You have invested in a high-tech detector capable of exceptional performance, which was designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further research in the field of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution. ®, the first fully wireless detector Dēus is innovative in terms of metal detector design as it offers an architecture based on three elements communicating via a digital radio link. In this new design the coil, remote control and audio headphones have each been made independent through the integration of very compact, high-capacity lithium batteries. An ultra-miniature electronic circuit, incorporated in the search coil, digitises and analyses the signals. Data is then sent to the headphones and remote control in real time via a digital radio link. With this method, the signal is processed at source and not conveyed via a wire link, which greatly improves data quality. Incorporating components from leading-edge technologies such as scientific instrumentation has enabled us to produce a powerful, rapid, lightweight, compact and fully controllable digital detector. Whether you are an experienced user or a beginner, Dēus lets you decide whether or not to modify any of its settings. Powerful pre-configured factory programmes enable all users to get started immediately, while expert detectorists can choose more advanced parameters via the intuitive interface. What is described in this manual as the "Remote Control" is in fact the user interface, known as the ‘control box’ on conventional detectors. It enables the detector’s many functions to be precisely adjusted via a graphical interface. It can also receive programme updates (via internet) through its USB socket. 02 TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION continued ... Dēus is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight configuration (just 875 g)! Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection, they are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale. They take over in the absence of the remote control for adjusting the detector settings. With the headphones you can turn Dēus on and off, change the main detection settings such as sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, tone, frequency (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz, 18 kHz), volume, etc. as well as selecting the factory programmes or those previously configured with the remote control! Performance is identical whether you are searching with or without the remote control! Lastly, the new patented* XP stem has the combined advantages of an S-shaped stem and a straight telescopic stem. It enables you to deploy or fold away the device in just a few seconds, and to change the coil in an instant. Its user-friendly design ensures comfort and convenience for the user: length adjustable by millimetre increments, improved operating angle and shaped rubber handle for a firm, controlled grip. So now you’re ready for a new adventure! *Patent application underway 03 LIST OF PARTS The box for your Dēus metal detector contains the following parts: One assembled fully telescopic stem One connection cable: USB / one mini-B plug One set of wireless headphones with storage case One connection cable: USB / three mini-B plugs One 22.5 cm search coil with coil cover One user interface (remote control) with case 04 One power supply transformer-charger One connection clamp for recharging the coil One set of fastenings (2 screws, 2 wing nuts, 1 washer, 1 spacing washer) Fitting the coil on the stem Insert the single rubber washer in the lower shaft.

Do not switch on Dēus when the coil is near a metal surface, inside a car, or when the stem has been folded away, as this may interfere with calibration and lead to abnormal performance. If this should occur, switch Dēus off and move away from any metal masses before switching it on again. Nevertheless, this does not represent any risk to the equipment or its electronics! 08 Configuring the main detection settings. MENU Press menu Scroll through the menu by pressing Adjust the Discrimination level (from 0 to 99) with MENU Exit with NOTCH DISC to return to the main menu. SENS. FREQ. EXPERT Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below which certain metals are differentiated. The conductivity scale (0 to 99) for metal targets shown below will help you better understand the discrimination range and its limits, and see how it corresponds to the digital display of target conductivity on the remote control main menu.

For example, if you tune the discrimination level to 10, you will reject iron with a value of between 0 and 10. If you tune it to 40 you will also eliminate small pieces of aluminium foil whose conductivity is less than 40. If you wish to reject other rubbish with higher conductivity, such as pull tabs from aluminium drinks cans, lead shot or copper hunting cartridges (whose conductivity is 60-75), you must also be prepared to accept the elimination of certain good metals with similar conductivity. If you are particularly bothered by contamination registering as highly conductive on the digital screen, and you still wish to reject it, it is better to do so using the NOTCH rejection setting. 09 DISCRIMINATION continued... Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either: 1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category. 