bocash3 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Howdy. Not new to metal detectors by any means, but just took possession of new Fisher F-75 Limited Edition. I see down LEFT side of screen: Discrim, Sensitivity, Disc. Level, Notch, # of Tones, and Process #. HOWEVER, when pressing the MENU button, ONLY the "All Metal" and other choices under it on the RIGHT side of screen are highlighted? I was able to somehow knock out Iron 15 and Foil 25, but now not sure how I did it. Am I missing something? PS: I've ordered 4 new detectors this past month and the F75 was the 4th. I believe it is going to take the place of my 20 year old Whites SLT Spectrum IF I can figure out some of the adjustments. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Have gone cross-eyed from reading the manual and trying to retain everything. THANKS to all in advance! "Bo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimentoUK Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 To get to the 'disc mode', you need to press the mode button until the highlighted option is the top-most one. Then turn the rotary control counter-clockwise one click, and the disc mode is highlighted. Then the mode button will cycle through the left menu. The 'notch' feature is a mess. Poorly designed, poorly documented in the user manual. And you can't assume " Well I never use it, so it's not an issue" , because it's very easy to inadvertently put in some notch. Then the problems start. Thankfully, a simple solution exists: Factory Reset. Learn and relearn how to do this, and 'notch nightmare' is not a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocash3 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Spot-on, Pimento!! THANKS. Am quickly learning the F75's settings can be easily changed by accident!! I did a Reset and will make custom adjustments from there. Machine is similar to my older Whites XLT Spectrum but a lot more static noise. My XLT was steady as a rock on pennies, dimes, and quarters. This F-75 has a learning curve. Thanks for great help!! "Bo" Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocash3 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 THANKS FELLERS! I won't be using Notch settings, but will occasionally knock out the lower end like 15 to 25. Will rely on XLT experience to deal with tabs and crushed cans or lids. I can see the F-75 may run deeper than the XLT but don't get me wrong. The XLT was really good on coins close to surface.

PimentoUK Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Fellers? I'm just one, not a consortium. Best depth is achieved with disc set to Zero or 1. Set Disc to about 11 if you want to lose lots of depth... maybe if you have bad EMI, it could help deal with it, as an addition to lowering the sensitivity.
