Jewelry, Coin and Artifact modes have predefined audio tones for the various
Target Category groupings. The Custom mode is programmable and users
can assign any tone to any of the Target Category groups. The Custom modes
default tone for all categories is a single proportional tone (V.C.O.). V.C.O.
varies in pitch and volume depending on the depth and size of the target. The
custom tones are automatically saved when the unit is turned off.
