CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1. SILENCER: When the toggle switch is flipped ON,

the 1236-X2 runs in the 3rd derivative SILENCER

discrimination mode, eliminating the annoying

“pops” and “clicks” heard when searching in

extremely trashy areas. Flipping it to OFF, the

1236-X2 runs in classic 2nd derivative discrimination

mode.

2. DISC: This control sets the discrimination level. At

a setting of 0, all types of metal are detected. At

higher settings, less conductive objects and trash

are rejected. When the DISC control is fully rotated

(counterclockwise) to the IRON preset, the 1236-

X2 is set to reject common trash and nails.

Note: The DISC Control has no effect in PINPOINT

mode.

3. SENSITIVITY: This control adjusts sensitivity to

targets and ground minerals. The higher the setting,

the deeper you’ll detect. However, you will also

pick up more false signals in highly mineralized or

trashy soil. At a setting of 10, a slight amount of audio

threshold is provided so the faintest of targets can

be heard. At the BATTERY setting, a battery test tone

is sounded. A loud tone indicates good batteries.
