Search Mode Motion Circuitry: In this mode of operation the 
motion circuitry in the 1236-X2 responds with a 416 Hz tone as 
the search coil is moved over a target. This makes the 1236-X2 
less sensitive to soil mineralization and false target responses 
associated with the temperature drift and aging of electronic 
components.
No-Motion Pinpoint Mode With VCO Audio: At the push of a 
button, the all-metal no-motion pinpoint mode kicks in with 
VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) audio response for precise 
target locating. A located target responds with increasing 
volume and pitch. The tone gets louder and higher, so there’s 
virtually no doubt when you’re directly over a target. 
VOLUME Control: For an extra measure of versatility, we’ve 
included a VOLUME control so you can set the audio level to 
suit your needs. You’ll no longer have to buy a special headset 
with extra controls to adjust the audio level. 
FREQUENCY Control: You can vary the transmit frequency of 
your 1236-X2 from 5.5 KHz to 5.9 KHz. This control allows you to 
eliminate electrical interference from nearby metal detectors. A 
must for competition hunting. 
User Setpoints And Factory Presets: The SENSITIVITY, VOLUME, 
FREQUENCY, and DISC controls all have recommended user 
setpoints that are indicated by a red-colored number on each 
control’s number dial. These setpoints provide a useful starting 
point for the new user. In addition, we’ve included a convenient 
factory preset IRON discrimination setting. When the DISC 
control is fully rotated counterclockwise to the IRON position, 
the 1236-X2 is set to reject common iron trash and nails.
