  Remove the protective paper from the two black elbow cup foam pads. 

Carefully align pads on the inside of the elbow cup, one on each side of the 
center rod, and press firmly into place. 

.

  Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose enough for you to slide your arm 

in and out without loosening each time you want to set the detector down. The 
elbow cup strap provides extra leverage and control. However, some prefer not 
to use it. 

.

 Install battery as described in the next section, decal facing down, single 

larger plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward inside of battery compartment.

 It should be noted at this point that the Spectra may not work as expected 

indoors due to the high degree of metals used in modern construction. It is best 
to tune and practice (outdoors) to ensure stable, predictable results. 

.

 Your Spectra is designed with an automatic turn OFF if the trigger on the grip 

(or another control) “is not used” for a period of 30 minutes. This protects the 
battery from damage (absolute discharge) in case of an accidental turn on during 
travel or storage. The Spectra will make a specific deep tone musical melody 
upon automatic turn off. To restart, simply press ON and squeeze and release 
the trigger on the grip to resume searching. The Spectra returns to pre-turn-off 
settings.

Batteries

The Spectra is provided with two battery packs.  A rechargeable Nickel Metal 
Hydride (NiMH) battery (Orange Decal) will require an initial 3-4 hour battery 
charge.
