ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
3
Fisher Research Laboratory has been producing rugged, high
quality, high performance metal detectors since 1931, longer
than any other company in the world. Your 1280-X Aquanaut is a
product of that proud heritage. Designed for deep sea treasure
hunting, the 1280-X will also do the job in fresh water or on land.
The 1280-X is easy to use. No fine tuning, no threshold tone and no
complicated “ground-adjustment”. Just turn it on, set the volume,
sensitivity and trash discrimination controls, and you probably
won’t have to touch the knobs again. The 1280-X automatically
tunes itself to changing ground conditions and salt water, rejects
most small pieces of junk and detects valuable targets all at the
same time.
The 1280-X is rugged. The searchcoil is light-weight glass-bead
epoxy filled. The shaft is fiberglass reinforced ABS. The control
housing is injection molded ABS. The state-of-the-art Piezo Electric
headset was designed especially for the 1280-X. And the entire
unit is submersible to 250 feet.
The 1280-X is a “motion” detector, meaning the searchcoil must
be in motion to detect a target. However, the motion required is
slight and unlike earlier “motion” detectors, you’ll be able to almost
completely stop the coil for accurate pinpointing.
Your 1280-X is a precision metal detector designed and
manufactured by the oldest and proudest name in the business.
Take good care of it, read this instruction manual carefully and
you’re in for some exciting treasure hunting. If you have any
questions, suggestions or make any big finds, drop us a line. We
want to hear from you. In the meantime...
Happy Hunting!