2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone. In both cases the decision then lies with you on whether or not to dig. Depending on the frequency setting used, a target’s conductivity is perceived differently by the detector. The digital conductivity display may therefore vary depending on the frequency. The 0 to 10 range relates to the rejection of iron. To achieve greater precision in this range there is a digit after the decimal point (from 2.1 to 9.9), which in effect gives you 82 different levels for iron. MENU NOTCH DISC SENS. FREQ. In several menus, particularly at the top right of the Discrimination screen, a reminder of the target conductivity index is displayed, which helps you when adjusting the discrimination level. EXPERT MENU DISC SENS FREQ. IRON VOL. EXPERT Adjust the Sensitivity level (from 0 to 99) with Exit with Sensitivity is often simplistically described as the setting which adjusts the device’s power level. However this is incorrect. As its name indicates, it actually determines the device’s sensitivity level. It reacts after receiving a signal via the receiver coil. Nevertheless, the results are somewhat similar in practice, as increasing a device’s sensitivity enables it to detect the presence of more distant targets. However it must be noted that this setting has no effect on the power emitted. The most commonly used sensitivity levels range from 70 to 90. It may be necessary to reduce the level if there is too much interference, as is often the case near overhead or buried power lines, fences, radio-relay stations, mobile telephones, computers, televisions, etc. Do not test your device in your home as there is considerable electromagnetic and metal interference in urban environments. 10 Scroll through the frequencies with MENU Exit with SENS. FREQ. IRON VOL. REACTIVITY KHZ EXPERT Dēus gives you the choice of four detection frequencies (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz and 18 kHz) which cover most detection needs. They enable you to adapt your research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and the targets to be detected. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the most likely targets that may be detected according to the frequency: 4 kHz Large, mainly ferrous and non-ferrous masses. Coins of sufficient conductivity and size. All other medium or relatively small targets in non-mineralised ground relatively uncontaminated by iron. Good for ferrous masses and militaria. 8 kHz General use. Coins and large masses, militaria. Medium and small targets in low-mineralised ground. 12 kHz General use, small coins. Coins of all sizes in medium to highly mineralised ground. 18 kHz Small coins made from any alloy (gold, silver, copper, etc.) and bigger but very fine coins, low conductivity gold coins, lead, rings, sheet metal, aluminium foil. Small objects can be found even on mineralised ground contaminated with iron. Discriminates (distinguishes) coke more easily. More unstable on non-mineralised and moist ground. 11 Remember that generally speaking, all frequencies can detect all kinds of targets, so for example a frequency of 4 kHz will detect a very small target and a frequency of 18 kHz will detect a large, deep mass. However, the 18 kHz frequency will lead you to discover a relatively higher number of small targets that cannot compare with that achieved with a frequency of 4 kHz. Similarly, sometimes the 18 kHz frequency can be slightly less effective with a large mass. If you are just starting out, the 8 kHz frequency is a good compromise for general use. On a wet beach the 18 kHz frequency will be better at finding small gold jewellery such as chain necklaces and bracelets that are usually so difficult to detect. MENU FREQ. IRON VO. REACTIVITY AUDIO RESP. Adjust the Iron Volume (from 0 to 5) with Exit with You have the option of controlling the sound volume of the low-pitched tone which generally corresponds to iron. Depending on the circumstances, this enables more attention to be paid to other sounds, by reducing those generated by iron. On the other hand, some users prefer that the low-pitched signals from iron are more audible, as they know that good targets at the detector’s range limit in mineralised ground sometimes generate low amplitude, low-pitched sounds. - At 0 the low-pitched tone is cut off. - At 5 the low-pitched tone will have a sound level equivalent to other medium - or high-pitched tones. If the discrimination threshold is too low, 0 or 2 for example, most iron will generate not low- but medium-pitched tones, as you will practically be in the All Metals mode. In this case, the iron level setting will not be of much use. 12 MENU IRON VOL. REACTIV. Adjust the Reactivity from 0 to 5 with Exit with AUDIO RESP. NOTCH EXPERT Reactivity is a vital setting that determines the detector’s performance in terms of speed of analysis and selectivity. If a soil contains a great deal of iron, hot rocks or other mineralised debris, soil penetration is generally reduced, as is a detector’s ability to identify targets similar to iron. In these conditions, Dēus enables you to select a high degree of reactivity which will help you speed up the analysis of signals. On the other hand, if the ground is "clean", it is better to reduce the reactivity and sweep more slowly, in order to be more sensitive to deep masses and obtain more thorough penetration. Users familiar with the Gold Maxx Power have already had a foretaste of the Reactivity (recovery speed) of XP’s detectors. And even though Dēus is a particularly fast and selective detector, you now have the option of adjusting the reactivity setting to make it even more selective! By way of example, and to help you better understand the reactivity levels available, you should note that the reactivity of most detectors on the market is generally only equivalent to level 1 of the Dēus. This is true, for instance, of the Gold Maxx and earlier XP models. The Gold Maxx Power has a reactivity equivalent to level 2 of the Dēus. Most likely finds with the recommended settings are as follows: 4/5 Large masses and coins, in ground uncontaminated by iron. Large masses and coins, in ground with little iron contamination, and general use. General use, and mineralised soils contaminated with iron. Difficult soils contaminated with iron, hot rocks, etc. Very difficult soils, highly contaminated with iron and hot rocks, sensitivity to small targets. Higher reactivity levels (3, 4, 5) enable the detector to tolerate fast sweeps better. 