CONTROLS
SEARCH MODES
Zero Discrimination
Detects every type of metal. All discrimi-nation pixels are switched on. No metal targets have been notched out (eliminat-ed). Use this mode to find all metal items or when the material of the desired object is unknown.
Standard
Most iron targets are notched out. This mode is ideal for locating relics,
jewelry, and most international coins.
US Coins
Designed to find U.S. and similar coins, and to eliminate common trash items
such as iron, foil, and pull-tabs.
Custom
Settings programmed by the user are retained when the detector is switched
off. Factory preset is Standard Mode.
**Beach***
By default, Beach Mode operates only in the Multi-Salt frequency setting. Iron Discrimination is set to eliminatine most common ferrous items from detection.
Thin Coins**
Enhanced audio on targets within a select Target ID range, such as gold coins,
small Roman coins, and thin, hammered coins. Audio volume is suppressed for
common ferrous targets and for highly conductive targets.
Fast**
Increased Reaction speed and suppressed audio volume on common ferrous
targets. Ideal for use in competition hunts and for high-trash areas.
- Available only on VX7 and VX9 models.
** Available only on VX9 model.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
LCD / DISPLAY ELEMENTS
- Target Scale—Single-tier Target ID scale indicates both ferrous and non-ferrous targets, with ferrous targets indicating towards the left, low conductivity in the middle, and high conductivity toward the right.
- Search Mode—Displays the current Search Mode (e.g., Zero, Standard, US Coins, etc.).
- Frequency—Displays the current Frequency setting (e.g., 13 kHz, Multi-Freq., Multi-Salt).
- Iron Audio—Indicates Iron Audio features is in used when this icon is displayed.
- Backlight—Indicates LCD backlight feature is in use when displayed.
- Battery Level—Shows status of battery life (25% per segment).
- Digital Target ID—Provides a value from 0 to 99 to identify targets more precisely.
- Sensitivity—Indicates current Sensitivity setting.
- Target Depth—Shows depth of coin-sized target in 2” (5cm) increments. Targets larger than a coin may display shallower than actual depth. Targets smaller than a coin may display deeper than actual depth.
- Target ID Cursor—Indicates Target ID of detected target. Complex targets may register more than one Target ID cursor. For adjacent targets, Vortex is capable of presenting more than one Target ID on the screen simultaneously.
LCD/DISPLAY ELEMENTS
- Target Scale—Two-tier Target ID scale indicates different metal types. The top scale indicates non-ferrous (conductive) targets. The lower scale indicates ferrous targets. For other LCD elements and more on Target Scale, refer to VX5 key shown to left.
- Wireless Headphones—Icon flashes while attempting to pair headphones. Icon is solid when unit is paired with headphones.
LCD/DISPLAY ELEMENTS
1. Target Scale—Three-tier Target ID scale indicates different metal types. The top scale indicates “tricky” or complex ferrous (iron) items. The center scale indicates non-ferrous (conductive) targets. The lower scale indicates common ferrous targets. For other LCD elements, refer to VX5 key shown to left.
