XP DEUS II Coil Pairing Guide: Auto Detect Setup

Need to pair a new coil with your XP DEUS II? The built-in Auto Detect feature makes it fast and easy—no serial number entry required. As long as your coil is connected to the charging clip, the remote will detect and pair it automatically.

This works with any XP DEUS II coil, whether you're setting up a brand new detector or adding an extra coil to your arsenal.

What Is Auto Detect?

Auto Detect allows the DEUS II Remote to automatically find and pair with any coil that's connected to a charge clip. It's the quickest way to register a new coil or re-establish connection after a reset—no menus to dig through, no manual serial number entry.

This feature works with all XP DEUS II RC models and their compatible search coils.

Step-by-Step Coil Pairing Process

1. Power On the XP DEUS II Remote
   Press and hold the power button to turn on your remote.

2. From the Home Screen, Press the OPTION Button
   This opens the main settings menu.

3. Navigate to the Pairing Menu and Select the Coil Icon

   • Use the + and – buttons to toggle between device types.

   • Make sure the coil icon is selected, then press Select once to start pairing.

4. Connect the Coil to the Charging Clip
   Plug the coil into the USB charging clip. This powers it up just enough for the remote to detect it.

5. Wait for the Coil to Be Detected
   The remote will display the coil's serial number once it finds the signal.

6. Press the Center Select Button to Confirm
   Your coil is now successfully paired and ready for use.

Pro Tips for Successful Pairing

• Make sure only one coil is connected to a charger during pairing to avoid confusion.
• The coil must be fully seated in the charging clip to power on and be detected properly.
• If Auto Detect isn't finding your coil, try unplugging and reconnecting the charging clip.
• Multiple coils can be paired to one remote, but only one at a time during the pairing process.

Best XP DEUS II Coil Options

The DEUS II works with various coil sizes and configurations. Popular choices include:

• 11" FMF coils for general-purpose detecting
• 9" round coils for trashy areas and better target separation
• Elliptical coils for navigating tight spaces and improved ground coverage

Troubleshooting Auto Detect Issues

If the Auto Detect feature isn't working:

• Verify the charging clip has power (LED indicator should be visible)
• Clean the coil's charging contacts with a dry cloth
• Try a different charging cable or power source
• Make sure your remote's firmware is up to date

For persistent issues, the metal detector accessories section has replacement charging clips and cables.

With XP's Auto Detect feature, pairing a new coil takes just a few seconds. Whether you're upgrading to a different size or setting up your DEUS II RC + WS6 system for the first time, this streamlined method gets you in the field faster.
