New Manticore users.
The manual for detector on minelab.com doesn’t reflect changes done to detector involving update offered since initial model release. Folks receiving new Manticores- I can’t say which software version your new detector will possess.
I don’t think you get a hard copy user’s manual either.
Seems the actual update is not accessible via minelab.com.
It can be seen here though in this link. A Minelab usa site it seems.
 
Okay. I went back this morning and looked. Manual now reflects what update added.
This update though cannot be accessed using minelab.com. Website.
It can be accessed doing google search minelab usa.
You’ll see Manticore software update listed.

Yes, up until a couple days ago, Minelab’s website was inconsistent…they have the manual accessible from a couple different spots, but apparently they had forgotten to update all of the links. I lucked out when I bought mine last week - I happened to access the manual from their metal detector page which correctly listed and linked to the version 2 manual (https://www.minelab.com/usa/metal-detectors/manticore, under the “downloads” tab). Steve H. over at detectorprospector noticed the problem late last week - he unfortunately tried to access the manual from Minelab’s Support/Product Manual & Guides page (https://www.minelab.com/usa/support/downloads/product-manuals-guides), and it still only listed and linked to the original version 1 manual. He ranted a little about it on his forum, and it must’ve gotten Minelab’s attention, ‘cuz it’s fixed now! :D

Anyway, here is the direct link from Minelab if anyone wants to download the updated, version 2.0 manual:
