CONTROL PANEL (continued)
5. THRESHOLD:
This control sets the volume level of the faint
but continuous background tone.
6. VOLUME:
This knob turns the power on and adjusts the
signal-response volume. If you are wearing headphones with
independent volume controls, set your GoldBug2 VOLUME
control to 10 and decrease the volume of your headphone
controls to a comfortable level. This will ensure the hottest
possible signal from your GoldBug2.
7. BACKLIGHT: Press
to turn backlight on/off. To adjust the
illumination level of the backlight, press and hold while
rotating the Ground Reject Knob. Your illumination setting will
be saved.
8. LCD DISPLAY KNOB: Ground Reject Setting, Operating Mode
Indicator, Mineralization Indicator, Backlight Indicator, Battery
Status.
9. HEADPHONES:
This jack accepts most stereo and mono
headphones with 1/4-inch plugs. When using headphones with
a stereo/mono switch, put the stereo/mono switch in the stereo
position. Although your GoldBug2 is equipped with a dust and
moisture resistant speaker, we recommend that you always
wear headphones while hunting to maximize the number of
targets you hear. Furthermore, we recommend our Fisher
®
Phones, which enhance faint-target response by blocking out
unwanted external noises, such as wind and vehicle sounds.
To plug in your headphones, unplug the tethered seal and plug
in your headphone jack. When not using headphones, be sure
to keep the seal plugged into the HEADPHONE jack to keep
dust and moisture out of the control housing.
This device is to be used with interconnecting cables/
headphone cables shorter than three meters.
The 3-segment battery status indicator is calibrated to alkaline batteries
If using, lithium or nickel metal hydride batteries, your
detector may turn off due to insufficient battery voltage
before you receive a low-battery indication
.
Two 9V batteries are located in separate compartments at the rear of
the GoldBug2 control housing.
• Make sure the backlight is turned off in daylight.
• High quality brand name alkaline batteries provide up to 20
hours of operation.
• Lithium batteries can provide up to 40 hours of operation.
• Nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries provide about 8
hours of operation.
• DO NOT USE ordinary zinc carbon batteries. They are sometimes
marketed as “heavy duty” batteries.
• At one segment, less than 5 hours of operation
remain.
• If the battery icon is flashing, the detector
will turn of within minutes. Replace batteries
immediately.
BATTERIES
Your GoldBug2 operates on
two 9V batteries that drop
into compartments at the
rear of the control housing.
Snapping the door latch in
place makes the battery
connection.
