Volume is the level of sound the detector
gives when a target is detected. The volume
control limits the potential loudness of target
signals.
The X-Terra has proportional target signal
volume. The sound produced by a distant
target starts softly. As you get closer, the
volume level increases rapidly until it reaches
the maximum level that has been set.
The sound produced by the detector
in pinpoint or ground balance will vary
in volume and tone depending on the
signal strength (from a target or ground
mineralisation). This volume range is
proportional to the maximum volume setting.
The X-Terra is able to save separate settings
for both the speaker volume and headphone
volume, switching from one to the other
as soon as the headphones are connected
(Accessory Headphones, pg. 66)
.
Set the speaker volume without headphones
connected. Set the headphone volume with
the headphones connected. Use the exercise
(pg. 22)
with different targets to confirm both
the speaker and headphone volume settings.
When the detector battery is low (indicated by
the low battery icon) the speaker volume limit
will be reduced. This saves battery power and
extends detecting time.
You may choose to override this and increase
the volume limit, but you then risk the
detector shutting down earlier.
