Hi C.J.M., I have a nice 6000 di pro sl, but don't use it much. It is a back killer, I just can't swing it long. I have a broken back, and it makes it hard to do. I have some books on the detector, I will look it up and send you the startup settings. It is raining here this will give me something to do. I will get back with you soon. flintstone

CJM, if you can send your phone number I can takepic. of book and send to you. That way you can keep on your phone. It is about 5 or 6 pages. Dean

That was one of the all-time-great machines. Very versatile. Good on land and salt water beaches, etc....

Just set it on all the knob presets "P" . And adjust accordingly from there, for your preferences.

I have the 5900 which doesn’t have the volume control and also doesn’t have the auto ground balance...you should be able to go onto Whites website and download the manual... basically I put all my dials on “ p” then ground balance by putting into GEB norm mode, bob coil while adjusting tuner knob ... once you get use to it you can run signal balance about 75% full ... great machine for hunting trashy areas ... fast recovery, you can cherry pic dimes and quarters even in areas trashed with can slaw, just dial up disc till zinc pennies disappear and your set... despite being 6.59 frequency it hits very good on small gold including chains if set up hot....pinpoint is very good too.I just use a screwdriver when park hunting..I pry up anything 4” deep or shallower...depth is good too,not crazy like multi frequency machines but good nonetheless... the small 5.3 round coil is a great accessory to have with it.. I find the older original thinner pancake coils are a lot more sensitivie than the thicker later replacement coils..good luck...
