The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit
new batteries first check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two
captive screws located in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove
the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already
fitted. Load it with the eight batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted the correct way round,
(direction of batteries alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located correctly
and making proper contact. Replace the connector making sure that it is firm and well seated, and
put the loaded holder into the housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger
tight.
Note: Zinc Carbon batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could
leak, so remember to remove them at the end of a day's searching.
BATTERY CHECK
CS2MX only
The battery condition is indicated by an
audio tone.
A loud, clear and sharp signal indicates the
batteries are of good strength.
A weak, broken or non-existent signal
means you should replace the batteries.

CS5MX only
A battery condition indicator is provided
on the detector. To do this for the first time
prior to reading the remainder of the
operating instructions proceed as follows:-
Turn the SENSITIVITY (POWER) control
on. Press the centre push switch marked
BATT CHECK and hold down. The meter
will indicate in the green area if the
batteries are good and in the left or central
position if the batteries need replacing or
recharging. Release the switch and turn the
SENSITIVITY control off. Rechargeable
batteries will not read as high into the
green as standard batteries even when fully
