BP: BOOST PROCESS
This process is an enhanced sensitivity version of the dE (default) process. It is
particularly useful when searching for deep targets in a non-trashy area, or on a site
where vegetation makes it necessary to raise the searchcoil several inches above the
surface of the ground. It will also produce excellent results on trashy sites provided that
you slow down your sweep speed; sweep the coil slower than you would when using the
Default process. When the Boost process is selected, the response characteristics of
the Motion All Metal Mode are also modified; these characteristics include less noise and
a slower response speed.
CL: CACHE LOCATING PROCESS
This process is an enhanced sensitivity, slow-speed, version of the dE (default) process.
Its primary use is in locating large deep objects while sweeping the searchcoil several
inches above the surface of the ground; under these conditions it goes deeper than the
other processes. When the boost process is selected, the response characteristics of the
Motion All Metal Mode are also modified; these characteristics include less noise and a
slower response speed. In many situations, you may prefer to do cache locating in the
Motion All Metal Mode after first selecting the Cache Locating process in the Discrimination Mode.
TOGGLE FEATURE
Press-and-Hold the MENU button to temporarily switch to the dE (default) process,
only when operating in the bP or CL process.
The dE process will only be engaged while the button is depressed.
Releasing the button will return you to the process you were operating in.
Using the special BOOST and CACHE LOCATING processes:
In situations where vegetation or other obstacles make it impossible to sweep the searchcoil
close to the surface of the ground, use the enhanced sensitivity of either the Boost or Cache
Locating process to punch through the extra distance to the target. Under most such
conditions, the Boost process will provide the best balance of depth and response. The
Cache Locating process will punch through even more distance to the target, but response is
noticeably slower.
In the Boost and Cache Locating processes, if you sweep fast with the searchcoil close to the
ground, you will lose some target separation. This loss is most noticeable using the Cache
Locating process. Target separation in these processes is comparable to that of the default
process, provided that you slow down your sweep.
Some users, when fatigued after hours of searching, get sloppy with their sweep technique.
The Boost process is more tolerant of sloppy sweep technique than are the other processes
and may be preferred at these times.
