4. Components and Controls

Familiarize yourself with the main components and controls of your EXPLORER X I metal detector:

• Intelligent LCD Panel: Displays detection modes, target ID, depth, sensitivity, volume, and battery status. Features an adjustable backlight for dark conditions.
• Power On/Off Button: Turns the detector on or off.
• SENS Button: Adjusts the sensitivity level of the detector.
• PP (Pinpoint) Button: Activates Pinpoint mode for precise target location.
• MODE Button: Cycles through the 6 detection modes.
• '+' and '-' Buttons: Used to adjust settings such as volume, sensitivity, or to select/deselect target types in certain modes.
• Vol/Backlight Switch: Controls the volume and activates/deactivates the LCD backlight.
• Headphone Support: Allows connection of headphones for clearer audio signals.
• Ergonomic Handle: Provides a comfortable grip during use.
• 3-Gear Adjustable Stem: Allows for length adjustment to suit different users.
• 11.8" IP68 Waterproof Search Coil: The detection coil, fully submersible for underwater use (note: control box is NOT waterproof).

5. Initial Setup and Power On

1. After assembly and battery installation, press the Power On/Off button to turn on the detector.
2. The LCD screen will illuminate, displaying default settings.
3. Adjust Volume: Use the Vol/Backlight Switch to set a comfortable audio level.
4. Adjust Backlight: If operating in low-light conditions, use the Vol/Backlight Switch to turn on the LCD backlight.
5. Ground Balance: The detector is equipped with a ground balancing device to minimize interference from ground mineralization. While specific manual ground balance steps are not detailed, the device automatically works to eliminate this impact.

6. Operating Modes

The KAIWEETS EXPLORER X I features 6 professional detection modes. Press the MODE button to cycle through them:

• 6.1. All Metal Mode (A-M)

  In this mode, the detector will respond to all types of metal targets. It is ideal for general searching when you want to find any metallic object.

  

• 6.2. Disc Mode

  Discrimination mode allows you to eliminate certain types of unwanted metals. The detector will not respond to the eliminated targets. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the discrimination level.

• 6.3. Notch Mode

  Notch mode enables you to customize the removal of specific unwanted metal targets. Press MODE to select NOTCH, then use the '+' or '-' buttons to select the target to be notched. The cursor around the selected target will flash, and the target name inside the cursor will disappear, indicating it's excluded from detection.

  

• 6.4. Memory Mode

  In Memory mode, the detector will only respond to a specific type of metal that you have previously memorized. This is useful for searching for a particular type of treasure.

  

• 6.5. Coins Mode

  This specialized mode is optimized for detecting coins. When activated, the detector will primarily identify and signal the presence of coins.

  

• 6.6. Pinpoint Mode (P-P)

  Press the PP button to convert the detector to Pinpoint mode. This mode helps you accurately locate the exact position of a detected target before digging.

  

7. General Operation

Once you have selected your desired detection mode, hold the detector with the search coil parallel to the ground and sweep it slowly from side to side. Listen for audio signals and observe the LCD display for target identification and depth information.

• Sensitivity Adjustment: Adjust the SENS level based on ground conditions. Lower sensitivity for highly mineralized ground to reduce false signals; higher sensitivity for clear ground to detect deeper targets.
• Target Identification: The LCD will display icons representing different metal types (Fe, Ni, Al, Zn, Ag, Gold, Silver) and a Target ID number to help identify the detected object.
• Depth Indication: The display also shows an estimated depth of the detected target.
• Underwater Detection: The 11.8" IP68 waterproof search coil allows for detection in shallow water. However, remember that the control box is NOT waterproof and must be kept dry.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the detector with a damp cloth. Ensure the search coil is free of dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Control Box: Keep the control box dry at all times. If it gets wet, dry it immediately.
• Storage: Store the metal detector in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the battery indicator on the LCD shows low power. Always use fresh 9V batteries.

9. Troubleshooting

No Power:

Check if batteries are correctly installed and fully charged. Replace if necessary.

False Signals/Chattering:

Reduce sensitivity (SENS). Ensure you are not near other electronic devices or power lines. Perform ground balancing. Avoid sweeping the coil too fast.

Detector Not Responding to Metal:

Ensure the detector is in 'All Metal Mode' or a mode that includes the target metal. Check sensitivity settings. Ensure the search coil cable is securely connected.

Inaccurate Target ID:

This can occur with highly corroded objects, multiple targets close together, or deeply buried items. Try sweeping from different angles.

11. User Tips

• Ground Balancing: The EXPLORER X I features an automatic ground balancing device. For best results, especially in highly mineralized areas, ensure you sweep the coil smoothly and consistently to allow the detector to adapt to ground conditions.
• Headphones for Clarity: Using the included headphones can significantly improve your ability to hear faint signals, especially in noisy environments.
• Practice: Familiarize yourself with the different modes and their audio responses by testing the detector with known metal objects in a clear area before going out to search.
