The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries first
check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive screws located in the battery
cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the
holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted. Load it with the eight batteries ensuring that each battery is
inserted the correct way round, (direction of batteries alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located
correctly and making proper contact. Replace the connector making sure that its is firm and well seated, and put
the loaded holder into the housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger tight.
Note : Zinc Carbon batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, so remember
to remove them at the end of a day's searching.
BATTERY CHECK
A battery condition indicator is provided on the detector. To do this for the first time prior to reading the remainder
of the operating instructions proceed as follows : - Turn the SENSITIVITY (POWER) control on. Press the centre
push switch marked BATT CHECK and hold down. The meter will indicate in the green area if the batteries are
good and in the left or central position if the batteries need replacing or recharging. Release the switch and turn the
SENSITIVITY control off. Rechargeable batteries will not read as high into the green as standard batteries even
when fully charged. They also give less indication of discharge on the meter during use.
CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO
The CS-5MXP has been designed to offer simplicity of use with high, reliable performance.
The control panel comprises three rotary controls, three push buttons, one toggle switch and a meter.
i. On/Off Sensitivity
Switches detector on by rotating clockwise and adjusts sensitivity to metal.
The CS-5MXP is a silent operating machine and you should rotate the Sensitivity Control clockwise to the
position where the audio threshold tone is comfortable.
Operate the Sensitivity at the highest level possible but, if you experience interference from
external radio transmissions or soil mineralisation, reduce the level to eliminate this.
