8.2.3: Sensitivity Control
The Sensitivity Control (FF) adjusts the loudness of the sound
from the Speaker. Usually, when initially searching for the
target signal, the Control is set to maximum. At this maxi-
mum setting, electronic noises from electrical wiring or de-
vices may be heard. When the target signal is heard, the
user can track the signal to its source by moving the HOUND
3 in the direction that makes the sound of the target signal
get louder. As the loudness of the target signal increases,
the Control setting can be reduced, which will reduce the
loudness of the other interfering sounds. Repeating this pro-
cess will lead the user in the direction of the wire with the
target signal on it.
Helpful Hint
The user can often track the FOX 2 signal to its source with-
out adjusting the Sensitivity Control. When the target wire is
in a group of wires, adjusting the Control can help deter-
mine which wire is the target wire. In this situation, it often
helps to reduce the Control setting, so changes in loudness
are easier to discern. Also, the Control may be used to re-
duce the loudness of the HOUND 3 in quiet office surround-
ings, so its use is less obtrusive to nearby workers.
8.2.4: Earphone Jack
The Earphone Jack (GG) accepts a standard 1/8" mini-plug.
This type is often used with portable music playing devices.
The earphone may be either a stereo or mono type. For best
results, the lead wire should be shielded to reduce the pos-
sibility of feedback occurring between the lead wire and the
