Treasure Cove VIBRA-PHONE 280 Manual Download Page 1

Thank you for choosing the New Vibra-Phone 280 

made by Treasure Products, Inc. Now you’re 

ready to enjoy the freedom of never having to 

wear headphones again! 

 

The New Vibra-Phone 280 takes the output from 

the headphone jack of your metal detector and 

converts that sound into vibration. This will allow 

you to feel your detectors signaling instead of 

having to hear it.  

 

It’s designed for those that have difficulty hearing 

tones and whistles or are just tired of wearing 

headphones.  

 

Note: The Vibra-Phone is not waterproof and 

should not be submersed or exposed to water.
