Main Parts and Assembly

Your Golden Mask 5 comes to you in a box that contain: the detector with telescopic car-

bon shaft and pre-installed 10 x 2500mAh AA NiMh rechargeable batteries (this is subject 

to change, while shipping batteries in some destinations is prohibited), a 23 cm (9 inch) 

Spider search coil, wireless headphones, smart charger, user guide in English, warranty 

card and purchase papers (invoice, payment statement, packing slip - may vary upon pay-

ment method and destination country).
There is nothing special assembling the detector. You have to attach the coil to the lower 

stem of the shaft, using the supplied plastic bolt and screw (they are already on their 

place), then attach the coil cable to the main unit and you are ready to go.
To extend the telescopic shaft, start from the first section by the side of the coil. Turn the 

fixing screw counter-clockwise, pull the search coil gently to the full extent of the carbon 

pipe and then fix the section by turning the fixing screw clockwise. Do the same with the 

second section. Check if the length is enough, if not, extend the third section to match the 

desired length. 

WARNING

: The third section can be pulled out completely from the handle part, but we 

do not recoomend it, because a plactic shim inside the locking screw could be lost or 

damaged. Please, be sure to have a minimum of 15 cm (6 inch) of the third section inside 

the fixing screw of the handle section, otherwise the stem will not be stable enough and 

could be broken, especially if a large coil is used.

Operating the Golden Mask 5+

The Golden Mask 5+ is designed to be as simple to operate as possible. The Golden Mask 

engineers worked hard to simplify the controls and make your hobby a real pleasure, not a 

struggle with endless functions and menus.
The controls of the detector are 9 buttons on the front panel of the control box and a 

switch on the back side of the battery box to control the wireless transmitter for the wire-

less headphones.
On the LCD screen are shown all the working parameters of the detector, the TargetID 

number and the Spectrum VDI scale, where a graphic of the target signal response is 

shown to help identifying the target detected.
On the graphic you can see the LCD screen indicators. Buttons will be explained later.
