ASSEMBLY
Open the carton and remove the main housing assembly. Twist the plastic stem lock,
located at the end of the upper stem to allow the lower stem to be inserted. Adjust for length
and rotate the lower stem to wrap the cable around the stems and take up any slack.
Allowing enough cable for free movement of the search head, push the cable into the cable
slots in the lower stem to hold it firm. Turn the stem lock to fix it at the desired position.
BATTERIES
The R1 is powered by eight AA batteries or a single 12v rechargeable pack from C-Scope. It
is advisable to use standard alkaline 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.
Battery Compartment
The batteries should be fitted in the
holder which is located in the battery
compartment. To fit new batteries
first check the power switch on the
unit is switched to OFF. Then
loosen the two 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 the 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. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws
finger tight.
Once fitted the battery type should be set by selecting the Battery option on the Setup menu.
This ensures that the battery condition is correctly displayed
Note: Batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, so
remember to remove them at the end of a day's searching.
BATTERY CONDITION
The battery condition is continuously monitored and displayed. New or fully charged
batteries should cause the entire battery display to be filled. If the battery symbol is empty
then the batteries should be replaced, or recharged if rechargeable batteries are fitted.
