Tesoro Cibola Getting Started Download Page 2

INSTALLING THE BATTERY 

Your Cibola is equipped with an automatic battery test circuit so that you can always be sure you 
are getting top performance. The battery should be checked after the detector has been on for 
about 10 minutes and then periodically when used for long durations.  

 

To install or replace the battery, first make sure the SENSITIVITY control is set to POWER 
OFF—turned completely counterclockwise past the “click.” Remove the battery door from the 
back of the control housing. Do this by pressing your thumb firmly on the louvered square—at 
the bottom of the battery door—and sliding the battery door upward in the direction of the arrow.  

Check the polarity on the battery and on the diagram inside the battery compartment. Make sure 
that they match and simply drop a fresh 9 volt alkaline battery into the compartment. 

Note: If the 

battery is not installed properly, damage may occur to your detector.

  

Replace the battery door by sliding it into place making sure the upper mount slots are in line and 
the lock tongue is snapped in place.  

 

ASSEMBLING YOUR DETECTOR 

1.

 

On the lower pole assembly, remove the mounting screw and thumb nut from the black 
nylon pole tip. 

2.

 

Insert the pole tip between the mounting ears of the searchcoil and align the holes of the 
pole tip and washers with those of the mounting ears. 

Note: The pole tip should fit very snugly into the mounting ears.
