Updates Made:


1. A new level "0" has been added to the Iron Filter (IF) setting in the Park, Field and Goldfield modes. In addition, a new level 9 has been added to the Iron Filter (IF) setting.
There has been no change to the levels 1-8. Level 9 will become handy when trying to discriminate some unwanted mid-conductors such as shotgun cartridges as iron.

2. The Backlight setting has been reconfigured as below:
The Backlight setting’s levels have been increased to 6 from 5. Levels 1-5 in the software version 1.09 is now equal to 2-6 in this version. Level 1 in this version is now the reduced level.

3. The automatic Backlight setting has been reconfigured to work as below:
a) When the automatic Backlight setting was on, the automatic Backlight was not activated when the pinpoint button was pressed to turn on Tracking in the Ground Balance screen. This now has been updated.
b) When the automatic Backlight setting was on, the Backlight was turning off once you exit the Settings menu. This now has been updated so that the Backlight goes off within the normal time-out period.
c) When the automatic Backlight setting was on, the automatic Backlight was not activated when the pinpoint button was pressed in the Notch Discrimination Pattern. This now has been updated.
d) While in Automatic Ground Balance, the auto backlight will now be lit until the ground balancing is completed.

4. M3 multi frequency in PARK mode has been updated to prevent coins from being masked by aluminum foil.

5. Bottle Cap Rejection setting has been added.
When the device is in multi frequency, select the Recovery Speed setting and press the pinpoint button. When you navigate with the right and left buttons, you will see the letters "bC" appear on the right side of the screen. You can adjust the bC value between 1-8 using the + and – buttons. When the bC is 0, it means that it is off.

6. Ground Suppressor setting has been added.
It is used to eliminate false ground signals in tough terrains. To access the setting, select the Recovery Speed setting and press the pinpoint button. When you navigate with the right and left buttons, you will see the letters "GS" appear on the right side of the screen. You can adjust the GS value between 1-8 using the + and – buttons. When the GS is 0, it means that it is off. It is recommended that you leave this setting at off position unless needed.

7. The audio emitted as the Tone Break points are changed while in 60-Tone, has been modified with increased bass.

8. Audio Gain setting has been activated in the Gold Field Mode.

9. Warning tones have been added to the buttons.
The buttons will now emit a warning tone in the following cases:
a) To indicate the minimum and maximum levels of settings.
b) When an inactive setting in a specific mode trying to be activated.
The loudness of the warning tones will work directly proportional to the Volume setting.

10. Bluetooth Chip Version will now be displayed.
When the Bluetooth headphones are paired with the device and the Bluetooth setting is selected, press and hold the Discrimination button. The Bluetooth chip version will be displayed in the clock section. When the button is released, the clock will be displayed again.

11. The loudness of the Volume Level 1 has been reduced in PARK, FIELD and BEACH modes.

12. General improvements have been implemented.

 

Threshold Volume Update

The threshold volume heard through the Bluetooth headphones has been updated to be more linear with the threshold level setting.

     V1.09 - Fifth Update

    Updates Made:

    1. Iron Filter and Stability settings have been added.
    When the device is working in Multi frequency, select the Recovery Speed setting and press the pinpoint button.
    Letters "IF" (Iron Filter) will appear on the right side.

    Iron Filter (IF) setting ranges between 1-8 and the default value is 8. Default value 8 is the same as the previous versions (v1.05, v1.07) Legend with no iron filter setting.
    Lower IF setting will increase the probability of ferrous targets to be classified as non-ferrous targets and vice versa.
    Stability setting (st) is the fine tuning for the IF setting.
    When the IF is set to 8, the st setting will be inactive in the Park, Field and Gold Field modes.
    When the IF is set to any value below 8, the St setting can be activated by pressing the right or left button and can be adjusted by using the + and - buttons.
    NOTE: The st setting in the beach mode is different than this new st setting!

    2. A new multi frequency (M3) has been added to PARK and FIELD modes.
    Ideal for humid, wet and/or conductive soils.
    It reduces the effect of moisture in soils which can cause falses. It also weakens the response of targets generating 10-11 IDs such as coke and aluminum foil.

    3. Tone Pitch has been added.
    In Tone Pitch, as the coil approaches the target, the audio frequency will change in proportion to the signal strength. It can be selected from the number of tones setting and is shown with a P.

    4. Audio Gain setting has been added.
    Audio Gain setting will increase the volume of weak target responses.
    In the PARK, FIELD and BEACH modes, after selecting the volume, press the pinpoint button. Letters AG will appear on the right side. You can adjust the AG using the + and – buttons between 1-6. The default value is set to 3.
    Audio Gain does NOT increase depth.

    5. Mute function has been added.
    On the main screen, press and hold the Frequency button to mute the device.
    Letters "AO" (Audio Off) will appear on the right side. You can unmute by pressing and holding the Frequency button.
    Even if muted, the device will revert back to unmute in the custom discrimination pattern (notch), ground balance and settings menus automatically.

    6. Auto sensitivity drop in the custom discrimination pattern
    When you select the custom discrimination pattern (notch), the sensitivity drops down to 5 automatically. However, if you are using the automatic notch, you may not want the sensitivity to be lowered. In this case, press the Ground Balance button once to revert back to the current sensitivity. Letters "CS" (current sensitivity) will be displayed on the right side.

    7. Hearing the audio through the speaker and the Bluetooth headphones at the same time
    When the Bluetooth setting is selected, if the Bluetooth HPs are paired, press the up button and select 2.

    8. Reverting Back to Factory Defaults
    After selecting the user profile in the settings menu, press and hold the pinpoint button until letters Fd appear on screen. Fd will disappear after 2 seconds.

    9. Discrimination Pattern is now saved.
    Default discrimination pattern for PARK, FIELD, and BEACH has been defined as “F (Ferro-off)” and as “G (Ground-off)” in the Gold Field Mode.

    10. Mineralization Indicator
    In the ground balance menu, press the discrimination button to activate the mineralization indicator. Letter GI (Ground Indicator) will appear on the right side. When you press the discrimination button again, it will revert back to Ferro Check and FC will appear.

    Ground Mineralization refers to the naturally occurring minerals in the ground that affect a metal detector’s performance. There are two main types of ground mineralization: Iron particles and salt such as saltwater beaches. This causes the ground to become conductive. Both produce false signals that mask targets.
    Left side of the mineralization bar shows iron particle mineralization and the right side shows mineralization due to salt. The right side works in multi frequency only!

    11. The selected setting in the settings menu will now blink for easier viewing.
    12. The default threshold frequency level in Park, Field and Beach modes have been changed to 10.
    13. Threshold parameters have been updated in the Park, Field and Beach modes.
    14. Audio during ground balancing has been updated.
    15. Ground balance and pinpoint function parameters have been updated.
    16. ID stability has been improved for changing ground balance values.

    Stability setting (st) is the fine tuning for the IF setting.
    When the IF is set to 8, the st setting will be inactive in the Park, Field and Gold Field modes.
    When the IF is set to any value below 8, the St setting can be activated by pressing the right or left button and can be adjusted by using the + and - buttons.
