OWNER’S MANUAL  

Important Facts to Know
about your Metal Detector.

1.

This is a 

MOTION 

detector.

You must 

sweep 

the searchcoil from 

side-to-side 

to

detect metal.
A motionless searchcoil over a metal object will not
result in detection.

2. Do not use indoors. 

Detector is for outdoor use only.

Household appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with your
detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and
keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as microwaves, computers and
televisions. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.

Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal.

Keep the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can contain
metal.

3.

Use 9-volt 

ALKALINE

batteries only.

Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.
Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon batteries.

4. Adjust sensitivity to a low level 

in the event of false signals

Always begin use at reduced sensitivity.
Increase to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector’s operation.
