(Above photos are shown using the Eldorado model; however, assembly procedures are
the same for the Silver µMax.)
ADJUSTING THE POLE & SEARCHCOIL
The pole length should be adjusted so that the detector does not
become uncomfortable or tiring after long periods of use. The
detector grip should rest in your hand with your arm relaxed, your
elbow straight but not locked, and with the pole extending out in front
of you at the approximate angle shown in the photo.
You should be able to swing the detector back and forth in front of
you—using relaxed
shoulder movement
—while keeping the
searchcoil as close to the ground as possible. This swinging
movement is often called a “sweep.”
The searchcoil should not touch the ground during your sweep. The
pole length should be adjusted to allow this without having to lift the
detector with your elbow or shoulder. The searchcoil should rest
about one inch above the ground while you are standing erect. The
angle of the searchcoil should allow the bottom to be parallel to the
ground.
The pole length is adjusted by depressing the spring buttons and extending or shortening the pole
until the spring buttons click into the set of holes that give you the most comfortable pole length.
To adjust the searchcoil angle, simply loosen the searchcoil thumb nut slightly and move the
searchcoil into the desired position. Tighten the searchcoil thumb nut by hand so that the
searchcoil will hold in place.
