User’s Manual
To get the most enjoyment from your Metal Detector, we suggest you do the following: 1. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. • Do not use Heavy Duty batteries. • Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Batteries. 2. Make sure the right knob is clicked on (i.e. not in battery-test position). 3. Use your detector OUTDOORS only • Large metal objects inside the home may interfere with the detector’s operation. Floors and walls of most homes contain metal.
Installing Batteries Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only! 1. Remove the battery door from the underside of the detector. push door from side 2. Pull out the two battery connectors. 3. Snap on two 9-volt ALKALINE batteries. Do not use Heavy Duty or ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries. 4. Place batteries into compartment one on top of the other. 5. Replace the battery door. Slide over until it shuts securely in place. All battery brands differ slightly in size.
Quick-Start Demo Try this quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your metal detector: I. Supplies Needed a. A nail b. A zinc penny (pennies dated after 1982 are made of zinc) c. A quarter II. Position Your Detector Keep the detector away from floors, walls, and metal objects. One person holds the detector still, so that another can sweep coins under the coil. Sweep coins under the bottom of the search coil. III. Beginning Settings a. Left Knob: At 6:00 position b.
Adjusting Length Loosen the tube clamping nut 1/4 turn Extend tube assembly 1. Grasp the top tube with one hand. 2. Grasp the search coil with the other hand. 3. Pull two sections apart to slide the bottom tube out of the top tube. Establish Tube Length 1. Pivot the search coil perpendicular to the tube. 2. Place detector in user’s hand, with arm extended. 3. Adjust tube length so that search coil rests on the ground, close to the user’s feet. 4. Align the coil to the detector body. 5.
Battery Test Click the right knob fully counterclockwise (all the way to the left), in order to test the batteries. If the batteries are good, the needle will move to the right and enter the green zone on the indicator label. If the needle does not enter the green zone, replace the batteries. Practicing Outside 1. Turn the detector on a. Rotate left knob clockwise to a high sensitivity setting. b. Click right knob on to exit the “battery test” mode. c.
Sensitivity and Target Elimination Adjusting Sensitivity The left knob clicks on to power the detector on. After turning on, the left knob is used to control the detector’s sensitivity level. In the 100% clockwise position, the detector is at maximum sensitivity. At this level, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, like a quarter, up to 5” away from the coil. Very large metal objects will be detected up to one and one-half feet from the search coil at maximum sensitivity.
Operation in the Field Sweep the search coil from side to side, in slow, overlapping motions. Keep the search coil parallel to the ground. Keep search coil 1/2” off the ground and try not to make contact with the ground. The coil should be swung in a half- circle movement as illustrated here. Repeat this motion every step you take to guarantee that the area is being covered thoroughly. WRONG Try not to lift the search coil at the end of your sweeps.
Pinpointing Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the suspected target area. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs as you move the coil slowly from side to side. Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
