ments.

Coin - Aggressively rejects pull-tabs and trash. Responds to all coins and some rings.

Coin & Jewelry - Less trash rejection than coin - accepts aluminum, responds to most

jewelry, and and all coins.

Salt Beach - Salt subtraction method. Rejects iron and some trash. Accepts aluminum,

responds to most jewelry, coins and rings.

Relic - Accepts Civil and Revolutionary War relics, large iron accepted. Large and small

iron respond with a low tone.

Prospecting - Accepts Gold, Silver and Copper nuggets. Iron ID Uses VCO audio, SAT

and aggressive ground reject. Accepts all metal targets.

Deep Silver - Accepts very high range VDI numbers. Allows max detection of deep

Silver targets.

High Trash - High trash rejection for heavy use in public areas.

Hi Pro - Minimum audio trash reject. Display used for target ID - very high gain levels.

May be unstable in some areas requiring adjustment of Gain and Sensitivity.

Mixed Mode Pro - Combines Audio from Discrimination and All Metal modes plus

Hi Pro options. A relic-hunter favorite.

Meteorite - Detects nickel/iron specic to meteorites by accepting negative VDI

numbers. Most other targets rejected.

Common - Contains Demo Program. Further options in Expert Menu.

Restore - Returns selected Program to factory settings. Use Menu/Tab to select. Push

Enter to restore. See back cover.

Rx Gain - (Pre-Amp) Adjusts receive signal amplication. Affects sensitivity, depth,

Tx Boost - Boosts transmit signal for use in low mineral ground.

CAUTION - prolonged use will increase battery drain.

Probe -

Percentage indicator of signal capacity-

to-noise ratio, and a Best Gain calculation

for MAX performance.

a. Signal % = return from ground.

b. Noise % = external electrical and

ground noise.

c. Best Gain = RX Gain reasonable level

(considering all other current settings).

With the loop on the ground, note “Best

Gain”. Adjust RX Gain to match.

The “preset” factory program settings are always marked with a checkmark or

the value is underlined. When changing Sensitivity on RX Gain, re-

ground balance is recommended - see Ground Balance/Tracking page 9.

Wireless Headphone - Quick Connect

• Select Audio or Zoom Audio

• to Wireless Headphone. Press

• Press to enable x

• Press headphone power button.

• Headphone is connected within ve seconds

when you hear...

Audio Threshold - Adjust volume level of Threshold (slight background hum).

Tone - Target Tone or Pitch. (the “beep” a metal target produces).

Threshold Tone or Pitch - Tone or pitch of the Threshold.

Tone ID - When activated produces a progressively higher pitch keyed to VDI

number.

Tips ...

Discrimination Accept / Reject - Custom setting accept or reject for VDI range.

“X” Box = Accept (detected) - Empty Box = Reject.

Bottle Cap Reject - Adjusts level of Bottle cap signal response.

Hot Rock - Adjusts rejection level of negative pebbles and rocks that are not

silenced by the ground balance system and would sound like targets.

Ground Filter -

Selects one combination set of:

Sweep speeds - Slowest 5.0Hz-7.5Hz-10Hz-12.5Hz (Fastest)

Pass lters - High for moderate to high mineralized ground or

Band for lower mineralized ground.

Select 10Hz-High for best all around performance.

CAUTION - activation of bottle cap or hot rock controls may cause good targets to

break up and/or reject.

Three Frequencies - Best choice for general use. Transmits and receives

2.5 KHz-7.5 KHz and 22.5 KHz at the same time.

Salt Compensate - Receives and displays all frequencies. Uses subtraction

method for saltwater balance.

2.5 kHz - Single frequency. More sensitive to high conductive metals,

Silver/Copper.

7.5 kHz - Single frequency. Sensitive to all types of metals.

22.5 kHz - Single frequency. Most sensitive to small and/or low conductive metal,

Gold/Nickel.

