1. The standard battery holder (blue decal) holds eight AA cell batteries. Alkalines are recommended for use with this model. 2. Non-alkaline batteries can be used in this holder. When non-alkalines or rechargeable AA cells are used, detecting time (before replacement/ recharge) may be reduced. 3. "LOW BAT" will automatically appear on the display when the batteries become too low to properly operate the detector. 4. The battery compartment opens by gently pulling down on the front of each of the two latches (on the bottom of the control box) releasing the catch and hinging open the door. The non-rechargeable battery holder can use many different types of batteries, including rechargeable. This holder is designed for standard size penlight "AA" batteries which should be 50 mm .10mm. Battery lengths shorter than this will likely cause problems with this power supply.
When the instrument is turned on the battery voltage will momentarily appear after the opening display. The detector will then continue to the MAIN MENU. To recheck the battery voltage during operation, squeeze and hold the TRIGGER and press the ARROW DOWN control.
TRIGGER UNDER DISPLAY POD
Using the Standard Battery Holder
1. Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of battery holder) by applying gentle upward pressure on the tab of the door so that it unlocks. Slide the door away from the battery box exposing the cell positions. 2. Remove any old cells from the holder. Note the (+) and (-) positions of each cell and the (+) and (-) for each position marked inside the cell tray. Install new AA cells noting carefully the correct (+) and (-) positions. If the cells are installed incorrectly, the detector may require service by an Authorized Service Center.

3. Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely. 4. Insert the battery holder into the detector so that the decal is facing down, with the battery holder door tab and metal contact points facing toward the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment door and secure the two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook the front of each latch first, then press down on the rear. A rechargeable battery (green decal) is provided with your instrument. This battery can be recharged hundreds of times as long as the battery hasn't been stored for extended periods of time or overcharged. Full charge can be achieved anytime during the discharge cycle. When using the QUICK charger setting use the Charging Hours chart on the following page for charge time. A full charge will last ten to fifteen hours of normal use. Battery life will vary with temperature, the number of targets found, and the exact settings used. Six hours is not unusual for extreme high performance settings, backlight use, or for batteries that have experienced extensive use. Your charger has a switch on it that selects the QUICK charge, or OVERNIGHT charger options. Always check the position of this switch prior to charging. Always follow the charge hours on the chart on the following page when the QUICK charge setting is used. Over-charging with the QUICK charge setting will damage the system.

"Hot Key" Shortcuts
"HOT KEYS" will save time as they allow easy access, from the search mode, to the most needed adjustments. They are painted on the bottom of the control box for field reference. COIN PROGRAM - Squeeze & release TRIGGER after automatic battery check. SCROLL OPTION - After battery check, use ARROWS to scroll all the current settings / menus. AIR/GROUND BALANCE - In search mode, press ENTER to re-Air/Ground Balance. GROUND BALANCE ONLY - While searching, hold the TRIGGER and press ENTER. BATTERY CHECK - While searching, hold the TRIGGER and press ARROW down. Sqeeze and release TRIGGER to return to searching. REVERSE DISPLAY - While searching, hold the TRIGGER and press ARROW DOWN. Press ARROWs for light/dark background. Light or dark background will not change battery life. It will make the display easier for some to read, particularly in certain light conditions. It will work in combination with backlight. Reversed display is only accessible through the "HOT KEYS". BACKLIGHT - In search mode, hold TRIGGER and press MENU. Release TRIGGER, press ARROWS to set. VIEW ANGLE - While searching, hold the TRIGGER and press ARROW up. Release TRIGGER, press ARROWS to set.
Custom Programs - Saving your Basic and Pro Option adjustments for future use.
Save custom settings in any one of four custom program positions. They will remain permanently in the XLT memory regardless if the machine is turned off or the battery removed. Custom Programs can be changed at any time by saving new settings over a previously saved custom program.

Use the ARROW controls to select one of the four Custom Programs then press ENTER. 3 3. You now must make one of three choices (use the ARROW controls to make your selection):

PRESS ENTER FOR PRESET PROGRAMS
SCROLL DOWN WITH ARROW KEYS
A. LOAD will activate a prior custom program stored in that position. After you have SAVED or NAMED a program, you can select LOAD and press ENTER, to use that program. B. SAVE saves your current settings in that custom position with either a generic name or a prior custom name you may have applied. Selecting SAVE and pressing ENTER saves the current program. C. NAME is the preferred method. Select NAME and press ENTER. You may now use the ARROW and ENTER controls to name your custom program. NAME automatically SAVES, once you have chosen a name and pressed MENU.
PROGRAMS PG. 2/3 RELIC PROSPECTING CUSTOM PROGRAM 1

