Gain Control:
The gain control allows you to adjust the amount of signal the heat seeker will show the maximum reading at. The maximum gain level
is 64 and the minimum level is 0. Turn the gain down to block out weaker signals to concentrate on higher ones. Use the buttons (
3
) to
adjust the gain level. Press once to change in one level increments. Press and hold for more than one second to change at one level per
0.1 seconds. To insure maximum gain, hold increase button for 30 seconds. If the unit does not light up all 7 LEDs the battery may be
weak and should be replaced.

Troubleshooting Tips
:
When should I change batteries?
To ensure maximum gain, hold increase button for 30 seconds. If
the unit does not light up all 7 LEDs the battery may be weak and
should be changed.
I have just inserted batteries into my unit, but it does not turn
on.
The batteries included with the unit are covered in a protective
wrapping. Be sure to remove the wrapping, if any, from the battery
before installing.
What is the best way to detect heat using the HeatSeeker?
Be sure to scan
horizontally
with the HeatSeeker, not vertically.
Set the unit on maximum gain by holding the increase button for 30
seconds. Scan ground cover in a shaded area; you should see very
few signals. Then scan your HeatSeeker toward a definite heat
source, such as an animal, person, or automobile with a warm
engine. You should have no trouble receiving a strong signal.
