I didn't know that there was a manual as well as semi auto setting for sensitivity on the Explorer II. Could someone tell me how to affect this change?
Thank you

If you want to use semi-auto sensitivity, just look to see if there is a line going around the sensitivity number on the left hand side in the middle next to the display screen. If you see the line circling the number clockwise, the detector is in semi-auto.
If you want to use manual, just push the center button on the left side next to the display screen and you will see the line that was circling the number is now gone. Your detector will be in manual sensitivity now. Using manual you may see your detector start to chatter if your next to any electrical interference. Do a noise cancel first, with the coil off of the ground about 12" and hold it steady until the detector stops cycling through each channel. You will have to adjust the sensitivity down if the detector is still falsing until it is stable. If you cannot get the detector stable, then you will have to try semi-auto sensitivity.
Usually semi-auto will work better and the detector will run more smooth but soil conditions may play a factor in this. You will have to do a noise cancel again and then adjust your sensitivity up or down as you see fit. The reason for using semi-auto is so the detector can adjust it's sensitivity while detecting, in case the ground conditions change from one location to another.
Manual is used in more trashy areas where iron is present and use of a small coil will work better and also a slower swing speed. I hope this is the info you were looking for. Good Luck and HH.
