4.2. شحن البطارية
The X-TERRA Pro features an internal rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. Before first use, fully charge the detector.
- Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the charging port on the control unit.
- Plug the other end into a USB power adapter (not supplied) or a computer USB port.
- سيُظهر مؤشر البطارية على الشاشة حالة الشحن. يستغرق الشحن الكامل عادةً حوالي 4-6 ساعات.
4.3. التشغيل الأولي
اضغط مع الاستمرار على زر التشغيل (⏻) for approximately 2 seconds to turn on the detector. The display will illuminate, and the detector will perform a brief self-test.
5. Operating the Minelab X-TERRA Pro
5.1. Search Modes
The X-TERRA Pro offers three primary search modes optimized for different environments:
- حديقة: مثالي للمناطق التي تكثر فيها النفايات مثل الحدائق والبيئات الحضرية.
- مجال: Suitable for open fields, agricultural land, and general relic hunting.
- شاطئ: Optimized for wet sand and saltwater conditions, minimizing false signals from mineralization.
To select a search mode, press the وضع button and navigate using the arrow keys. Confirm your selection by pressing the يدخل زر.
5.2. PRO-SWITCH (Switchable Frequency Technology)
PRO-SWITCH allows you to change the operating frequency of your detector to suit different targets and ground conditions. Available frequencies are 5 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz.
- Lower Frequencies (5 kHz, 8 kHz): Generally better for deeper, larger targets and highly mineralized ground.
- Higher Frequencies (10 kHz, 15 kHz): More sensitive to smaller, shallower targets like small coins and jewelry.
To change the frequency, press the تكرار button and use the arrow keys to select your desired frequency. Press يدخل للتأكيد.
5.3. ضبط الإعدادات
The X-TERRA Pro offers various adjustable settings to fine-tune your detecting experience:
- حساسية: Controls the detector's responsiveness to targets. Increase for deeper detection, decrease to reduce ground noise.
- مقدار: يضبط مستوى إخراج الصوت.
- تمييز: Allows you to reject unwanted trash targets (e.g., iron).
- التوازن الأرضي: Calibrates the detector to the ground mineralization, reducing false signals. Automatic and manual options are available.
- أوضاع الصوت: Select from 5 different audio modes to customize target tones.
Refer to the on-screen menu for detailed adjustments. Use the arrow keys to navigate and يدخل to select/confirm.
A video demonstrating the control panel and settings adjustment would be embedded here if available.
6. الصيانة والعناية
6.1. التنظيف
- After each use, wipe down the control unit and shaft with a damp قطعة قماش.
- Rinse the search coil and lower shaft with fresh water if used in saltwater or muddy conditions. Ensure the coil connector is sealed.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the detector's finish and seals.
6.2. التخزين
- قم بتخزين جهاز الكشف في مكان بارد وجاف بعيدًا عن أشعة الشمس المباشرة ودرجات الحرارة القصوى.
- في حالة التخزين لفترة طويلة، تأكد من شحن البطارية جزئيًا (حوالي 50٪) لإطالة عمرها الافتراضي.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on the detector.
7. استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها
| مشكلة | السبب المحتمل | حل |
|---|---|---|
| لا يوجد طاقة | Battery discharged; Power button not pressed correctly. | Charge the battery; Press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds. |
| إشارات خاطئة مفرطة | High sensitivity; Improper ground balance; Electromagnetic interference. | Reduce sensitivity; Perform ground balance; Move away from power lines or other electronics. |
