ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR

Search Mode Motion Circuitry: In this mode of operation the motion circuitry in the 1236-X2 responds with a 416 Hz tone as the search coil is moved over a target. This makes the 1236-X2 less sensitive to soil mineralization and false target responses associated with the temperature drift and aging of electronic components.

No-Motion Pinpoint Mode With VCO Audio: At the push of a button, the all-metalno-motion pinpoint mode kicks in with VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) audio response for precise target locating. A located target responds with increasing volume and pitch. The tone gets louder and higher, so there’s virtually no doubt when you’re directly over a target.

VOLUME Control: For an extra measure of versatility, we’ve included a VOLUME control so you can set the audio level to suit your needs. You’ll no longer have to buy a special headset with extra controls to adjust the audio level.

FREQUENCY Control: You can vary the transmit frequency of your 1236-X2 from 5.5 KHz to 5.9 KHz. This control allows you to eliminate electrical interference from nearby metal detectors. A must for competition hunting.

User Setpoints And Factory Presets: The SENSITIVITY, VOLUME, FREQUENCY, and DISC controls all have recommended user setpoints that are indicated by a red-colored number on each control’s number dial. These setpoints provide a useful starting point for the new user. In addition, we’ve included a convenient factory preset IRON discrimination setting. When the DISC control is fully rotated counterclockwise to the IRON position, the 1236-X2 is set to reject common iron trash and nails.
