Ground Balance

VX

3

’s automatic ground balance system has a fast-track

mode that attempts to balance the system to soil conditions
within 20 seconds of turn-on. If you do not begin searching
within 20 seconds or the ground is unusually trashy, VX

3

may

not fast-track correctly and you may want to do a manual
ground balance:

• Squeeze/hold the Trigger, then press/hold

ENTER.

• Pump the search coil over the ground (1-12 inches) until the

background hum becomes steady (usually 4 to 6 times). Make
sure you do this over an area free of targets.

• Release

ENTER

, then release the Trigger, and begin searching.

This manual ground balance sequence can be done at any

time during normal search. Once the initial ground balance is
completed, VX

3

will automatically track to most typical ground

mineral changes.

Tip:

If you release the trigger before releasing

ENTER

, VX

3

will lock the screen to pinpoint mode. Simply pull the trig-
ger twice to resume searching.
