BATTERIES
The CS7 is powered by eight AA batteries (not supplied) available from garages, department stores,
etc. or a single 12v rechargeable pack from C-Scope. It is advisable to use standard batteries to start
with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in
rechargeables is justified.
The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is
located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries
first check the THRESHOLD control is switched to
OFF. Ensure the area around the battery compartment
is clean and dry. Then loosen the four captive screws
located in the battery cover, (do not fully remove these
from the cover), and remove the cover. Inside is the
battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the
connector if it is already fitted. Load it with eight
batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted the
correct way round, (direction of batteries alternating).
Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located
correctly and making proper contact. Replace the
connector making sure that it is firm and well seated,
and put the loaded holder into the housing. Ensure the
rubber ‘O’ ring seal around the edge of the cover and
the groove around the edge of the battery compartment
are clean and free from any sand or dirt before refitting
the cover -
THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THE WATERPROOF INTEGRITY OF THE
DETECTOR DEPENDS ON THIS SEAL
. Refit the cover and tighten the four screws. Ensure the
cover is correctly seated and that the seal is in tight contact all the way round the edge of the
compartment. This can be easily seen by observing the black ‘O’ ring through the clear cover.
Note
: batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, so remember
to remove them if the detector is not going to be used for several weeks.
TAKE CARE
Damage to the sealing surfaces can lead to extensive internal deterioration which can not be
covered by our warranty
.
BATTERY CHECK
A battery condition indicator is provided on the detector. To do this for the first time prior to reading
the remainder of the operating instructions proceed as follows:-
A)
Turn the FREQUENCY control to BATT. CHECK and turn the THRESHOLD control
clockwise until it ‘clicks’ away from the OFF position. The GREEN LED will come ON if the
batteries are good; the YELLOW LED will come ON indicating the batteries are in poor
condition. If you are using rechargeable batteries they should be recharged. If the RED LED
