  | Sensitivity control | 
  | |
  | The sensitivity bar indicates how responsive the detector is to a  | 
  | |
  | target in the presence of ground noise and/or electromagnetic  | 
  | |
  | interference.  | 
  | |
  | The degree of sensitivity is increased by pressing the top shift  | 
  | |
  | button and decreased by pressing the bottom shift button (on the  | 
  | |
  | left side of the control panel). Pressing the center left shift button  |
