OWNER’S MANUAL

Your Surveyor is an advanced technology Metal
Detector.  If you are new to the hobby or have never
used a metal detector before, we recommend that you:

1)

Do Not Use Indoors.

Household appliances generate 

electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with the detector. 

If demonstrating indoors, turn the sensitivity down and keep the
search coil away from floors, walls, and metal objects.

2)

Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low setting in the event of false
signals or chatter.

A little practice is required to understand 

when and how to position the sensitivity at or near 100%.

3) Use 9-volt 

ALKALINE

batteries only.

4)

Please

read this manual.
