00:30 - 01:00: Noise Cancellation for Xterra Pro The chapter provides a guide on using the noise cancellation feature on the Xterra Pro. It explains the process of initiating automatic noise cancellation by using the negative, positive, or accept/reject buttons. After completing noise cancellation, it instructs to press the settings button until the ground balance icon appears, followed by holding the accept/reject button until a number is displayed.
01:00 - 01:30: Ground Balancing Process In this chapter, the process of ground balancing is explained. It begins with stabilizing the numbers on the screen. Once the numbers are stable, the 'accept/reject' button should be released. A short press of the same button enables the auto-track mode, indicated by a symbol at the top of the screen. After enabling this, pressing the detect mode button returns the user to the main screen, allowing them to start detecting. The process involves navigating through six different detection modes.
01:30 - 02:00: Detect Modes Overview The 'Detect Modes Overview' chapter explains the different modes available: Park 1, Park 2, Field 1, Field 2, Beach 1, and Beach 2. In the Park and Field modes, you can select from single frequencies cycling through 5, 10, and 15 kHz, whereas in the Beach mode, only an 8 kHz frequency is available. The chapter also hints at the existence of three adjustable levels regarding these modes.
02:00 - 02:30: Selectable Frequencies This chapter discusses the adjustable discrimination patterns available in the system, explaining how different settings like high, medium, and off can be used to manage targets. It elaborates on the use of standard discrimination to eliminate items like iron nails, while also allowing for adjustments to full metal mode.
02:30 - 03:00: Backlight Settings This chapter discusses the backlight settings of a detector and how it aids in identifying iron with standard discrimination patterns. It further explains that the detector can also find other objects like coins and jewelry. The chapter additionally touches on adjusting the discrimination pattern to cancel out specific objects.
