Functions and Settings
Your Axiom is a highly sensitive pulse induction detector engineered for ease of operation. Each of its specific
settings and functions are fully described in the pages which follow.
Factory Reset
Any changes made to Axiom settings are saved when
the unit is switched off. To return all settings back to
the original Factory values, press and hold the Power
button for five (5) seconds. Axiom will produce a
double beep to indicate that Factory Reset is complete.
Factory settings are:
Sensitivity: 4

Tone: 50
Audio: 01(VCO)
Gnd Balance: 49/49

For Factory Reset, press and hold for 5 seconds, until a
double-beep occurs.
Frequency Scan
Use this function to obtain the quietest operating
frequency. Audio responses can become erratic at
times due to sources of electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Operating near power lines, other detectors, or
anywhere indoors are some common examples of
where EMI can be encountered.
To check for EMI, hold the Axiom searchcoil
completely stationary away from any metal. If the
detector remains noisy then it is caused by EMI.
To perform a Frequency Scan:
• Hold searchcoil stationary away from any metal.
• Press MENU button until FREQ SCAN is highlighted.
• Use the MENU plus (+) button to begin process.
• Axiom will scan through 100 frequencies, recheck
the best 5, and then automatically pick the best
frequency. Completion is indicated by a double
beep.
• Takes approximately 45 seconds.
Note: If you have accidentally activated the Frequency
Scan function and wish to exit this process, press the
Minus (-) button to stop the function. The setting will
return to its previous value.
