Assembling the CS2MX
The stem lock should be slackened to allow the lower stem to enter the upper stem
section. The spring clip should be pressed in to allow the lower stem to slide into
the upper stem. This spring clip will pop into any of the holes in the upper stem
and firmly fix the two stems together. The twist lock will stop any movement in the stems.
The search-head lead may then be wound around the stem as shown in the photograph.
A search-head lead which is not well secured to the stem could move about causing
false signals. Cable ties or tape may be used to hold the lead in position.
Adjust the position of the search-head so that it is parallel to the ground when the user is
in a normal standing position. Tighten the wing-nut on the search-head retaining screw.
Do not over-tighten. Friction of the head lugs against the neoprene washers keeps
the search-head in position. Excessive pressure on these parts should not be necessary.
(If some form of lubricant should ever find its way onto these washers it will be necessary
to disassemble the parts, wash and dry them before careful reassembly).
Undo the 4 battery compartment retaining screws and take out the battery holder.
Fit eight good quality AA type batteries into the compartments of the battery holder.
Observe polarity of the batteries (the spring contact goes against the flat, negative end
of the battery). Roll the batteries in the holder to ensure good contact and replace into
the battery compartment with the contacts on the holder lining up with the contacts
in the compartment. Replace the battery compartment cover being careful to avoid
cross threading the screws. Battery condition is monitored continuously on the CS2MX.
Low battery condition is indicated by a step change in the signal tone to a higher pitch.