13 Example Passing the coil over an iron object close to the surface then over a good metal target (ring). R E A C T I V I T Y With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for a longer duration, to the extent that it completely hides the ring. No sound With a medium Reactivity level, you begin detecting the ring. The audio signal partially indicates the target. Short sound A high Reactivity level enables you to distinguish the ring completely from the iron. The audio signal fully indicates the target. Full sound In terms of pure performance, the greatest detection ranges are obtained with low reactivity levels. However, you will find more targets on difficult ground with medium or high reactivity levels. So do not just rely on performance in optimal conditions. Depending on the reactivity level, you will notice that the length of the audio signal varies when it passes over a target: Low reactivity (0, 1) = long sound High reactivity (3, 4, 5) = short sound Evidently the length of any false signals (the crackling of iron for example) will vary proportionately as well. You are therefore advised not to constantly change the reactivity level, as this may interfere with your ability to distinguish good and bad sounds. 14 AUDIO RESPONSE MENU REACTIVITY AUDIO R. NOTCH DISC Adjust the Audio Response from 0 to 5 with Exit with The Audio Curve enables you to amplify the sound volume of distant targets and therefore to be more alert to them. It gives the sensation of greater power, however it does not provide any additional depth as this setting only affects the sound curve (the dynamic range of sounds). Audio Level Distance to target By amplifying small signals you will also be amplifying small spurious false signals. By increasing the sound response you will compress the dynamic range and thus reduce the appreciation of a target’s distance. MENU AUDIO RESP. NOTCH DISC SENS EXPERT Notch complements discrimination: it enables a "window" of targets to be rejected whereas discrimination rejects all targets below a selected threshold. For example, if you detect a redundant, undesirable target in the ground, you can decide just to reject the corresponding conductivity group and continue to detect targets whose conductivity is higher and lower than those in this group. If the reference target has a conductivity of 37, adjust the Notch value to 34-40 using All targets whose conductivity is between 34 and 40 will then be silenced. Exit with By default, the width of the rejection window is 6 points. 15 General features The different levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes affect the performance of your detector. For example, this may be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic mineralisation from sites of former human settlement (also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc. At the seashore this may also involve mineralisation ranging from magnetic grade (black sand) to electrical conductor grade (salt water) depending on the beach or region. If you are an experienced detectorist you may wish to optimise your searches to achieve better penetration in some of these mineralised soils. In magnetic ground with relatively uniform mineralisation, a setting which is adjusted according to the ground effect will improve penetration by reducing the amplitude of the ground signals sent back by the receiver circuits. This ‘adapted setting’ involves adjusting your ground balance value to the average value of the ground being detected, while adding 1 so as not to hear the ground signals as much. The tracking and pumping modes do this automatically if the ground conditions allow it. Attention: As the ground balance setting is the one requiring the most experience of the ground, we recommend that you read this chapter carefully and use the different ground balance modes carefully, while acquiring your own experience of the ground. By default, remain in manual mode at level 90 on inland ground and on dry beach sand. If the ground is not mineralised there is no need to adjust your ground balance to a level other than 90: since the ground does not send back any significant spurious echo the performance will be optimal even at level 90 and you will reduce interference resulting from knocks to the coil. On the main menu, two values are permanently displayed: 1 - BASIC 1 The ground mineralisation index (level measured constantly by Dēus for information). OPTION 16 MENU G.B. The actual level of ground effect corrections (adjustment underway). G.B. Press Ground 4 modes are available: MANUAL - PUMPING - TRACKING - BEACH (ON / OFF) G.B. Go to Manual with TRACKING Adjust with PUMPING BEACH Exit with MANUAL You can manually adjust the ground rejection levels from 60 to 95 (Beach 90 is the default level, it is the most common level which enables you to reject all magnetic minerals found in the ground. By reducing G.B. towards 87 you will begin detecting hot rocks, and knocks to the coil may result in false signals. Even lower, between 75/85, pottery and the ground itself will begin interfering with your device. suggest that you limit yourself to a Ground Balance level of 90, which is the default setting, and is the most stable reference level recommended for inland ground. Levels lower than 90 will result in increasing instability. G.B. Go to Pumping with MANUAL PUMPING BEACH TRACKING START you obtain the display G.B OK START SOL MANUAL G.B OK BEACH TRACKING IN PROGRESS Exit with 17 ~ 15 cm (6") Pumping is a semi-automatic process which allows you to adjust the ground balance in a zone that you have determined as being representative of the mean level of the ground being prospected. Henceforth, the measured value of the ground is entered in memory and used as the new active ground balance value. If this value is unsuitable, or if it generates too much instability, you can to