Prospector 4 is a classic VLF metal detector based on state of the art electronics
circuitry. It is designed and assembled carefully by hands in Poland using high quality
components and materials. It is basically dedicated to relic hunters but can be successfully
used by coin hunters alike. To fully understand all its function and capabilities it is strongly
recommended to read carefully the instruction manual first. After becoming familiar
with the operation user need to gain experience in the field. Prospector 4 is fine tool,
but it is user who operate it and only hours of practice, patience and persistence can
lead to success.
ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
1.
While pressing the locking pin in the middle shaft, insert it into the upper shaft assembly
so that the pin pops-out in the hole.
2.
In similar way, connect the lower shaft assembly (with the search loop attached) to the
middle shaft.
3.
Press the coil towards the lower shaft and wrap the connection cable around the stem
snugly. Now you can adjust the coil angle to the desired position.
4.
Plug the cable connector to the box connector and secure it with the locking collar. The
loop cable connector is plugged with the groove facing up. Use your fingers only.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Prospector 4 is powered from build-in batteries. They do not possess memory effect and
can be recharged whenever. Batteries should be fine for about 3 years and 1 charge
should be enough for at least 10 hours of searching. Preferred charging method is to
charge it during the night before the search. Charger (included in package) can be plugged
into socket on the back panel. If charger is properly connected orange LED will appear on
back panel. Approximate charge time is about 8 hours. It’s possible to check battery level
with tester on front panel. When battery needs recharge sound pulses will appear at about
1 second intervals. It’s impossible to turn on detector while charger is connected.