PRESS ENTER

C.P. OPTIONS PG. 1/1 LOAD SAVE NAME
4 To NAME, use the ARROW controls to select the 4.
first symbol, number, or letter of the name and press ENTER. Use the ARROW controls to select the second symbol, number, or letter of the name, press ENTER. And so on using up to sixteen digits. To leave a space, use the ARROWS to select the point where no symbol or letter appears and press ENTER. If you make a mistake and press ENTER when the digit is not as you desire, simply keep pressing ENTER until that digit is again flashing, then use the ARROWs to select the correct digit and again press ENTER. It is wise to name the custom program something that relates to what it is used for. For example "TRASHY PARKS", "SMALL LOOP", "GHOST TOWN", "NIGHT HUNT", "COMPETITION", etc. Once the name is fully assembled press MENU. 5. Once you have SAVED and pressed ENTER, or NAMED and pressed MENU, there are four directions you can go: A. Squeeze and release the TRIGGER to continue searching using your new custom program. B. Press ENTER, select LOAD and press ENTER to continue searching using your new custom program. C. Press MENU to return to choose or develop a different program than what you stored. D. Turn the detector OFF. 6. When the detector is turned back on, regardless of whether a battery pack was left in the detector or not, your custom program will be ready for you to use again and again. Simply select it, press ENTER, select LOAD, and press ENTER again. Follow the onscreen instructions for Air/Ground Balance and then search. 7. If you SAVE or NAME a program, then decide you no longer want to keep it, you can replace it with a
new program using the same procedure as described above. The old program can only be erased when a new program is stored in that position. 8. You can NAME a custom program and at a later date replace the program while maintaining the same name. Develop the changes first to any program, then use the SAVE method which maintains the old name while storing the new program. To keep the same program with a new name, first LOAD that custom program, Air/Ground Balance, then press MENU and go to that custom position and press ENTER. Now select NAME and press ENTER. You can now develop a new name for the old program.

Other Custom Program info
Ground Balance - When a Custom Program is stored, the Ground Balance setting last used with that program is also stored. This has advantages particularly for those who manually set the Ground Balance for speciality applications. The automatic Air/Ground Balance sequence will always override manual settings. To access the last Ground Balance setting used with a Custom Program, first select the desired Custom Program then press ENTER. Select LOAD and press ENTER. Do not Air/Ground Balance as the display suggests, simply squeeze and release the TRIGGER. The last Ground Balance setting will then be in use. If an appropriate Air/ Ground setting is not available, the instrument will automatically require a new Air/Ground Balance. Return ARROW Key - The last Basic Adjustment or Pro Option screen used is remembered by your Custom Program. From the search mode, either ARROW control will access the last Basic Adjustment or Pro Option screen used. This allows easy access to the most used adjustment (such as Transmit Frequency) for a custom competition hunt program.

1. Target Volume

How loud a target beeps when detected. Select TARGET VOLUME with the ARROW controls and press ENTER. The current volume level sounds continuously. The number designating the current level is shown on the right side of the display. To the left, the graphic knob indicates the relationship of the current setting to minimum and maximum levels. Use the ARROW controls to select the volume level you desire. Volume level will select the loudest possible sound a shallow target can produce. High volume levels will slightly reduce battery life. Press MENU and use the ARROWS to continue viewing and or adjusting Basic Adjustments, or Squeeze and release TRIGGER to begin searching.
Tip - Select the loudest comfortable level, lower with headphones, higher without.

2. Audio Threshold

AUDIO THRESHOLD
The slight hum or background tone which is normally heard continuously during searching. Select THRESHOLD with the ARROW controls, and press ENTER. The current threshold level will sound continuously. The number designating the current level is shown on the right side of the display. To the left the graphic knob indicates the relationship of the current setting to minimum and maximum levels. Note that the maximum threshold level (42) is well below the minimum VOLUME level. Thus with the THRESHOLD at maximum, and the VOLUME at minimum, the detector will still respond to metal. Use the ARROW control to select the threshold level you desire. High threshold levels will slightly reduce battery life. Press MENU.

