The battery symbol gives a good representation of battery condition. This means that as the
batteries drain, the symbol will gradually empty. Generally when the battery is half full you
are about halfway through the charge, or life, of that battery pack. The amount of time varies
depending on a number of factors including battery type, make, outside temperature and
detector settings.
TIP!
To maximise battery life:
1) Ensure that the backlight
symbol is not showing on the display.
2) Keep volume control set as low as possible.
3) Use
Headphones.

This unique continuously scrolling RADAR is a view of the signal received by the R1 circuit.
It can be used as an additional tool to analyse any signals. It is also a useful Pin Pointing
aid. It is visible in both full screen search mode and when the first level menus are displayed.
The sensitivity of the RADAR display is controlled by the Pin Point Gain setting.
SEARCH HEAD SIZE
This displays the size of the currently fitted head. If no head is fitted or under certain head
fault conditions the display will show ‘

BATTERY
This shows the currently fitted type, set by the operator when the batteries are fitted. The
symbol shows the condition of the battery. For alkaline batteries a full, completely black
symbol, indicates a voltage of 13volts. An empty symbol is around 8volts. For rechargeable
batteries the upper level is reduced to 10.4V.
