Customer Questions & Expert Answers
Does this manual cover both the Minelab Vanquish 440 and the Vanquish 540?
Yes, this manual covers both the Minelab Vanquish 440 and the Minelab Vanquish 540. Minelab publishes one instruction manual for the pair, so the same document explains the four search modes, the sensitivity and iron bias settings and the assembly steps for either detector, noting where the 540 adds features. The Minelab Vanquish 340 is documented separately, and you will find it with our other digital manuals.

What batteries does the Minelab Vanquish 440 take?
The Minelab Vanquish 440 takes four AA alkaline batteries, which are not rechargeable. The Minelab Vanquish 540 uses four AA NiMH rechargeable cells and ships with a charger and batteries in the box. The two detectors share the same battery compartment, so 440 owners can move to rechargeable AA cells if they prefer. Our Vanquish AA rechargeable battery pack fits both.

What are the four search modes on the Minelab Vanquish 440 and 540?
The Minelab Vanquish 440 and 540 both run four search modes: Coin, Jewellery, Relic and Custom. Coin and Jewellery reject most iron and small trash while keeping the targets their names suggest, Relic opens acceptance up for larger finds near ferrous ground, and Custom holds a discrimination pattern you set yourself. The manual walks through changing modes and editing the Custom pattern. See the Minelab Vanquish 540 range.
