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.
