I have a hard time switching from target ID to target sizing and other double function presses on my control box. I know you are suppose to hold it in to get it to change, but most the time it doesn't. Is there a trick to it?
Thanks!
Cindy

No trick. Push the button to enter Pinpoint mode, then press and hold the Pinpoint button approx 3sec to toggle. PS will be displayed for 2sec when Pinpoint Sizing is selected, and PA will be dislayed when toggled back to Pinpoint Auto. Auto is the default.

Thanks Bart!

Cindy, another option utilized by some is the Prospector Mode. It is a no-motion mode similar to the pinpoint mode, but doesn't ratchet down with subsequent passes over a target, and will allow you to quickly switch back and forth. You can trace the outline of a potential target as you would in PinPoint Sizing, but you wll lose the ID.

Mine must be defective then, I do it right, it just doesn't cooperate! Thanks for the information.

Good Plan!!! I will use that technique the next time I go out!
