HEADPHONES

Using headphones (not supplied) with your metal detector makes it
easier to identify subtle changes in the threshold levels for better
detection results, and also reduces drain on the batteries.
Connecting headphones temporarily disconnects the detector’s
internal speaker.
Your detector accepts a 1/4-inch headphone plug which connects to
the headphone jack located on the front panel.
Do not wear headphones while operating your detector near high-
traffic areas.
This device is to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone
cables shorter than three meters.
