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.
If the batteries fit loosely, and you want to guarantee a very
secure electrical contact, insert a piece of paper or thin cardboard
between the back of the battery and the supporting post.

4
Replace the battery door.

3-Segment Battery Indicators.
Segments Illuminated
Battery Voltage
All three segments
More than 8.5 volts
Two segments
7.6 to 8.5 volts
One segment
7.0 to 7.5 volts
No segments
Less than 7.0 volts
The detector will stop working soon after all segments have disappeared (approximately 6.6 volts).
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.
If the detector does not turn on,
check to see that the batteries fit tightly. If the
batteries are loose, press them forward while pressing the POWER touchpad. To tighten up a loose
battery, wedge a piece of paper or thin cardboard between the back of the battery and the supporting
post, as illustrated above. You may also CAREFULLY pry back the battery contact clips inside the case
with a small flat-head screwdriver.
