ASSEMBLY

Assembly is easy and requires no tools.

1

Loosen both Locking Collars by rotating 100%
counterclockwise

2

Insert the Upper Stem into the S-Rod and click
Silver Button into hole

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

Press the button on the upper end of
the lower stem, and slide the lower
stem into the upper stem.

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 both locking collars.

8

Secure the cable with the 2 velcro straps
provided, one on the lower stem close to the coil,
one on the upper stem, 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.

2-Digit Target Identification

The 2-digit value in the middle of the screen provides a specific target value
to help identify buried targets more accurately.  With practice in the field, you
will learn to associate target values with specific objects.  Coins are more
likely to yield the same value with each pass of the coil due to their concentric
shape.  The presence of multiple targets will yield multiple tones.  Trash
objects are more likely to yield a different number on each pass. The angle
of the coil relative to an object may also influence target identification.  If
waving coins over the searchcoil for practice, wave with the flat side parallel
to the searchcoil; this is the position you will most often find coins buried in
the ground.
