Two mode detecting

The Explorer II is so feature-packed that the research team at Minelab decided to offer two modes of operation: fully automated detection (Quickstart mode) and personally customized precision detecting (Advanced mode).

All of the detector’s vital functions are common to Quickstart and Advanced mode. Because the Explorer II is such an innovative machine, even the seasoned treasure hunter will benefit from beginning in Quickstart mode.

Quickstart mode

As soon as you have assembled the Explorer II, you are ready to start detecting. When it leaves the factory, the detector is programmed to start in Quickstart.

Quickstart settings are optimized to provide you with accurate detection in most conditions you will encounter in the field, so you can concentrate your attention on the objects you discover.

This manual’s Chapter 4: Control Panel, outlines all of the control panel features needed to use your detector in Quickstart (or Advanced mode) including shortcut buttons, special functions like Pinpoint and adjusting your detector settings.

Chapter 5: Quickstart, explains basic use in detail and provides tips on everything from sweeping the detector coil to digging up objects.
