Quattro User Guide.

[Anonymous]

Iam taking a friend out on Sunday who has the Quattro and is struggling with it.
Iam a seasoned Explorer user and intend to help him.
Is there a on site user guide that I could have a look at?
Thanks,Jerry.

I dont know if Minelab has the owners manual on their site or not, but the book is very small compared to the Explorer as there is not that much to learn.
A few tips I picked up while using mine before freeze up. It is differnt than the Explorer first thing off. It will lock on to targets better than the Explorer, but being this is the case sometimes anything that is metal next to a coin will read as a coin too. What I found is everytime I get a good signal see where it was, then raise the coil up so that it seen nothing for a couple of seconds so it would reset. Now I would go right back to that target and if it nulled or the tone changed that would be the ID of that target. Now if you got that nice tone of a coin chance was it was a good target.
If you are going to be in a area with a lot of nails or targets than run the high trash density so it can reset after seeing a null of a nail to get the signal of a good target.
If you use the pinpoint of the detector I find that it too may have to wait a couple of seconds before or after you push the pinpoint button for it to accual see the target in the feild, in the air test you will not see this and work correctly. I feel both the slow recovery and the pinpoint has to do with how well it will lock on to a good target, even better than the Explorer I feel. This makes it easier to hear the good targets, but takes a little different learning of it.
One thng it says to do after you do any adjustments is to noise cancel before you go back to detecting.
I also find that being you dont have dual digital like the XS II or the Smartfind to tell the ferrous content I will use the coin mode with uses conductivity tones, then check in the all metal or relic mode to check the ferrous tones. A copper or silver coins will sound the same and a nickle will have a better tone in the all metal or relic mode.
Like I say it is differnt and I would run the factory presets untill you have learned it a little and if you are going to have both detector at the same site it would be nice to compare signals. I did some comparing with the Quattro and shock the guy using the Explorer as what I could see and how well it could see it.
