1. ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
Assembling the detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow the steps
as below:
• Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
• Lengthen or shorten the stem for comfortable use. When you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 0.5-2 inches above the
ground with your arm relaxed at your side.
• Then, turn the stem’s lock nut counter clockwise to lock it in place.
• Loosen the knobs at the search coil’s end, and then adjust the search coil to the
desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten the
knobs just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling.
2. INSTALLING BATTERY
You need one 9V alkaline battery to power your detector.
• If the detector is on, turn the power switch (on the control panel) to POWER OFF.
• Press on the battery compartment cover and slide the cover off in the direction of
the arrow.
• Insert the battery into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and -) marked inside the compartment.
• Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak battery; battery can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
• If you do not plan to use the detector for a week or more, remove the battery.
• Dispose of old battery promptly and properly.
3. USING HEADPHONES
You can connect a pair of stereo headphones (not included) to the detector, so you
can listen to it privately. Using headphones also saves battery power and makes it
easier to identify subtle changes in the sounds you hear, for better detection results.
To connect headphones to the detector, insert the headphones’ 3.5mm plug into the
headphone jack on the control panel.
Note: the detector’s built-in speaker disconnects when you connect headphones.
LISTENING SAFETY
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
• After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• 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. Your ears adapt to the volume level
over time, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds
when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
