OWNER’S MANUAL

Your Quick Draw II Metal Detector incorporates patented microprocessor-
controlled technology. The Quick Draw II is a motion detector; movement over
an object is required in order for the machine to detect the object and emit a
tone. Alternatively, you can sweep a metal object over a motionless search coil.

THIS METAL DETECTOR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:

1. ALL METAL DETECTION

All metals will be detected. 

2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes

In any of these three detection modes, the detector will emit different
tones, depending upon the type of metal present. The characteristics are
adjustable. Depending on the detector control settings, some metals will
also be eliminated from detection.

DISCRIMINATE: 

Eliminates iron and trash items with the use of the 
DISC/NOTCH knob.

NOTCH:

Provides an adjustable rejection "window" to eliminate undesirable
metals from detection. Move the rejection "window" with the 
DISC/NOTCH knob.

AUTO NOTCH:

Provides a pre-set rejection "window", automatically eliminating
most pull-tabs and trash items from detection.

CAUTION: 

• Do not test the detector by placing coins or metal objects on the floor.    

Most floors contain metal, which will cause interference.

• Use 9-VOLT ALKALINE batteries only.

DO NOT USE INDOORS. LIGHTS AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES EMIT
