Manual

Thank you for purchasing the VK40 metal

detector from VIKING. This is one of a  family

of microprocessor driven metal detectors

that are very simple to use yet provide 

excellent performance.

Please take time to read this booklet. It will guide

you through each of the available features to

ensure you get the best out of your detector.

Getting Started

1. Unpack The  Detector

There are two main sections. The 'S' shaft, onto

which is mounted the control box, and the lower

shaft with the search head. Note the spring 

button near the end of the lower shaft.

2.

Assemble The  Detector

Slide the lower shaft into the 'S' shaft, wrapping

the cable snugly, but not tightly, round the shaft.

When correctly aligned the spring button on the

lower shaft will click into 1 of the 3 holes on the

underside of the 'S' shaft.

3.

Tighten the coupling

Turn the coupling to the 'lock' position as 

indicated by the arrow. This makes a rigid 

connection between the two parts of the shaft.

4.

Insert Battery

The detector takes a single PP3 (alkaline) 9V

battery.

This is placed in the battery 

compartment on the rear of the control box.

ENSURE THE BATTERY IS INSERTED THE

CORRECT WAY  ROUND

Push the drawer back into the detector until it

clicks. Please note the drawer can only be 

inserted the one way.

Your detector is now ready for use

To disassemble the detector, loosen the coupling

by turning it against the arrow and push in the

spring button. The lower shaft will now slide out

from the 'S' shaft.
