As outlined earlier in this chapter, Quickstart provides the option of identifying targets based upon Smartfind’s two-dimensional discrimination. If you wish to detect one or more object types it is necessary to specify which the Explorer II should detect or reject.

Choosing SELECT from Quickstart’s MAIN MENU (Figure 5.22) displays the SELECT target list (Figure 5.23). It is possible to move down this list using the left middle and lower shift buttons. The selections, in order of appearance are:

•CLEAR (clears Smartfind screen)

•COINS (non-ferrous coins)

•FE COINS (ferrous coins)

•JEWELRY (rings, bracelets, necklaces)

•FOIL (aluminium foil)

•PULL TAB (aluminium ring from can)

•CROWNCAP (crown seal bottle cap)

•SCREWCAP (screw-on bottle cap)

•NAIL (nails, screws, short lengths of wire, shards of rust)

Once you have made your selection(s) with a tick or cross – as shown in the following tutorial – press the DETECT button on the control panel to begin detecting with your new target setting(s).

NOTE When you enter the SELECT menu and make choices the Iron Mask indicator will be automatically switched to the OFF position when you return to the Smartfind screen.