modify it by, for instance, adding several extra rejection points. G.B. MANUAL G.B FAIL BEACH TRACKING IN PROGRESS If a metal target is detected while you are pumping, Dēus will recognise this and display the message G.B FAIL It will then retain the previous ground balance value. This problem is generally caused by iron being present. If this is the case then move to another location and restart the pumping mode. In low- or non-mineralised ground, there is no need to adjust the ground balance and you are advised to remain on 90 for greater stability. G.B. BEACH TRACKING MANUAL PUMPING Go to Tracking with Exit with extracted signals to determine the mean value on a continual basis. This mode may be useful in soils with relatively uniform mineralisation, and where the mineralisation varies gradually from zone to zone, which is often the case in naturally mineralised ground. In this case, Dēus automatically readjusts the ground balance according to the most recent value measured. However, in ground where mineralisation has resulted from human presence (ancient settlements, for example) this mode may be unsuitable due to the disparity in the ground events. 18 Indeed, within the same sweep of just one metre, a considerable variety of ground events may be encountered, ranging from one extreme to the other (values between 70 and 90): hot rocks, brick, slag, pottery interspersed with soil that is neutral or characterised by diverse mineralisation. This may be to such an extent that any mean value would be meaningless. You must then determine an acceptable level of rejection for the ground based on your own experience of the site, your detection methods and the interference that you are prepared to tolerate. This mode is not available in Beach mode, in wet areas, as the Pumping mode is more effective. Low ground balance levels also generate the clearest signals on certain irons that are already difficult to eliminate. With some digital detectors on the market, you will note that when the ground balance settings are low – either in Manual, Pumping or Tracking mode – hot rocks do not register, as they have been somewhat ‘notched’ or inhibited. This trick gives you good stability regardless of the ground rejection level, however it also deprives you of the benefits of a well-adjusted ground balance, and worse, gives you the impression that your settings are well configured. Very often the deepest targets in magnetic soil are identified with a signature similar to that of hot rocks, and are therefore detected poorly with this kind of device (as they are ‘notched’). Dēus on the contrary gives you full control over the ground settings. When you lower the ground balance (87-85-82 etc.) you fully accept hot rocks, which is the only way to obtain real gains in terms of penetration on certain magnetic soils. 19 Go to Beach with G.B. BEACH PUMPING BEACH YES Choose YES (00-30) MANUAL Activates calculation of the ground balance on the zone corresponding to highly saline wet ground, so as to reduce interference caused by conducting salt water. After selecting Beach ON, you need to adjust the ground balance manually or by pumping on the wet zone concerned, in order to cancel out the ground signal. G.B. BEACH MANUAL PUMPING BEACH START Go to PUMPING or go to Press START with and pump the coil on the ground several times until you obtain the display G.B OK In Manual Mode, adjust it from 00 to 30 with Exit with To improve stability on wet beach (salt water): Reduce Audio Response (0-1) Increase Reactivity (4-5) Power: Level 1 maximum. Sensitivity: (70-85). In wet zones (salt water), it is important to sweep while keeping the coil parallel to the ground, yet not touching it. In wet zones you can select the Wet Beach factory programme. 20 Animated test card depending on the signal’s amplitude PINPOINT Press the return button to go back to the home page Used to access the none motion (Pinpoint) menu and/or update the threshold Dēus is designed to operate most of the time in Motion Mode, which means that a metal target will only be detected if the detector’s coil is moving. However, the detector can also be operated in Pin Point mode, if required, which means that it will detect even if the coil is motionless above a target. In modern detectors, none motion mode is most often used to locate a target more precisely (pinpointing). However this mode is also very useful for detecting the presence of metal in cramped locations, where there is not enough space to swing the coil, or if there is too much interfering metal around the target. For example, locating hiding places inside houses, cellars and walls. None motion mode is also widely used in the construction industry to locate metal pipes, as it enables them to be continually tracked. Place the coil at a height of approximately 5 cm (2") above the ground on a zone free of metal targets ~ 5 cm (2") Press (Pinpoint) The sound threshold is calibrated and you are switched to none motion mode. Calibration of the threshold can be repeated at any time by pressing the Pinpoint button again. If you are continually searching in none motion mode you will need to recalibrate this threshold at regular intervals.The stability and sensitivity of the none motion mode will depend on how effectively the detector has been calibrated: If you recalibrate the threshold with the coil too far from the ground, then sensitivity will be lower but the device will be more stable. If you recalibrate the threshold with the coil too close to the ground, then its sensitivity in none motion mode will be high but the device will be unstable on the ground. The ground mineralisation should help you determine the best height for obtaining the desired level of sensitivity. In Motion Mode, very rapid crossed sweeps are usually sufficient to locate a target. 21 These enable you to save your settings, create new programmes and configure your equipment’s basic parameters.

