| Wireless, Bluetooth & Audio |
|---|
| Bluetooth (consumer pairing) |
NO — the detector is not intended to pair with regular Bluetooth headphones/earbuds like a phone does. |
| Wireless Audio (detector system) |
YES — Low Latency Wireless Audio for compatible Minelab wireless headphones. |
| Can other Bluetooth headphones be used? | -
Direct wireless pairing: No (standard Bluetooth headphones are not supported for direct connection).
-
Workarounds:
-
Wired: Use the detector’s 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack (best for zero-lag). Bose must support a cable.
-
External Bluetooth transmitter: Plug a BT transmitter into the 3.5mm jack and pair your Bluetooth headphones to the transmitter (adds latency; not Minelab-supported; transmitter must be kept dry).
Practical note: even if a transmitter works, most music headphones add noticeable lag compared with Minelab low-latency audio. |

| Computer Requirements (Minimum) | -
Device type: Laptop/Desktop only (smartphones & tablets are not compatible)
-
USB: USB 2.0 port
-
Windows: Windows 10 + ~50 MB free space
-
Mac: macOS 10.15 or later + ~85 MB free space
|
| Update Connection (Detector) | Use the detector’s magnetic USB charging cable to connect to the computer, then power the detector ON.
Coil must be connected to perform the detector update. |
| Internet Requirement | Internet is required to download the MUU to the computer, but an internet connection is not required to perform the actual detector/headphone update (can be done offline). |
| Settings Preservation | User settings are intended to be preserved during update; however, interruption at certain times carries a small risk of settings loss. |
| Update Duration | Typical install time is around 10 minutes (device will reboot during the process). |
| Failure / Recovery Behaviour | If an update is interrupted, the MUU is designed to be recoverable by restarting the device and MUU. The detector may boot with a blank screen + fast flashing green LED, indicating update mode ready to accept an update. |
| Downgrading Firmware | The MUU contains released versions of MANTICORE software; to downgrade you select a previous version inside the MUU (menu) and install. |
| ML 105 Headphones Firmware Update (If Available) | Connect ML 105 headphones to the computer using the supplied USB-C charging cable. Headphones power on during update and indicate status via LED. |
