If you're planning to upgrade to the new XP DEUS II Elliptical 9.5" x 5" HF2 FMF High Power Precision Coil, there's one important step you'll need to take first: update your DEUS II software to ensure full compatibility and peak performance.
Why the Update Matters
This new high-power coil brings enhanced frequency options, ultra-sensitive detection, and improved ground handling-but to take full advantage, your DEUS II must be running the right firmware version.
According to XP, your system should be updated to firmware version 2.0 or newer (depending on the coil's release timing). This update ensures that the control unit-or the WS6 Module, if you're using the WS6 Master configuration-can properly recognize and communicate with the new coil.
How to Perform the Update
Updating your DEUS II is straightforward. Here's how to get it done:
- Download the XP DEUS II Update software from the official XP website. It's available for both Windows and macOS.
- Charge your detector and accessories fully before beginning the update. This includes the remote control, WS6 module (if applicable), and headphones.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in the update utility.
After updating, navigate to the coil pairing menu on your DEUS II and ensure the new coil is detected and paired correctly.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Update
- Use a stable internet connection and USB cable when updating via your computer.
- Always allow the update tool to run fully and avoid disconnecting devices mid-process.
- After pairing the coil, double-check settings like sensitivity and frequency range to explore the coil's full capabilities.
Final Thoughts
The XP DEUS II Elliptical HF2 FMF Coil is an exciting addition for detectorists looking for precision in tight spaces and mineralized ground. But don't skip the software update-it's essential for unlocking everything this coil has to offer.
