Cautions:
• The searchcoil’s plug fits into
the connector only one way. Do
not force it.
• To disconnect the searchcoil’s
cable from the detector, grasp
the plug and pull it out of the
connector. Never pull on the
cable.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You must use two 9-volt alkaline bat-
teries (such as Cat. No. 23-553) to
power your detector.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries
or different types of batteries
(standard or alkaline).
1. If the detector is on, turn it off by
turning
SENSITIVITY
on the front
panel fully counterclockwise to-
ward
OFF/POWER
until it clicks.
2. While holding down the release
clip on the right side of the battery
compartment door, lift off the door.
3. Snap a 9-volt battery onto each
battery terminal, then slide the
batteries inside the compartment.
4. Carefully insert the tabs on the
battery compartment door into the
slots on the detector, then press in
on the door until it clicks to close it.
LOW BAT
on the front of the detector
flashes once when you turn off the de-
tector.
If
LOW BAT
lights during normal use or
the detector sounds a long continuous
tone or does not function properly, re-
place both batteries.
Cautions:
• If you do not plan to use the detec-
tor for a week or more, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chem-
icals that can destroy electronic
parts.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
