Operation:

 

The

 

Vibra

Probe

 

communicates

 

through

 

pulses

 

of

 

vibration.

 

The

 

pulses

 

of

 

vibration

 

increase

 

in

 

quantity

 

the

 

closer

 

the

 

probe

 

tip

 

is

 

to

 

the

 

target.

 

The

 

quantity

 

of

 

pulses

 

is

 

proportional

 

to

 

the

 

target

 

size

 

and

 

distance.

 

The

 

bigger

 

the

 

target,

 

or

 

the

 

closer

 

the

 

probe

 

tip

 

is

 

to

 

the

 

target,

 

the

 

higher

 

the

 

pulse

 

count.

 

Probe

 

the

 

soil

 

in

 

different

 

locations

 

until

 

you

 

detect

 

the

 

target.

 

The

 

Vibra

Probe

 

detects

 

targets

 

at

 

the

 

tip

 

only.

 

This

 

allows

 

you

 

to

 

precisely

 

locate

 

the

 

target.

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

NOTES

 

The

 

probe

 

communicates

 

its

 

proximity

 

to

 

the

 

target

 

only

 

one

 

time

 

per

 

detection.

 

Move

 

the

 

probe

 

tip

 

slightly

 

away

 

and

 

then

 

re

approach

 

the

 

target

 

to

 

get

 

the

 

next

 

detection.

 

As

 

with

 

any

 

new

 

detector

 

you

 

should

 

practice

 

with

 

known

 

targets

 

to

 

develop

 

your

 

pinpointing

 

technique.

 

The

 

Vibra

Probe

 

is

 

a

 

robust

 

unit.

 

However,

 

it

 

should

 

not

 

be

 

used

 

as

 

a

 

pry

bar

 

or

 

digging

 

tool.

 

False

 

detections

 

may

 

occur

 

if

 

the

 

coil

 

of

 

your

 

primary

 

detector

 

is

 

too

 

close

 

to

 

the

 

Vibra

Probe.

 

 

HELPFUL

 

HINTS

 

If

 

your

 

primary

 

detector

 

indicates

 

that

 

the

 

target

 

is

 

near

 

the

 

surface,

 

probe

 

the

 

surface

 

before

 

digging.

 

To

 

locate

 

deeper

 

targets,

 

loosen

 

the

 

ground

 

with

 

a

 

suitable

 

digging

 

tool

 

before

 

using

 

the

 

probe.

 

When

 

hunting

 

in

 

a

 

lawn,

 

rather

 

than

 

digging

 

a

 

large

 

hole,

 

insert

 

a

 

screwdriver

 

or

 

similar

 

tool

 

into

 

the

 

ground

 

from

 

several

 

angles

 

to

 

push

 

the

 

grass

 

and

 

roots

 

aside

 

to

 

form

 

a

 

slot

 

large

 

enough

 

to

 

insert

 

the

 

probe.

 

Then

 

probe

 

the

 

sides

 

of

 

the

 

slot

 

to

 

locate

 

the

 

target.

  

 

CARE

 

AND

 

MAINTANANCE

 

Your

 

Vibra

Probe

 

is

 

a

 

sensitive

 

electronic

 

instrument.

 

Although

 

it

 

is

 

rugged,

 

care

 

in

 

transporting

 

and

 

handling

 

will

 

extend

 

its

 

life

 

and

 

result

 

in

 

optimum

 

performance.

 

When

 

the

 

Vibra

Probe

 

is

 

off

 

there

 

is

 

no

 

drain

 

on

 

the

 

battery.

 

However,

 

if

 

stored

 

for

 

long

 

periods

 

of

 

time,

 

we

 

recommend

 

that

 

the

 

battery

 

be

 

removed

 

to

 

prevent

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

detector

 

due

 

to

 

a

 

potential

 

battery

 

leak.

 

 

Always

 

use

 

high

 

quality

 

batteries

 

such

 

as

 

alkaline

 

or

 

nickel

 

metal

 

hydride

 

(NiMH).
