7. Loosen the knob at the search coil’s end, and then adjust the search coil to the desired angle so that it is parallel with 

the ground. Then tighten the knob. 

Caution: 

Do not over-tighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to tighten it.

 

8. Insert the arm support into the end of the stem and tighten the lock screw. 

 

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES 

Cautions: 

 

Use only fresh 9V alkaline batteries. 

 

Do not mix the old and new batteries or different types of batteries. 

1. Slide the left and right battery covers off in the direction of the arrow. 

2. Place a 9V battery into the battery compartment matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. 

3. Switch on using the POWER button. 

 

                                     

   

   

 

Warning: 

 

Dispose  of  old  batteries  promptly  and  according  to  local  authority  waste  disposal  guidelines.  Never  bury  or  burn 

them. 

Caution: 

 

If you plan not to use the unit for a week or more at a time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that 

can destroy electronic parts if left for extended periods of time. 

 

To extend the battery life, swap the left and right battery after 3-4hours of operation. 

 

USING HEADPHONES 

1. Insert the headphones’ 3.5mm plug into the PHONE jack. At this time the internal speaker disconnects. 

2. Set the VOLUME to the desired setting.

Listening Safely 

 

To protect your hearing, set the volume to the lowest setting before you plug the headphones in.    Adjust the volume 

to a comfortable level. 

 

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss or 

damage to hearing. 

 

Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near high-traffic areas. Pay attention to traffic safety.
