If you do not have prior experience with a metal

detector, we strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Gain to a low

setting  in  the  event

of  false  signals.

Always  begin  use  at

a reduced Gain level;

increase Gain only 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  Gain  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.

Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.
