ASSEMBLY
Assembly is easy and
requires no tools.
●
1
Loosen locking collar by rotating
100% counterclockwise.
●
2
Insert the Lower Stem into the S-Rod and click
silver button into hole. Press the silver
button on the upper end of the Lower
Stem & slide the Lower Stem into the
S-Rod.
●
3
Position the lower stem with the
silver button toward the back.
Using the bolt and knurled knob,
attach the search coil to the lower stem.
●
4
Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain
a comfortable upright posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side, and the search coil parallel to
the ground in front of you.
●
5
Wind the cable securely around the stems.
●
6
Insert the plug into the matching connector
on the back of the detector body. Be sure that
the key-way and pins line up correctly.
●
7
Tighten locking collar.
●
8
Secure the cable with the 2 velcro straps
provided, one on the lower stem close to the
coil, one on the S-rod, close to the housing.
Caution:
Do not force the plug in. Excess force will
cause damage.
To disconnect the cable, pull on the
plug.
Do not pull on the cable.

angles, you may have
encountered multiple objects.
If you are new to the hobby,
you may want to dig all targets
at first. With practice in the
field, you will learn to better
discern the nature of buried
objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is
present. False signals can be
induced by electromagnetic
interference, oxidation, or
highly mineralized ground
soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the
signal with several additional
sweeps over the same spot,
there is probably no target
present.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short sweeps.
You will be surprised just how
much trash metal and foil you
will find in some areas. The
trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people,
and frequently hold the most
promise for finding the most
lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the
surface of the ground, without
making contact with the
ground. Making contact with
the ground can cause false
signals.
