CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• DO NOT probe or dig with the Super Scanner™ V. Such mechanical forces applied to the coil can
cause it to malfunction. We recommend using the optional Stainless Steel Digging Trowel (No.
MDDIG) for probing in soil.
• DO NOT immerse the Super Scanner™ V in water or sand. While the search coil will repel dirt
and water, we do not recommend this practice since foreign matter may get inside the unit and
cause shorting of electrical components and loss of operation.
• To extend battery charge life, always turn the unit OFF when not in operation.
• There are no user-serviceable components inside the unit other than the battery.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Battery Replacement—
Slide back the battery cover (do not attempt to remove it), tilt the detec-
tor and the battery will slip out. Replace with fresh battery. Because the battery cover will not slide
back if the battery is inserted improperly, never force the cover. When the Super Scanner™ V is to be
stored more than 30 days, remove battery.
Sensitivity Threshold Adjustment—
Turn on the Super Scanner™ V. Roll back the grip cover just
below the nameplate. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver in the exposed hole and turn slightly to
adjust. Sound should be barely silent when the detector is turned on but not detecting metal.
Maximum sensitivity is achieved when threshold is set just below audible level. A decrease in sensi-
tivity can be achieved by further rotation.
