OWNER’S MANUAL

If you do not have prior experience
with a metal detector, we strongly
recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Gain to a low

setting in the event of
false signals. Always begin
use at a reduced Gain level;
increase Gain only after you have become
familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for

outdoor use only. Many household appliances
emit electromagnetic energy, which can
interfere with the detector. If conducting an
indoor demonstration, turn the Gain down and
keep the searchcoil away from appliances such
as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If your detector beeps erratically, turn off
appliances and lights.

Also keep the searchcoil away from
objects containing metal, such as floors
and walls.

3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery only.

Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.
