The XP Deus controller battery (part #DO88M-WTUBE) can be replaced. The manual states that the controller and pinpointer use the same 700 mAh battery. While several sellers offer compatible batteries, it is important to ensure compatibility before purchasing. The replacement process is not highly complex, but if the detector is under warranty, having XP perform the replacement is recommended to avoid voiding the warranty and to maintain waterproofing.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR XP METAL DETECTOR AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION! You have invested in a high-tech detector capable of exceptional performance, which was designed and developed in France. You are therefore helping our Company to further research in the eld of metal detecting and we thank you for your contribution.

TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION continued ... Dēus is also exceptional in being able to function without the remote control, with just the coil and the wireless headphones, for an even more compact, lightweight con guration ! Like the remote control, the headphones contain all the components needed for detection, they are a genuine control unit in themselves, but on an ultra-miniature scale and rain proof.
LIST OF PARTS The box for your Dēus metal detector (subject to version purchased) contains the following parts: One assembled fully telescopic stem One connection cable: USB / one mini-B plug (Only when purchased with remote control) One set of wireless headphones with One connection cable: USB / three mini-B plugs storage case ( subject to version purchased...

Con guring the main detection settings. MENU Press MENU Scroll through the menu by pressing Adjust the Discrimination level (from 0 to 99) with MENU NOTCH Exit with to return to the main menu. DISC SENS. FREQ. EXPERT Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below which certain metals are di erentiated.
DISCRIMINATION continued... Depending on the frequency setting used, a target’s conductivity is perceived di erently by the detector. The digital conductivity display may therefore vary depending on the frequency. The 0 to 10 range relates to the rejection of iron. To achieve greater MENU precision in this range there is a digit after the decimal point (from 2.1 to 9.9).
Scroll through the frequencies with MENU Exit with SENS. FREQ. IRON VOL. REACTIVITY EXPERT Dēus gives you the choice of four detection frequencies (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz and 18 kHz) which cover most detection needs. They enable you to adapt your research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and the targets to be detected.
Adjust the Iron Volume (from 0 to 5) with MENU Exit with FREQ. IRON VO. REACTIVITY You have the option of controlling the sound volume of the low-pitched AUDIO RESP. tone which generally corresponds to iron. Depending on the circumstances, this enables more attention to be paid to other sounds, by reducing those generated by iron.
Adjust the Reactivity from 0 to 5 with MENU IRON VOL. Exit with REACTIV. AUDIO RESP. NOTCH EXPERT The Reactivity is a vital setting that determines the detector’s performance in terms of how quickly it analyses the signal from detected objects and its ability to separate the signals from two targets located close together.
Page 16
Example Passing the coil over an iron object close to the surface then over a good metal target (ring). With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for a longer duration, to the extent that it completely hides the ring. No sound With a medium Reactivity level, you begin detecting the ring.
AUDIO RESPONSE Adjust the Audio Response from 0 to 7 with MENU Exit with REACTIVITY AUDIO R. NOTCH The Audio Response enables you to amplify the sound volume of DISC distant targets and therefore to be more alert to them. It gives the sensation of greater power, however it does not provide any additional depth as this setting only a ects the sound curve (the dynamic range of sounds).
General features The di erent levels of soil mineralisation you encounter when prospecting can sometimes a ect the performance of your detector. For example, this may be due to natural magnetic mineralisation such as iron oxide, hot rocks and magnetite, or sporadic mineralisation from sites of former human settlement (also magnetic): hearths, pottery, hot rocks, slag, etc.

PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO USE OF THE POWER ADAPTOR AND BATTERY Acceptable ambient temperature during charging: 0° to 35°C Maximum Recommended storage temperature: 25°C Batteries The batteries are tted with internal protection systems which shield them from extreme overloads and discharges. They must not be dismantled or short-circuited, which is dangerous and could destroy the protection systems or cause the batteries to ignite.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION Metal detecting is a fascinating leisure activity that can bring you a lot of satisfaction. However, it requires a minimum of learning in order to get the most enjoyment. Begin by familiarising yourself with your equipment and its operation on a suitable practice ground. To do this, we recommend that you take an assortment of di erent objects: coins, everyday items, metal rubbish, etc.
Page 44
When you are detecting, you are free to choose the rate at which you move. For example, if you prefer to cover a zone at high speed while detecting, this will certainly give you a global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, it is clear that this way of detecting will also leave large areas of ground unexplored between each sweep.
Page 45
Dēus is a precision device, designed to be as robust as possible. Despite this, it is important to take care of it and exercise certain precautions in order to prolong its life: Do not store your device for long periods with discharged batteries. Ideally you should discharge/recharge the batteries at least once a month, and if possible store them 40 to 70% charged.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DETECTORISTS / THE LAW Detecting is an activity which, like other leisure activities, requires a few general guidelines. These recommendations will enable everyone to enjoy their hobby to the full while respecting laws, places, the environment and other people. Ensure you are informed of current legislation relating to discovery of treasure in order to abide by the law.
