Red Heat XD-17

I purchased this detector and need some help with the controls. The manual is very simple and does not give information on all the controls and switches. If anyone knows anything about this unit please let me know.

thanks plumbabob, that is one of the videos that caused me to purchase the detector. There are several controls that are not discussed. Two sensitivity knobs, a boost control, a toggle switch mounted on the front of the control box next to a Pot. All these are not discussed in the manual or videos. Just looking for someone who can shed some light on the functions. Also a red button on top of the handle grip. Who knows?

Thanks

maybe the red button on the handle grip is a pinpointer mode ?

Several users on other forums have been saying the same thing, that the manual does not describe all the controls. I have searched, but could not even find a manual to download. Perhaps you could upload a scanned copy here.

Yes I plan to post a copy soon. I was not able to find one so I think I will share mine.
