Preparation
ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.
-
Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
-
Lengthen or shorten the stem so when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 1/2 to 2 inches above the ground with your arm relaxed at your side.
-
Turn the stem’s lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in place.
-
Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and connector. Insert the stem and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem.
Push the connector through the holes, then replace and tighten the knobs.
-
Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable to let you adjust the search coil when you are hunting on uneven ground.
-
Insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control housing so the pins on the plug are aligned with the holes in the jack.
Cautions:
• The search coil’s plug fits into the connector only one way. Do not force the plug or you could damage it.
• To disconnect the search coil’s cable from the detector, grasp the plug and pull it out of the connector. Never pull on the cable. -
Loosen the knob at the search coil’s end, then adjust the search coil to the desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten the knob just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling.
Caution: Do not overtighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to tighten it. -
Loosen the knob at the base of the handle, insert the arm support, and tighten the knob.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your detector requires two 9V alkaline batteries (not supplied) for power. Cautions:
- Use only new batteries of the required size and recommended type.
- Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
- Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
- Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
A Quick Look at Your Metal Detector
Troubleshooting
If your detector is not working as it should, follow these suggestions to see if you can eliminate the problem.
| Problem | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| The detector displays or sounds false signals. | The sensitivity might be set |
too high. Adjust SENSITIVITY.
You might be sweeping the detector’s search coil too fast or at the wrong
angle. Sweep the search coil more slowly
and hold the detector correctly. See “Testing and Using the Detector” on Page
7 and “Pinpointing a Target” on Page 10.
The detector might sound a false signal if it detects heavily oxidized metals.
Try pinpointing the target from several different angles (see “Pinpointing a
Target” on Page 10). If the detector does not display and sound the same
signal each time, the target is probably heavily oxidized metal.
The display does not show the correct metal type when the detector finds a
target. Or, the detector sounds more
than one type of tone when it finds a target.| There might be more than one
target in the area you are searching.
The target might be a type of metal that the detector does not recognize.
If the target is heavily oxidized, the detector might not display the correct
metal type. This is not a malfunction.
The sensitivity might be set too high. Adjust SENSITIVITY.
Care
Keep the metal detector dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the metal detector only in normal temperature environments. Handle the
metal detector carefully; do not drop it. Keep the metal de- rector away from
dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
Modifying or tampering with the metal detector’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
The search coil supplied with the detector is waterproof and can be submerged
in either fresh or salt water. However, do not let water enter the detector’s
control housing. After using the search coil in salt water, rinse it with
fresh water to prevent corrosion of the
metal parts.
