Introducing Tone

Tone is the frequency of sound emitted on target detection. It is
important to experiment with tone settings and listen carefully to
tone variations during your detecting. To test variation in tones
upon selection it will be helpful to move the coil across a few
different targets spaced apart.
Threshold tone
Threshold Tone allows you to adjust the tone of the threshold
‘hum’. This can be modified using the slider control to suit your
preferred threshold tone.
Variability
Variability controls how much the tone will change depending on
the target’s characteristics. A setting of 10 represents significant
variation from target to target. A setting of 1 represents minimum
change in pitch. Variation of pitch between targets can greatly
assist in identifying targets in close proximity to one another.
Limits
This sets the upper limit of all tones emitted by the Explorer II.
Minelab recommends setting the upper limit to the highest frequency
you are comfortable with. You can test the upper limits with a highly
conductive object (e.g. a large silver coin). Setting the limit to 1 will
produce only low pitch target signals, a setting of 10 will provide
very high as well as low pitch signals.
