c) Place the hipmount bag in your preferred
working configuration. The hipmount bag
can be worn on the belt or over the
shoulder.
Note: If mounting the hipmount bag on the
chest, a belt can be thread through the belt
loop and around the chest to hold the bag in
position.
d) Wind about 5 turns of the cable around the
shaft. This will reduce the amount of excess
cable.
Note: Leave enough slack at the bottom of
the cable near the coil to adjust the coil
position without straining the coil cable.
e) Use Velcro
TM
tabs to secure the cable in
position at the base of the shaft and where
the cable leaves the shaft.
f) Take the excess loose coil cable and wind
it through the belt bracket of the hipmount
bag prior to connecting onto the control box
(see figure 8).
g) Connect the coil connector to the socket on the rear of the control box
and tighten the locking nut.

Hipmounting/Chestmount
Hipmounting is an alternative to mounting the detector on the shaft and
significantly reduces physical strain, enabling longer search time without
undue fatigue. A hipmount bag is available as an accessory item
for this purpose.
a) Check that there are charged batteries in the control box.
b) Place the control box into the hipmount bag with its control panel
facing outwards (see figure 7).