8. D.C. Sensitivity

D.C. SENSITIVITY
Used to select the sensitivity (degree that the detector is responsive to signals) while the detector is being used in non-discriminate modes. These are modes that do not require movement of the loop to respond. D.C. SENSITIVITY fine tunes stability and pinpointing. Select D.C. SENSITIVITY with the ARROW controls, and press ENTER. Use ARROW controls to select the desired D.C. SENSITIVITY level shown by the number on the right. Press ENTER. D.C. SENSITIVITY levels should be selected carefully to allow smooth, stable and predictable operation while allowing for reasonable pinpointing. A.C. and D.C. Sensitivity Adjustments are traditionally the way to alter detection depth and stability. There are other methods available in the PRO OPTIONS under SIGNAL (TRANSMIT, RECEIVE), PREAMP GAIN.
Tip - Typically, lower D.C. SENSITIVITY settings pinpoint shallow targets far better than high settings. High settings will however, produce more pinpointing (as well as nondiscriminate mode depth). Pinpointing (TRIGGER squeezed), MIXED-MODE, and V.C.O. AUDIO are dramatically impacted by the D.C. SENSITIVITY setting.

9. Backlight

BACKLIGHT
Used in dark conditions to light the display, improving visibility.
Tip - Use only when needed, and only as bright as needed, for acceptable display visibility. Backlight use will decrease battery life. The brighter the level, the higher the battery usage.

CAUTION

If the instrument is turned ON and the EMERGENCY BACKLIGHT sequence is used, the BACKLIGHT will stay ON only while you stay in that program. Pressing MENU and selecting another program will turn BACKLIGHT OFF, if BACKLIGHT is not also ON in that particular program. If in the dark at the time the instrument is turned ON, you may need to squeeze and release the TRIGGER and then use the EMERGENCY BACKLIGHT sequence. You can then find the program you desire, press ENTER, press ENTER for Air Balance, and press ENTER for Ground Balance. Use the EMERGENCY BACKLIGHT ON sequence a second time if the BACKLIGHT fades in that program. Unlike past Spectrum instruments, the Spectrum XLT BACKLIGHT is no different than any of the other adjustments. It can be saved in the custom programs or short term volatile memory. However, factory preset programs use the OFF (0) setting as a default (standard setting).

Tip - In cold temperatures the display typically will become slower at responding. Settings toward MAX (higher numbers) speeds the display and improves visibility at cool temperatures. In warm temperatures or intense direct sunlight, the display may become difficult to see. Settings toward MIN (lower numbers) will improve visibility of the display in all but extreme situations. If large variations in conditions result throughout the day or night's search, you may have to make several VIEWING ANGLE adjustments to maintain good display visibility.

FADE RATE - Clears or fades non-current SignaGraph information (bars).

Tips - Use the ON setting until experienced at pinpointing.

2. S.A.T. Speed

S.A.T. SPEED
Self-Adjusting Threshold (auto-tune) smooths the THRESHOLD, OFF (0), or ON (1-10).
Tips - Recommended for most conditions as it provides greater stability particularly in non-discriminate modes or when sensitivity levels are maximized. Typically, faster S.A.T. SPEEDs (higher numbers) improve performance in more mineralized ground. Slower S.A.T. SPEEDs (lower numbers) improve performance in milder ground conditions.
Without S.A.T. SPEED (a setting of 0), changes in the ground (and the passage of time) will tend to produce changes in the THRESHOLD sound. The TRIGGER will have to be squeezed and released repeatedly to maintain the THRESHOLD. This is particularly noticeable in non-discriminate modes, although S.A.T. SPEED will also tend to add stability to discriminate modes. S.A.T. SPEEDs 1 through 10 will automatically correct for such THRESHOLD changes. S.A.T. (auto-tune) is a feature that has been used on metal detectors dating back to the 1970's. It adds a loop-motion requirement to modes which are ordinarily non-motion. It is also known to produce some variations in the responses to hot rocks (rocks more mineralized than the surrounding ground) which change with different speed selections. Only enough S.A.T. SPEED required to maintain stability is recommended. Typically normal coin searching requires slower (lower number) speeds, beach hunting and relic hunting require slightly faster speeds (higher numbers), and prospecting requires the fastest settings (highest numbers).

3. Tone I.D.

TONE I.D.
Assigns each V.D.I. number its own distinct tone or pitch. Target ranges can easily be identified by their sound. The higher the V.D.I. number, the higher the pitch of their sound. Reject targets still break up or "cut-out". Tone I.D. is used in the discriminate or motion modes. When ON, each V.D.I. target number has its own audio frequency or pitch (191 different pitches). The higher the V.D.I. number, the higher the pitch. Where a target indicates on the V.D.I. scale can be immediately recognized. The sound that rejected targets produce will still be canceled or modified (broken up) by the discriminate circuit. The 191 different pitches or tones activated with TONE I.D. cannot be adjusted as to their pitch. Each V.D.I. number's sound is predetermined by the factory and is not adjustable, nor will they shift with TONE (AUDIO FREQUENCY) adjustments. TRANSMIT FREQUENCY settings will add slight variations to these tones.