Frequency Offset - Tunes out unwanted external signals by selecting one of 5

positive or 5 negative offsets. Aids in avoiding other metal detector signals and

other electrical interference. Offsets apply to single or combined frequencies.

Frequency

Zoomed Frequency Control -

• Allows advanced frequency methods

and display.

• Use “Help Balloons”, (trigger forward),

and advanced manual for more infor-

mation on Best Data/Correlate.

Using a single frequency can increase

the sensitivity to certain classes of met-

als by concentrating all available energy

to a single transmit frequency.

Tips ...

Moreover, 22.5 kHz is more sensitive to small and low-conductive targets like

gold. 2.5 kHz works best for high-conductive targets like silver coins. Preset

progams Prospecting and Deep Silver use the single frequency method. (Pros-

pecting 22.5 kHz and Deep Silver 2.5 kHz.) When changing frequencies a

re-adjustment of Sensitivity and ground balancing is necessary.

For best results, instrument start up should be followed by a manual ground balance.

Pull and hold trigger, then press and hold enter while pumping loop up and down

over the ground until threshold is smooth. Release enter then release trigger. Also

helpful as an option to check tracking from any search mode.

Report - ON (“X” in box) Activates ground tracking indicator arrows on display reports

(indicates) the automatic increasing or decreasing of the ground balance point.

Inhibit - ON (“X” in box) When on, delays the point automatic tracking begins to

adjust to the ground. Helps in iron infested ground. Use off in widely variable ground

with little or no iron to allow immediate tracking.

Speed - Adjust the rate of ground tracking – higher numbers “track” faster to changes

in the ground.

Offset - Manually moves ground balance point from perfect balance. Positive offset

often used in highly mineralized ground to enhance low conductive and small (gold,

silver, coins) targets in radically changing noisy ground.

Locktrac - Locks ground setting. Turns off all tracking. Turn ON and use manual

method above. Best used for repeatable responses on very deep targets, and rejec-

tion of difcult minerals.

Ground Probe -

Provides helpful information -

• To determine the severity of ground

(weak ground vs strong ground).

• Targets can also be analyzed for VDI

number, phase and target strength at

each frequency. To use - (from Zoomed

Live Control) Menu/Tab to Zero and press

Enter with loop in air. Hold loop on the

ground or target to read results.

To access Information/Congure press MENU twice in succession. To Exit squeeze

and release trigger on hand grip twice.

Backlight - Spectra backlight is preset to maximum

brightness (setting 20).

Battery life is signicantly increased by

reducing brightness or turning off backlight (setting 0).

Battery - Check battery voltage. Charge or replace soon at 8V or less.

Owner Registration - Embeds owner name and contact info.

To Register -

Tab to “owner’s name”. Use to select letters - to select

next digit. To space, choose any blank space. Press ENTER for key

board - trigger to back up.

NOTE: Record your unit’s unique password and serial number in a safe place.

To protect the owner, the password will not be visable after registration is

complete - and plus to save.

Information/Congure

Pg 10

Standard Battery - The standard battery holder holds eight “AA” cell batteries.

Alkaline batteries are recommended.

NiMH Rechargeable Battery - The included “Smart Charger” senses the type

of charge the battery needs and automatically adjusts the charge cycle. From

complete discharge, this system provides a full charge in as little as 2-3 hours.

A full charge will last 6-12 hours of normal use. An “Unhappy Battery Icon” will

automatically appear on the search display when the battery approaches eight

volts. When the battery voltage gets exceedingly low, Spectra will begin to act

erratically and automatically shut down.

Charging - To charge the NiMH battery pack, plug the charger into a standard

wall outlet. (110 volts for USA models, 220 volts for UK models). Insert the bat-

tery pack into the cradle and plug the charger plug into the back of the cradle.

Green and red lights should glow. During charge it is normal for the battery

and charger to get warm. If either gets hot or deforms due to the heat, discon-

tinue use and return for testing. When the red light goes off the battery is fully

charged and ready for use. Leaving the battery in the charger for longer periods

does no harm.