Otherwise it can be done manually with this menu. Always leave the headphones switched on when you are changing the coil via the remote control, otherwise they will not register the change and will remain connected to the previous coil. If this should occur, use the remote control to return to the previous coil (with the headphones switched on) and switch to the new coil again to re-register it with the headphones. Remember that before you can use a new coil for the first time, you need to enter its serial number in the headphones and remote control (pg 24/30). Pairing the Headphones with a new Coil When delivered, the headphones and remote control have already been paired with the original coil, so no action is required on your part. However, if you purchase an additional coil, before using it for the first time you need to pair it with the remote control and the headphones, to enable it to recognise and communicate with them. You can then change coils with a simple click using the remote control (pg 23) or your headphones (pg 30). If you leave the headphones switched on when you pair the remote control with a new coil, they are also paired with this new coil, which is then added automatically to the list in the headphones menu (pg 24). If you do not have the remote control, or in the event of a problem, you can manually pair the headphones with a new coil. To do this you need the serial number of the coil to be paired: Press COIL until you reach COIL Choose a free slot with for example 02 (01 is already assigned to the original coil). If this coil has already been paired with the remote control, ensure you choose the same slot number in the headphones. Press With validate it with 30 for 2 seconds to switch to serial number entry mode. enter the first digit of the serial number then With With enter the second digit then validate it with enter the third digit then validate it with Continue in this way until you reach the sixth digit. The new coil is now operational in this slot and should become active. A coil’s serial number is unique. Dēus cannot use a coil if the number entered does not correspond to the actual serial number printed on the coil (and sometimes appearing on the invoice as well). Programs P1 to P9 Choice of one of the 9 pre-configured factory programmes. Press Scroll with and go to P1/9 screen. and choose the programme number. The programmes are identical to those in the remote control and are numbered in the same way from 1 to 9. e.g. P3 headphone = factory programme 3 in the remote control. Programme 7 is the remote control’s wet beach mode and is designed to be used in the wet zone of a beach. Its ground balance settings range from 0 to 30, not 60 to 95 like the other settings. Each time that the remote control is switched on next to its accompanying headphones, all the remote control’s settings are loaded into the headphones, which then store them in memory even when switched off. This only works if the headphones and remote control have both been paired and are using the same (serial number) coil. Replacement of the backphone The earphone of the wireless headphones contains all the electronics and the lithium battery, it represents your headphone’s brain! (ref: D091). Fitted on a sliding support, it has the advantage of being able to disconnect from the backphone with a single click. This backphone is an inexpensive wearing part that can easily be replaced by any of our resellers (ref: D096). 31 POWER SUPPLY-batteries LOW BATTERY LIGHTS The remote control alternately displays : 1 - BASIC 1 OPTION MENU The symbol which indicates the coil’s charge level.

Dēus is regulated in such a way that avoids any deterioration in performance even when the battery level is lower! CHARGING TIME COIL: 90mn / REMOTE CONTROL and HEADPHONES: 120mn. LiPo batteries (Lithium polymer) do not suffer from the ‘memory effect’ so you can recharge them at any time without first having to wait for them to fully discharge. The LED on the coil is on continually when charging is underway. When charging is complete, the LED reverts to flashing intermittently. (3 seconds ON, 3seconds OFF) 32 POWER SUPPLY-batteries The search coil, remote control and headphones are all powered by identical lithium polymer batteries. These miniature, high-capacity batteries can be recharged quickly. The different Dēus elements can be charged while switched on or off, but switching them off speeds up the process. You should use the power adaptor supplied, which enables all three elements to be charged simultaneously when used with the USB/3 mini-B cable, also supplied. Connect the USB plug to the power adaptor Connect the mini-B plugs to the remote control, headphones and to the charging clamp. 1 - BASIC 1 OPTION MENU G.B DISC SENS GND FREQ TONE VOL COIL The search coil is charged via the connection clamp supplied, which is connected to the coil according to the grooves in the coil cover. You will see that the clamp is shaped in such a way to prevent it being connected the wrong way round. Correct Incorrect Ensure that the clamp is the right way round before connecting it to the coil 33 The LiPo batteries are designed to bear hundreds of charges and to last several years in your detector, thus resulting in significant savings in terms of purchase of batteries. After 300 to 400 charging cycles the battery still has 80% of its capacity, which then gradually begins to decrease over subsequent cycles. As an indication, the batteries should last for around 3 to 4 years when used on a weekly basis. Attention: long-term storage of discharged batteries may reduce their overall durability. If the detector has to be placed in storage, first charge the batteries to half of their capacity (40 to 70%). Ideally you should then discharge/recharge them at least once a month. Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries! REPLACING BATTERIES The three Dēus batteries are identical. The batteries for the wireless headphones and the remote control are easy to replace as they are connected to the circuit with a mini-connector and double-sided adhesive tape. The search coil battery is sealed for obvious reasons of safety and impermeability. It must be returned to our service department or an XP distributor for replacement. 