Tips - Great for coin, jewelry, and relic searching. Can be used in combination with MIXED MODE.

4. V.C.O.

V.C.O.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator produces a higher pitched tone the stronger the target becomes. Voltage Controlled Oscillator is a feature that will only work in the non-discriminate modes. When it is ON, the stronger the response the higher the pitch of the sound. An excellent aid in pinpointing, V.C.O. will only function when the trigger is squeezed for pinpointing when activated in a discriminate mode. D.C. SENSITIVITY settings will dramatically change the performance of V.C.O. D.C. SENSITIVITY settings above a level of 35 may peak the audio pitch too soon to allow V.C.O. to be useful. D.C. SENSITIVITY settings of 35 or below (lower numbers) are recommended. 29
Tips - The best aid available for pinpointing. Also can work well in combination with MIXED MODE to more easily indicate when the nondiscriminate channel is operating.

5. Absolute Value

ABSOLUTE VALUE
Bigfoot, and Goldfoot loop use. Absolute Value is included to enhance the performance of specialty loop (Bigfoot and Goldfoot) designs. Absolute Value increases the detection area of these loops in the non-discriminate modes to their entire length. Use of Absolute Value is not recommended for round-loop designs.
Tips - Turn ON if elongated Bigfoot or Goldfoot loops (differentiating designs) have been installed.

6. Modulation

MODULATION
Allows motion modes to produce different volume levels based on target depth. Modulation is used in the discriminate or motion modes. When ON, it allows the depth of the target to dictate the volume of the response. Thus deep targets can be easily recognized by their lowervolume sound. If OFF, the discriminate or motion modes will produce the same volume of response on all detected targets regardless of depth. The use of MODULATION allows for the singling out of deep targets in the standard discriminate mode. It saves time by eliminating the checking of each target with the depth indication in the pinpoint mode.
Tips - If you have excellent hearing and want to single out deep targets by their lower-volume responses, use modulation. ON is the default (standard setting) for all factory Preset Programs. If your hearing isn't the best, the OFF setting is recommended.

Tips - Use level number "4" (6592.5 Hz) unless interference results from other detectors. Move away from level "4" only far enough to prevent such interference.
1 = 6027.5 Hz 2 = 6204.7 Hz 3 = 6392.7 Hz 4 = 6592.5 Hz
Higher numbers equal higher operating frequencies,
5 = 6805.2 Hz 6 = 7032.0 Hz 7 = 7274.5 Hz
Other metal detectors operating at the same frequency will cause interference. By shifting to a different frequency such interference can be avoided from detectors operating nearby. The best performance will be achieved at the standard number "4" setting. If however, you cannot search due to interference from other detectors, use an alternate frequency. Remember that once the trigger is squeezed and released to return to a search mode, the last option used can be accessed by pressing either of the arrow controls. This ARROW RETURN feature can be used to handily change TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES during a competition hunt.

29. Preamp Gain

PREAMP GAIN
Selects the intensity of the signal received from the loop.
Tips - Higher levels increase detection depth. However, the detector must be stable to be able to recognize a target. OVERLOAD should not appear on the display when only ground minerals are present.
PREAMP GAIN (called Signal Balance on some models) is used to promote stability and performance. Like a sensitivity control, too much PREAMP GAIN will result in unstable operation and unreliable indications. Unlike a sensitivity control, PREAMP GAIN will have a substantial effect on OVERLOAD. For maximum detection depth, fine tune the PREAMP GAIN to the highest number setting without causing OVERLOAD, and/or unstable operation. More adjustment levels (range) are available than what may be usable. You may never encounter an area where maximum PREAMP GAIN can be used. Electrical interference may make it difficult to receive an Air Balance at high PREAMP GAIN settings. Selections such as MIXED MODE or AUDIO DISC OFF may not allow as high a PREAMP GAIN level as other selections. This is normal as some of these modes naturally see more targets and ground, and they may still provide superior performance and depth even with the lower PREAMP GAIN selection. If TRANSMIT BOOST OFF has been selected, it is particularly advisable to fine tune PREAMP GAIN. Every time the PREAMP GAIN level is changed, the detector needs to be re-ground balanced. Once in an operating mode, simply press ENTER to reground balance.
