Notes Before Use

- This detector is for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors. Many home appliances 

  can emit electromagnetic waves, and will interfere with the detector. 

- For indoor testing, keep the search coil away from electronics such as microwave 

  ovens, computers and TVs. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off the electronic 

  appliances and lights, especially those with dimmer switches.

- Read this manual before using.
