Ok, here I go. Going to the classroom and start reading the tips on here! I have not been so excited since I got my first Minelab Explorer back in the day!

Stephen, read the manual, read it again.
Print it out and take sheets into the field for testing. I find that has helped me understand the how too's

Yep, that! ^^^^

Also, I recommend just putting it into a stock mode and leaving it for the first few days. There's not a lot of adjustments anyway, but the factory presets are pretty good starting points once you understand what each was designed for (info in the user manual)
