Connecting Your XP Detector

GO TERRAIN offers automatic target saving when connected to your XP detector.

1. Activate Bluetooth on your smartphone.

3. Click on 'Search DEUS/ORX'.
4. Ensure your XP Detector is in 'GO TERRAIN AUTO' or 'PUSH' mode (OPTION > CONFIGURATION > GO TERRAIN).
5. Sweep a target in front of the detector's disc at least three times within five seconds. The app should suggest the detector's serial number for pairing.
6. Click on the serial number to complete the pairing.

Target ID Transfer Methods:

1. GO TERRAIN AUTO: Automatically sends detected target data to the application for saving on the map. Ideal for terrains with low interference.
2. GO TERRAIN PUSH: When the target ID is displayed on the remote control, hold the central button for five seconds to send the target to the application. This allows manual control over which targets appear on the map. Ferrous items (ID 0-19) are displayed as black dots.

Settings

Customize your GO TERRAIN experience through the settings menu:

• Activate/Deactivate Bluetooth: Manage Bluetooth connection.
• Synchronise/Desynchronise XP Detector: Control detector synchronization.
• T.ID Display ON/OFF: Toggle target ID display.
• Ferrous Item Display ON/OFF: Control the visibility of ferrous items.
• GO TERRAIN AUTO Mode: Configure sweep settings for automatic saving (3 sweeps in 5 seconds). The target is sent only if all three sweeps yield an identical target ID.
• PUSH Mode: Inactive by default.

Note: You can use GO TERRAIN to display target ID, especially if you are using the WS6 MASTER helmet.

Only the host can continue the group activity, create new groups, and expand the activity. Other members can view previous group activities using the settings.
