EXPERT SET TINGS
Notch F ilter
Notch F ilter is the ability of the device to discriminate single or multiple T arget IDs b y not
emitting an audio response f or them or giving a low ir on tone (pleas e ref er to ir on tone in
notch filt er).
Although Notch F ilter may seem similar to Disc. a t first glance , these two settings ha ve
differ ent functions. While the Disc . filters out all IDs between 0 and the set value , the Notch
F ilter filters IDs individually .
With the Notch F ilter you can reject a single ID or multiple IDs at the same time. This process
does not affect any IDs below or above the selected IDs. F or example, you can filter out IDs
between 31-35 as well as 50 simultaneously .
How T o Use The Notch F ilter
When Notch F ilter is selec ted from the Expert Settings, first, the current Disc. value will be
displayed on scr een and discriminated ID range will be shown on the ID scale with lines. F or
example, if the Disc. is set t o 15, when you select Notch F ilter , number 15 will be displayed
on screen corresponding t o 8 lines on the ID scale (every 2 consecutive IDs are repr esented
with 1 line). Notch F ilter cannot be used within the Disc. range . In other words, if the Disc . is
set to 15, Notch F ilter can only be applied to IDs 16 or higher . I f you want t o Notch Filt er IDs
15 or below , first you need to change the Disc. value .
The Notch F ilter rejects or accepts IDs with the help of the cursor at the top of the screen.
T o move the cursor on the scale, plus (+) and minus (-) buttons are used. The cursor blinks
while it is moving on the scale. When you are on the first ID that you want to reject, press
the SELEC T button once. This ID is now rejected and it is shown on the screen with a line. If
you want to reject multiple IDs, continue to pr ess the plus (+) or minus (-) button. If non- con-
secutive IDs want to be rejected, push the SELECT button once to have the cursor blink for
navigation on the scale and repeat the process abov e. The cursor will appear where you left
it the next time you use the Notch F ilter .
T o give an e xample; let's say you w ant to r eject IDs between 20-25 and the cursor is at 10.
Pr ess the plus (+) button un til you r each number 20. Then push the SELEC T button onc e.
Number 20 will be marked with a line. When you r each number 25 using the (+) bu tton
again, IDs betwe en 20-25 will be filtered out and they will be shown on the ID scale with 3
lines (every 2 cons ecutive IDs ar e represented with 1 line).
T o accept back the filtered IDs, select Notch Filter in the menu. The cursor will appear where
you last left it. Using the plus (+) or the minus (-) button, selec t the ID you want to accept and
push the SELEC T button. Then, using the plus (+) or minus (-) button again, unfilter the IDs
back in. 1 line will be erased for every 2 consecutive IDs accepted.
Iron T one in Notch F ilter:
This will enable you to get a low iron tone for your notched out target IDs instead of silencing
them. T o use this feature , first selec t Fe V ol. from the menu and using the plus (+) button
select the iron tone volume between n1-n5. n5 is the maximum level and the iron volume
will be reduced as you go down but it cannot be silenced completely .
