At Minelab, we understand your passion. Your need to hunt in all terrains
and our pursuit of perfection, means VANQUISH is now better than ever.
VANQUISH just became more powerful.
For the serious detectorist, new Iron Volume
Control in the VANQUISH 540 puts you in
charge of how much iron you want to hear,
making trashy and mineralised soils easier
to conquer. For greater control and a simply
better detecting experience, hit the download
button on the new update now.
VANQUISH 540 Iron Volume Control
Detecting in heavy iron trash is enhanced
with the new Iron Volume Control feature.
10-step adjustments let you decrease the
volume of iron all the way down to a whisper,
while leaving desirable targets (non-ferrous)
loud and clear. To engage Iron Volume Control,
simply hold down the All Metal button, while
simultaneously using the Volume buttons to
adjust to your liking.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
The upgrade also includes improved battery
handling capability for all models, as well as a
new low battery alert.

Minelab Update Utility — VANQUISH
(MUU) Details:
Locate the Micro USB
connector inside the battery
compartment.
Open the Minelab Update
Utility. Connect the
VANQUISH to the computer
USB port with the Micro-USB
cable. VANQUISH will
automatically power on when
connected to the computer.
When VANQUISH is
identified, the MUU will
communicate with the
detector and determine the
current software version. If
an update is available, the
MUU will display “Updates are
available for your detector”.
Click INSTALL to begin
upgrade or QUIT to close MUU.
The VANQUISH detector
screen will show “UP”
during the update; the first
discrimination segment will
blink rapidly while the update
is in progress.
If your VANQUISH is up to
date, the application will
display “Your detector is up to
date” and prompt you to QUIT
the application.
Installation will take
approximately one minute.
Once the upgrade is complete,
VANQUISH will restart and
the MUU will prompt you to
disconnect the detector and
QUIT the application.
Note: Close the application
and reopen if updating
multiple VANQUISH detectors.
Carefully insert the low-profile
Micro-USB connector. NOTE:
care should be taken to insert
the connector straight as
inserting at an angle may
cause damage to the detector.
