[. . . ] The Beach TRAC is not recommended for normal conditions, only for saltwater beaches and areas known to contain salt. Remember- When hunting in the "Beach" modebalance in the "Beach" mode. Summary - The On TRAC setting is recommended for most searching conditions. Lock is used to hold a ground rejection setting that is first established in the On or Beach TRAC positions. Lock is recommended for areas that cause detector instability due to extreme ground conditions such as a lot of decomposing man made iron. Beach provides extended ground rejection range to compensate for conductive saltwater or alkali conditions. 13 Chapter 5 APOLLO 20 D Controls Chapter 5 MXT Controls SENS Control SENS Control/ON-OFF The SENS control turns the instrument on/off and selects the signal strength. Increased signal strength does not always find more targets at greater depths. Sometimes high ground mineralization will "bounce" the signal back and mask good targets. It is therefore necessary to ADJUST the SENS to give you the maximum allowable SENS without masking targets or overloading When ground mineralization is too high for the SENS control setting, the display indicates "OVERLOAD-REDUCE SENS/LIFT LOOP" along with an audible "squawk". On occasion, while searching, you might sweep the loop over a very large or very shallow target. The message on the LCD display will read "OVERLOAD-REDUCE SENS/LIFT LOOP". Sweep the loop a little higher over the area and note the display and audio indications. even though the audio discriminator will signal with a reject (suppressed or broken) sound. Nickels and some jewelry will also be rejected with DISC settings much greater than . If, when searching at the position, you feel you are digging too much trash, adjust DISC slightly clockwise and try again. Finding the lowest (furthest counterclockwise) position that eliminates the common trash metals in your area is important in order to find items of jewelry. The APOLLO 20 D provides two significantly different DISC (Discrimination) modes. Traditional DISC Trigger control on the hand grip 1 NAILS FOI L 5¢ UL WELRY RIN L JE S G P BS TA COINS SM.

When a trash metal is being rejected it will produce no beep at all or a suppressed beep that is shorter sounding typically inconsistent, a click or flutter-sounding beep. When a valuable metal is accepted it will produce a consistent, smooth, solid, and longer sounding beep. 16 Chapter 5 MXT Controls Chapter 5 APOLLO 20 D Controls Some large trash metals, such as pieces of lead, pot metal, aluminum, tin, brass, copper, or significant grade iron will produce a good sound regardless of the DISC control position. With the Trigger on the hand grip in the forward position, and the DISC control set at any typical rejection level, Tone I. D. Iron, if accepted by the DISC control setting, produces the lowest pitched beep.
