OWNER’S MANUAL

If you do not have prior experience

with a metal detector, 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; this
device is designed to work
“into-the-noise”, so expect
chatter at high sensitivity.

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.

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

3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery

only.
Do not use Heavy Duty
Batteries.
