Hi Robert.
Right, the infinite turn potentiometer used for the ground balance on the F5 also incorporates a push switch. This push switch feature of the pot is not used on the F5.
This same pot is used on the F75. This push switch feature on the F75 resets the display to detecting mode.

My f5 has two ways to ground balance, one is manually and the other way is automatically. The manual method you can set the balance were ever you want it and the automatically way actually sets the balance to what the ground conditions are. I always use the auto method. I've had my machine now going on two years and no problems at all except the original program wouldn't let it pick up a silver dollar but I sent it back to Fisher and they fixed it free and I had bought the machine used. They really treated me right on that one.
