

in battery drain.

Battery - Check battery voltage. Charge or replace soon at 8V or less.

Owner Registration - Embeds owner name and contact info.

To Register -

Tab to “owner’s name”. Use to select letters - lower case and

upper case. To backup, squeeze trigger and “write over”. To space,

choose any blank space and press enter.

NOTE: Record your units unique password and serial number in a safe place.

To protect the owner, the password will not be visable after registration is

complete - and plus to save.

Metric Units - Selects Metric Units.

Standard Battery - The standard battery holder holds eight “AA” cell batteries.

Alkaline batteries are recommended

NiMH Rechargeable Battery - The included “Smart Charger” senses the type

of charge the battery needs and automatically adjusts the charge cycle. From

fully low this system provides a full charge in as little as 2-3 hours. A full charge

will last 6-12 hours of normal use An “Unhappy Battery Icon” will automatically

appear on the search display when the battery approaches eight volts. When

the battery voltage gets exceedingly low, Vision will begin to act erratically and

automatically shut down.

Charging - To charge the NiMH battery pack, plug the charger into a standard

wall outlet. (110 volts for USA models, 220 volts for UK models). Green light

should glow. Insert the battery pack into the cradle and plug the charger plug into

the back of the cradle. Red light should glow. During charge it is normal for the

battery and charger to get warm. If either gets hot or deforms due to the heat,

discontinue use and return for testing. When the red light goes off the battery

is fully charged and ready for use. Leaving the battery in the charger for longer

periods does no harm.
