Wish That A User Manual Specifically.....

.....for the 600 existed. I am always chasing a non working correction from the manual to only find that "this isn't available on the 600", AND that information seems to be left out entirely. Frustrated

There's a write-up on Minelabs site that specifically details the differences between the 600 & 800, maybe that'll help.

Minelab is a cheapskate when it comes to manuals--no printed manual at all.

That's my point...there is obvious, acknowledged skewed information in the actual manual, for a new release of a product...which must be data mined by a new owner. Not very professional from an established manufacturer. Who wants to have to fumble out on a hunt for info on a simple adjustment, referencing more than one site other smartphone, or having to go through the pain to print a manual and edit it themselves. Not me. MInelab should be on top of that revision as I type.

I downloaded the PDF Manual

I am able to highlight the wording in different colors

Using one color for the 600 only functions - another color for the 800 only functions

Hoping this helps sort out the confusion

I agree, and my only gripe with this detector.

I have an Idea for Minelab...........my 600 came with 8 or 10 different screen protectors with writing at the bottom in different languages i.e. Mongolian, Arabic, Chinese etc. Funny though not one in English, they had to send me one. Anyway, I don't think anyone needs the writing on the screen protector. I quickly learned the functions. Just include one screen protector (no writing) then with the money they saved put that towards a manual.

I feel your frustration, I just read in the manual how to do a manual noise cancel. So I go to try it and apparently is only works on the 800

Minelab gave us a huge spiral bound manual with the explorer but since then its gotten cheaper and less with each new machine

Im sure we can thank the bean counters for that as its a cost savings

The manual seems pretty clear to me. Any feature that is for the 800 only is marked with an *. Page 2 at the bottom states...

"An asterisk appears throughout the manual, indicating features only included with the EQUINOX 800 model."
