Turning-on the backlight
To turn-on the LCD screen backlight (for search when it’s dark), just double-press the
POWER LEVEL button. To turn the backlight off, double-press the POWER LEVEL button
once again. As simple as that.
When the backlight is activated, a small icon appears below the battery icon on the main
screen.
Controlling the LCD screen contrast
You can change the LCD screen contrast by pressing the - and + buttons while you are on
the main screen.
Using the wireless headphones (except Light version)
Your Golden Mask 5 is delivered with wireless headphones WS105, so you don’t have to
deal with those nasty wires anymore. The transmitter is integrated in the battery compart-
ment of the detector.
At the backside of the battery compartment you will find a small switch that routes the
sound signal to the speaker or to the wireless transmitter. To use the wireless headphones,
you just switch to WS position and the sound goes to the wireless transmitter. Now you
have to switch-on the headphones by pressing and holding for 2 seconds the on/off but-
ton. When the headphones are ready to work, a red light will start to blink.
When used with the GM5, the WS105 headphones are operated by the three buttons on
the right earphone: on/off, volume+ and volume-. The three other buttons on the left
earphone are not used.