34 PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO USE OF THE POWER ADAPTOR AND BATTERY Acceptable ambient temperature during charging: 0° to 40°C Maximum Recommended storage temperature: 25°C Batteries The batteries are fitted with internal protection systems which shield them from extreme overloads and discharges. They must not be dismantled or short-circuited, which is dangerous and could destroy the protection systems or cause the batteries to smoulder or ignite. Do not leave batteries charging unnecessarily and disconnect the power adaptor when the charge cycle is complete or after 120mn. If you notice any perforation, odour or other anomaly, please return the battery to the seller in a sealed plastic bag and don't try to charge again. Never dispose of lithium batteries with your household waste: return them to your XP seller or take them to a designated collection point. Do not place the batteries near heat sources and never throw them onto a fire Never perforate the battery cover or try and weld/solder the battery. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. Risk off explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replacing the battery with another of the incorrect type can lead to an explosion risk. Only use LiPo batteries supplied by XP (ref : D088). Power adaptor The power adaptor is only designed for indoor use and should not be exposed to water or humidity. Always connect your power adaptor in an accessible, visible place to ensure that it can be unplugged quickly in the event of overheating or other problems. Use the special XP chargers in the recommended charging method to charge the battery, do not use other charger, that will cause the battery internal short-circuit and make it heat, smoke or burn. Do not charge the devices during a thunderstorm and unplug the power adaptor from the supply. Do not charge close to inflammable parts. Xplorer shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from a failure to comply with the precautions for use. 35 This section covers the advanced settings. You should ensure that you have studied all the basic parameters before moving on to this section. MULTI TONES 2 TONES - 3 TONES- 4 TONES MENU Press Choose DISCRI with Press MULTI TONES PITCH EXPERT Choose 2 tones - 3 tones - 4 tones - Pitch using 2 TONES 3 TONES 4 TONES EXPERT You can use the Multi-tones menu to sort targets into categories according to their conductivity, by assigning a specific audio tone to each category. The higher the target’s conductivity, the higher the pitch of the tone. Take some time to become familiar with the 2 tones, 3 tones, 4 tones modes using different targets, such as an iron nail and some aluminium foil, different coins, etc. The lowest pitched tone is assigned to iron. If you do not wish to hear it, select “Iron Volume” from the menu and reduce its volume to 0. If you are in 2 tones mode (low/medium tone) and you reduce the iron level (low-pitched tone) to 0, you then find yourself in 1 tone mode (medium), which is why there is no 1 tone mode in this scrolling menu. PITCH MULTI TONES 4 TONES PITCH 2 TONES 3 TONES 36 Pitch mode is completely different from the others. It does not take into account the target’s conductivity: the strength of the signal generates an audio signal that varies both in amplitude and height (the audio frequency). This means that a more distant target will generate a low-pitched, weak sound whereas a closer target will generate a high-pitched, strong sound. Pitch mode gives signals particular dynamism and can be useful for locating targets. It also makes the detector seem more reactive. However, it does not fundamentally affect reactivity, just the audio. MULTI TONES, Thresholds and Tones Press MENU Scroll with Press MULTI TONES 4 TONES Once you have selected the number of tones (for example: 4 tones) Press EXPERT PITCH 2 TONES EXPERT 4 TONES TONE1 10 EXPERT Choose 2 tones - 3 tones - 4 tones - Pitch with 3 TONES 202 518 644 757 and select 60 87 202 HZ You have the option of customising the sound partitioning of the discrimination range. A sound frequency (comparatively low- or high-pitched) is assigned to each part of the discrimination range. In this example, a low-pitched sound (202 Hz) is assigned to the signals from 0 to 10, a higher-pitched sound (518 Hz) is assigned to the part from 10 to 60, then 644 Hz is assigned to 60 to 87 and lastly a very high-pitched sound (757 Hz) is assigned to the part from 87 to 99. Press in order to move the cursor (black triangle) from one setting zone to another. Note that the cursor first moves up and down to indicate the sound frequencies used, then from left to right to indicate each threshold. 4 TONES 202 518 644 757 Adjust the sound frequencies and thresholds with 10 10 THRESH. 2T/3T 57 57 87 Example: If a coin type, which your device registers as 58 on the conductivity index, signals as “medium low” (518 Hz) and you wish it to be signalled as “medium high” (644 Hz), you simply lower the threshold from 60 to 57 or less. Now, all coins with this conductivity value will register at 644 Hz. The black bar showing the index of the target is displayed in the top left of the screen (black bar) for help. This enables you to directly adjust the sound responses for targets you select as references. THRESH 1T / 2T The threshold 1 separating the low-pitched tone (tone 1) from the medium tone (tone 2) is the same as the Discrimination value. These are the same settings. 37 MENU Press and select SENS Scroll with Press MENU DISC. SENS FREQ. IRON VOL. EXPERT Dēus enables you to adjust the strength of the emitted electromagnetic field according to three levels (from 1 to 3). It is adjusted using EXPERT Press x2 to return to the main menu. TX POWER By default the power is set to level 2, which offers a very dependable performance level that is largely sufficient in most cases. The power only has a subtle effect on the device’s pure performance with regard to sensitivity. However, it increases your detector’s power consumption as well as alter its stability on difficult ground. On iron-infested, mineralised ground, there is no need to use a high power setting, level 1 will be sufficient as in any case it is impossible to detect deeply in this kind of ground. It is therefore better to limit the saturation caused by iron and the ground by lowering the setting. In this way you will improve analysis and will ultimately find as many, if not more, targets since you will be better able to hear them. Power is set to maximum for the 4 kHz frequency. You do not therefore have access to the Expert menu when you are on this frequency. 