Noise Cancel
Clearing saved patterns
It is normal for the tip of the rechargeable battery to get warm while charging because the current regulator is mounted inside the battery pack.
Using headphones extends battery life. The speaker draws significant current from the battery for short amounts of time. Using the headphones when the battery voltage is low (when the battery indicator’s level starts decreasing) helps in getting the most out of the battery.
It is best if you perform a Noise Cancel with the search coil in the position used for detection. This is because the interference picked up in a vertical position can be different from the interference picked up in the horizontal orientation.
In competitions, where several Explorer IIs have to work nearby, it might be best to select the channels manually.
If you want to know what channel has been chosen by the detector after a Noise Cancel, go into the Advanced mode in Main Menu > Options > NOISE and look at the number displayed. If you do a Noise Cancel while in that menu, you have to go out of the menu and back to get the new channel number.
If you want to clear one or more patterns from the SAVE DISCRIM menu, do the following:
STEP 1 Go to SELECT menu and select CLEAR.
STEP 2 Go to the SAVE menu and save cleared screen into the locations you want.
