OWNER’S MANUAL

The
Outback  is  an
easy  to  use  detector.
The  most  difficult  aspects  of
metal detecting have been automated.

However,  if  you  are  new  to  the  hobby,
we strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust  the  Sensitivity  to  a  low  setting

in  the  event  of  false  signals. 

Always  begin

use at a reduced sensitivity level; increase to full
sensitivity after you have become familiar with the
detector.

2) Do not use indoors.  

This detector is for outdoor use only.  Many

household  appliances  emit  electromagnetic  energy,  which  can
interfere with the detector.  If conducting an indoor demonstration,
turn  the  sensitivity  down  and  keep  the  searchcoil  away  from
appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If  your  detector  beeps  erratically,  turn  off  appliances  and  lights
(especially those with dimmer switches).

Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such
as floors and walls.

3)

Read this manual. Most importantly, review the 

Quick-Start Demo

(p.7) and

Basic Operation 

(pp. 9-12)

.

4)

Use  9-volt 

ALKALINE

batteries  only.    Do  not  use  Heavy  Duty

Batteries.