38 Press MENU Scroll with Press and select FREQ EXPERT MENU Adjust the frequency with SENS. FREQ. Press IRON VOL. REACTIVITY. EXPERT x2 to return to the main menu. You can shift your operational frequency slightly to avoid occasional interference, particularly that generated by another detector nearby. Starting from the central frequency, two other frequencies are available. FREQ SHIFT HZ Wherever possible, remain on the central frequency, which is more closely attuned to the emitter coil. During a rally or other group event, if you suffer from any interference do not hesitate to shift the frequency. You can also simply change the basic frequency (4, 8, 12, 18kHz) to avoid interference from your team mate’s detector 4kHz frequency is fixed and cannot be shifted. MENU Press Scroll with MENU IRON VOL. REACTIV. AUDIO RESP. NOTCH. EXPERT SILENCER Press and select REACTIVITY EXPERT Adjust the Silencer with Press x2 to return to the main menu. Iron is more easily discriminated than other metals because of its unique signature which is related to its ferromagnetic properties. However, large iron objects or certain unusual shapes are often more difficult, or even impossible, to discriminate. 39 These partially discriminated iron objects often generate a few audible remnants of broken, inconsistent signals (crackling). Depending on your abilities and preferences, you may wish to remove this crackling using the Silencer. When you increase the value of the silencer you are applying a filter which eliminates the crackling caused by iron. Level 2 represents a good compromise, but if you have difficulty distinguishing iron from non-iron, then use a higher level such as 2, 3 or 4. The Reactivity menu takes precedence over the silencer, so if you change the reactivity value this automatically imposes an appropriate silencer value. This is designed to avoid the silencer being set to a value that could reduce the effectiveness of the reactivity setting. MENU Press Scroll with Press MENU AUDIO RESP. EXPERT NOTCH 46 THRESH 1 28 and go to NOTCH screen. This advanced notch function enables you to widen the rejection window in the event that the undesirable target(s) have a wider conductivity range than the standard 6-point window. For example, if the undesirable target is generating a signature ranging from 28 to 46, you can use this option to lower the value of Threshold 1 to 28 and increase Threshold 2 to 46. Select threshold 1 or 2 with NOTCH DISC. SENS. N1 EXPERT and select NOTCH THRESH 2 46 Adjust the values with Press X2 to return to the main menu. If several targets with different conductivity levels are bothering you, you can activate two other notches: N2 and N3 Use to select N2 or N3, and adjust as for N1. To exit use You will note that the notched zones are greyed out in the conductivity bar on the main page. 40 PRACTICAL INFORMATION Metal detecting is a fascinating leisure activity that can bring you a lot of satisfaction. However, it requires a minimum of learning in order to get the most enjoyment. Begin by familiarising yourself with your equipment and its operation on a suitable practice ground. To do this, we recommend that you take an assortment of different objects: coins, everyday items, metal rubbish, etc. Then find a patch of ground relatively free from metal pollution and far away from any electromagnetic interference (high voltage power lines, electric fences, domestic appliances, etc.). For instance your garden would probably be one of the most unsuitable places to begin as there is too much domestic waste in the vicinity. To ensure that the site is suitable for practising, swing the coil over the ground as if detecting. If you hear a multitude of sounds then move to another place. Once you have found a suitable spot, arrange your objects on the ground, spacing them approximately two coil widths apart. Before placing an object, use the device to check that there is no metal already in the ground. Then, take some time to observe your device’s reactions when it passes over each target. You can then sort them according to the sound response type and try and understand what makes them similar or different. If you feel comfortable with this exercise, you can also try out some of the pre-configured settings. When detecting, it is important that you sweep the coil parallel to the ground, using wide movements, as close as possible to the surface (without actually touching it). Proximity to the ground will increase the likelihood of detecting a deep target and will enable the most discreet objects to be identified more easily. You are advised to avoid knocking the coil, as although it is designed to tolerate this kind of stress, careful treatment will prolong the life of the device and guarantee you better perception of targets. CORRECT INCORRECT 41 When you are detecting, you are free to choose the rate at which you move. For example, if you prefer to cover a zone at high speed while detecting, this will certainly give you a global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, it is clear that this way of detecting will also leave large areas of ground unexplored between each sweep. On the other hand, if you insist on closely scrutinising every inch of the ground, you should ensure that each sweep slightly overlaps the previous one, in order to reduce to a minimum the area that your coil has not scanned. You should also bear in mind that you will further increase your chances of finding and identifying a target by sweeping more slowly. This particularly applies in metal-infested ground (when there are more targets to be sorted) or when you are searching for deeper targets. Once the detector has indicated the approximate presence of a target in Motion mode, if you are having difficulty locating the target then sweep the place where you heard the sound. Slowly reduce the amplitude of your movements and make a mental note of the spot where the sound is loudest. If necessary, indicate it with a mark on the