IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
When pin point ing a tar get, try draw ing an “X”,
as il lus trat ed, over where the tone is induced.
PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best ac com plished by
“X-ing” the target area.
1.
Once a buried target is in di cat ed
by a good tone response,
continue sweep ing the coil over
the target in a nar row ing
side-to-side pat tern.
2.
Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the “beep”
sounds.
3.
Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4.
Now move the coil straight
for ward and straight back
towards you a cou ple of times.
5.
Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which
the “beep” sounds.
6.
If needed, “X” the target at
different an gles to “zero in” on
the ex act spot on the ground at
which the “beep” sounds.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swing ing the coil, be
care ful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
sur face. Nev er swing the coil like
a pen du lum.

Use
ALKALINE
batteries only.
To install the
batteries:
●
1
Remove
the
battery cover by
disengaging the
clip at the back.
●
2
Align the polarity
of the batteries
correctly,
with
the positive "+"
toward the coil
plug connection,
as indicated by
the + and –
indicators
on
the
housing.
●
3
Insert (2) 9-Volt
ALKALINE
batteries, with the contacts pointed inward,
and press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.
Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear the
retaining tabs.
●
4
Replace the battery door.
The Low Battery Indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries need
to be replaced.
Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries,
or the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries.
If the detector does
not turn on, please check the batteries.
BATTERIES
DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES
BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or recycled.
Non-Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California all battery
types must be recycled. Please refer to local municipalities for detailed disposal
and recycling requirements.
