MANUAL

If you do not
have prior experience
with a metal detector, we
strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low

setting in the event of false signals.

Always begin use at a reduced sensitivity
level; increase to full sensitivity after you
have become familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors.  

This detector is for outdoor

use only.  Many household appliances emit
electromagnetic energy, which can interfere with the detector.  If
conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down
and keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as
computers, televisions and microwave ovens.  If your detector
beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.

Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal,
such as floors and walls.

3)

Use a 9-volt 

ALKALINE

battery only.

Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.
