Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your metal detector for use:

1. Attach the Search Coil: Securely connect the waterproof Dual-D coil to the lower shaft.
2. Assemble the Shaft: Connect the lower, middle, and upper shafts. Ensure the cables are properly routed and secured around the shaft.
3. Adjust Shaft Length: Use the quick-release lever and locking mechanism on the adjustable shaft to set the desired length (from 19 inches to 51 inches) for comfortable operation. Ensure it is securely locked before use.
4. Attach the Control Unit: Mount the control unit to the upper shaft.
5. Connect Headphones: If using headphones, plug them into the 1/8 inch earphone jack on the control unit.
6. Charge the Battery: Before first use, fully charge the built-in 1500mAh rechargeable battery using the provided charging cable. The battery provides up to 10 hours of runtime.

Operating Modes

The EXPLORER X III offers five professional detection modes to suit various treasure hunting needs:

• All Metal Mode: Detects all types of metals with maximum sensitivity. Ideal for general searching when you want to find everything.



• Notch Mode: Allows you to filter out unwanted targets, such as iron and foil, by discriminating specific metal types. This helps focus on more valuable finds.



• Jewelry Mode: Optimized for finding precious metals like gold and silver, often used to ignore common trash items.
• Memory Mode: Retains your last detection settings for consistent results across multiple sessions or when returning to a previously searched area.



• Pinpoint (PP) Mode: A non-motion mode used to accurately locate the exact position and depth of a detected target, making digging more efficient.

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the control unit to turn the detector on or off.
• Mode Selection: Use the mode buttons on the control unit to switch between the five detection modes.
• Sensitivity Control: Adjust the sensitivity (5 grades, 0-99 double digits) to optimize detection depth and reduce false signals. Higher sensitivity increases depth but can also pick up more interference.
• Volume Control: Adjust the audio volume (3 grades) to a comfortable level.
• LCD Backlight: The monochrome LCD features a backlight for use in low-light conditions.
• Battery Indication: The display shows a 4-grade battery indicator. Recharge the battery when it is low.
• Automatic Shutdown: The machine will automatically shut down after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity, emitting a shutdown prompt tone.
• Coin Depth Indication: The display provides an indication of coin depth at 2", 4", 6", 8", and '+'.
• Target Metals Discrimination: The detector can discriminate between 7 kinds of target metals.
• Signal Strength Indication: A 5-grade indicator shows the strength of the detected signal.
• Sound Frequency: 3 kinds of frequencies indicate different metals.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the detector with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Search Coil: The search coil is waterproof up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) and can be rinsed with fresh water. Ensure the control unit is not submerged unless explicitly stated as waterproof.
• Rain Cover: Use the included rain cover to protect the control unit from rain and dust during operation in adverse weather conditions.



• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly. For long-term storage, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
• Storage: Store the detector in a dry, safe place away from extreme temperatures. The telescopic shaft can be retracted for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your metal detector, consider the following common solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the charging cable and adapter.
• False Signals/Chatter: Reduce sensitivity settings. Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference (power lines, other electronics). Ensure the search coil cable is tightly wound around the shaft.
• No Detection: Verify the detector is in an appropriate mode (e.g., All Metal). Check sensitivity settings. Ensure the search coil is properly connected.
• Inaccurate Pinpointing: Practice sweeping the coil slowly and precisely over the target area in Pinpoint mode.
• Display Issues: If the LCD is dim, check battery level. If unresponsive, try restarting the device.

User Tips

• Ground Balance: Take advantage of the advanced ground balance feature, especially in mineralized soils, to minimize false signals and improve detection accuracy.
• Practice with Known Targets: Before heading out, practice with known metal objects (coins, jewelry) in different soil conditions to get familiar with the detector's responses and audio tones.
• Sweep Slowly: Always sweep the search coil slowly and steadily, overlapping each sweep slightly to ensure thorough coverage of the area.
• Use Headphones: Using headphones can help you hear subtle target signals that might be missed in noisy environments, improving your detection rate.
• Adjust Sensitivity: If you experience excessive chatter or false signals, try lowering the sensitivity. In very clean ground, you can increase sensitivity for greater depth.
• Conserve Battery: Utilize the automatic shutdown feature and turn off the backlight when not needed to extend battery life during long hunting sessions.
