Are you ready?

!

From this point on, it is assumed that you have familiarized yourself with the Quickstart chapter of this Manual and spent a reasonable amount of time using your Explorer II. If you have not read the Quickstart chapter, please do so before proceeding.

Beginning Advanced use

To enter Advanced mode from Quickstart, press the MAIN MENU shortcut button, select OPTIONS and then ADVANCED. Then press the DETECT shortcut button to display the Advanced Smartfind screen. Pressing DETECT will switch between Smartfind, Digital, Learn and Edit displays.

If you operated in Advanced mode last time you used the Explorer II, the detector will remember this. To enter the Advanced mode when first switching on, press and quickly release the POWER shortcut button.

Any time you want to move from Advanced mode to Quickstart just select the MAIN MENU shortcut button, OPTIONS and then select QUICK. Pressing the DETECT shortcut button will return you to Quickstart’s Smartfind screen.

CAUTION Restoring factory settings by pressing and holding the POWER button erases all current user settings. This does not affect user preferences and discrimination patterns that have been saved (see pages 80 and 87).

Advanced target preferences

The tutorials on the last few pages of Chapter 5: Quickstart provided instructions on composing your own discrimination pattern with combinations of items from the SELECT menu.

Advanced mode offers numerous options to further enhance the accuracy of your detecting. To this end, the following section deals with target options in Advanced mode’s LEARN and EDIT displays before proceeding to other Menu functions.
