According to FCC part 15.21 Changes or Modifications made to this device not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with FCC Part 15 Subpart B Section 15.109 Class B.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt rSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
This radio transmitter 8188A-GB has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device.
Antennas:
1. 5” DD Coil, Part Number 5COIL-GBUG
2. 11” DD Coil, Part Number 11COIL-GB
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotopically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNr d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Le présent émetteur radio 8188A-GB a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et
l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette
liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
Introduction to the Gold Bug
®
The new Gold Bug
®
is unique among gold prospecting metal detectors for its
combination of high sensitivity to small gold nuggets and its versatile function
as an all-purpose treasure detector.
The controls and features are tailored to gold prospecting, including an
advanced ground balancing system, separate control over signal gain and
threshold, and a unique discrimination control system. These features also
make for a great relic-hunting detector, especially when the Gold Bug
®
is
outfitted with the optional 11” DD searchcoil. While the Gold Bug
®
makes for a
highly competent coin-shooting detector, its user interface and features are not
specifically designed for this purpose. As a coin-shooter, you will notice that
the Gold Bug
®
exhibits slightly lower sensitivity to high-conductivity coins, like a
U.S. quarter; this is a result of its specialized design to emphasize sensitivity to
small, low conductivity metals like gold nuggets.
The Gold Bug
®
is outfitted with a small 5” searchcoil as standard equipment
since this searchcoil construction is best-suited to finding gold nuggets. You
may be familiar with other metal detectors which have larger searchcoils,
generally in the range of 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Large coils are designed
to cover the maximum amount of ground efficiently and for the deepest ground
penetration. Small searchcoils, intended for gold prospecting, are designed for
precision. The Gold Bug’s small DD searchcoil makes pinpointing easier, fits
into small spaces where gold is often hidden, is better suited to penetrate
highly mineralized soils where gold is frequently found, and has the highest
possible sensitivity to tiny gold nuggets.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your purchase of the new Gold Bug
®
metal detector. The newly
designed Gold Bug
®
has been custom designed to find the smallest gold nuggets, but
unlike other specialized gold prospecting detectors, it can also be used for relic-hunting
and coin-shooting.
Whether you use your Detector in the backyard, at the shoreline, in the mountains or
fields afar, your investment will let you experience the excitement of searching for yet
uncovered treasures and give you hours and years of outdoor enjoyment. Out on your
own or with a group, places to use your Gold Bug
®
are unlimited as buried treasures
can be as near as your doorstep or as far as you wish to travel.
This manual has been written to help you get optimal use of your detector, so we hope you
will read it thoroughly before your first outing and will also refer back to this manual from
time to time to reinforce features and methods as you become more proficient in the field.
Happy Hunting from Fisher Research Labs!