ground. Then move a quarter turn around the spot and begin sweeping again in the same way (at 90° to the first sweep). You should then locate the precise zone containing your target at the intersection of the two sweeps, where the sound is loudest. Continue with crossed sweeps over the target. The loudest and highest pitched audio signal indicates the centre of the coil and therefore the position of the target. Target 42 Dēus is a precision device, designed to better address any detection constraints and be as robust as possible. Despite this, it is important to take care of it and exercise certain precautions in order to prolong its life: Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries. Ideally you should discharge/recharge the batteries at least once a month, and if possible store them 40 to 70% charged. Do not expose your detector to extreme temperatures, particularly inside a car in full sun. Do not expose your detector to the sun without reason when it is not being used. When you switch on the detector ensure that the coil is not near any metal objects. Neither the remote control nor the headphones are waterproof. In wet weather be sure to protect them! Use the storage case that is supplied with the headphones and never carry them at the bottom of a bag without protection. Use the case that is supplied with the remote control to protect it in adverse conditions, and when the detector is stored away. Do not use solvents or alcohol to clean the detector. Soapy water is sufficient. Depending on how you use your detector, it may be advisable to clean its elements regularly. A damp cloth can be used to clean the non-waterproof parts (headphones and remote control). After use, remove any dirt from the stem’s locking mechanisms. 43 You become aware of abnormal performance, instability, false signals, misplaced interference, for no apparent reason CAUSES SOLUTIONS Sensitivity is too high. Lower it. You are in a zone with a lot of interference (high-voltage power lines, electric transformer, electric fence). Lower the sensitivity or move to a different zone. There is a storm nearby and the electromagnetic discharges of lightning are interfering with the detector. Switch off and wait for the storm to pass You are close to other working metal detectors. Change or shift the frequency (pg 11/12). You switched on the detector with the coil near a metal surface or near the stem’s aluminium tube (in the folded-up position). Switch it off, then on again with the coil in the air and the stem fully deployed, away from any sources of metal. The ground balance is set too low. In manual mode set it to 90. The battery is discharged. Recharge it. The ground is heavily infested with iron and other metals. Find a less infested place. Don’t practice in your garden! The coil does not switch on, unlike the remote control and the headphones CAUSES 44 SOLUTIONS You have a different coil selected in the menu : OPTION / Coil from the remote control or in the menu COIL from the headphones. Select the corresponding coil (pg 24/29). The serial number of the coil that you had entered in the remote control was incorrect or was changed inadvertently. Check the coil’s serial number (pg 24/30). The coil battery is drained. Recharge it. The coil battery has reached the end of its lifespan. Contact your reseller or XP. The coil is defective. Contact your reseller or XP. There is no detection sound in the headphones despite them being switched on (and pressing the buttons generates an audible beep) CAUSES SOLUTIONS Check that you do not have a different coil selected in the COIL menu (pg 29/30). Select the right coil (pg 29/30). The headphones have not yet been paired with the coil. Pair them (pg 30). The coil’s serial number was changed inadvertently in the headphones and the headphones are no longer paired with the coil. Pair them (pg 30). There is no sound in the headphones when passing over a target and pressing the buttons generates no audible beep CAUSES SOLUTIONS The backphone is faulty. Change it, it is easy to replace (pg 31/48). The earpiece is faulty, for example its keypad was poorly reconnected to the circuit after being dismounted, or the audio contacts are faulty or dirty. Contact your reseller or XP. Too many false signals when the coil is knocked CAUSES SOLUTIONS The ground balance is set too low. Adjust the ground balance to 90 then try again. Difficult ground, highly mineralised and infested. Change to a different zone. The detectors beeps on potery and "hot rocks" CAUSES Ground control is too low.

These recommendations will enable everyone to enjoy their hobby to the full while respecting laws, places, the environment and other people. Ensure you are informed of current legislation relating to discovery of treasure in order to abide by the law. Declare any fortuitous archaeological discoveries to the local authorities (town hall) of the discovery site within 48 hours. Before prospecting on a site, obtain permission from its owner(s) or guardian(s). Respect the natural environment in which you are prospecting and any other places to which you need access. Systematically back-fill any holes you make so as to leave a site exactly how you found it. Keep any rubbish you find in order to dispose of it in a dustbin. Avoid detecting in areas where battles are known to have taken place during wartime. Exercise extreme caution with any suspect object resembling munitions, grenades, mines, shells, bombs, etc. and notify the relevent authorities (police, local authorities, etc.) of any such object you find.

IC:8392A-XP225 IC:8392A-XPIHM IC:8392A-XPBKF Responsible party: XPLORER SARL 31320 Castanet Tolosan Safety relating to electromagnetic radio waves This product complies with standards for user safety with regard to electromagnetic waves. The strength of the radio signals used is considerably weaker and on a much smaller scale than those emitted by mobile telephones (2,000 to 4,000 times weaker), as well as being much less than those used by Wi-Fi systems. Moreover, when the complete system is used, the audio headphones only act as a passive radio receiver, and do not emit any signals. 56 If this symbol is displayed on the product or its packaging, it means that the product must not be disposed of with your household waste.
