With your Metal Detector with Headphones, you can hunt for coins, relics, jewellery, gold, and silver just about anywhere. 

The detector is versatile and easy to use. 

 

The detector’s features include: 

LCD Display

—shows the probable type of metal with an arrow, the depth of the target, DISC/NOTCH range, the level of 

SENS with segment, the operating mode, and low battery indication. 

 

Three Tone Audio Discrimination

—sounds distinctive tones for different types of metal. 

 

Notch

—ignores scrap metal and finds valuable items by setting the disc and notch range. 

 

Super  Slow Sweep Identification

—with a very  slow sweep of the search coil to discriminate against different types of 

metal. 

 

Headphone Jack

—lets you connect headphones (supplied) to the metal detector. 

 

Waterproof Search coil

—lets you use the detector coil under water.   

 

Note: Your metal detector requires 2 x 9-Volt alkaline batteries (not supplied). 

 

 

PREPARATION

ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR 

 

Assembling your detector is easy and does not require any special tools. Just follow these steps. 

1. Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens. 

2. Lengthen or shorten so when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 

1.2-5cm (1/2 to 2 inches) above the ground with your arm relaxed at your side. 

3. Turn the stem’s lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in place. 

4. Unscrew  the  knob  on  the  search  coil  and  remove  the  knob  connector.  Insert  the  stem  and  align  the  holes  on  the 

search coil bracket and the stem. Push the connector through the holes and tighten the knob. 

5. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable.   

6. Insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control housing. 

Caution: 

 

The search coil’s plug fits into the connector only one way. Do not force the plug you could damage it.
