Quick Start Guide

Use Plus / Minus SENS buttons to select desired sensitivity.

Sensitivity

Use the SENS Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to select one

of eight (8) Sensitivity levels. Default setting is 6.

Use increased sensitivity when searching for very

small or very deep targets. Use lower sensitivity levels,

as needed, when the detector is behaving erratically

(due to excessive metallic trash, highly mineralized

soils, electrical interference or the presence of other

metal detectors) and the erratic operation cannot be

resolved with Ground Balance or Frequency Scan.

Note: The Axiom is a very high-performance detector.

The upper Sensitivity settings (6 –8) are extremely

sensitive and should only be used if environmental

conditions and operator’s skill level allows.

Axiom may be noisy when attempting to operate

indoors or in city (urban) environments due to excessive

EMI. Perform a Frequency Scan and reduce sensitivity

as needed to obtain stable operation. The unit’s highest

sensitivity levels are designed for experienced users

accustomed to operating their detectors at the very

limits of marginal stability in order to obtain maximum

possible performance.

It is recommended to operate at factory default

sensitivity until the operator becomes experienced and

accustomed to Axiom’s high-sensitivity operation.
