The 1165190 operates with one 9V standard or rechargeable battery. To install the battery, slide
off the battery cover and place the battery into it’s compartment while matching the +/- symbols.
Turn the unit on by pushing the on/off switch until the GREEN LED lights up. The detector is now
operational. The sensitivity can be adjusted by pressing and holding the sensitivity button until
the RED LED goes out and the tone fades. The detector is now tuned for optimum sensitivity.
To scan, hold the unit with the detection face towards the surface, sweep backwards and
forwards continuously at a height of about 1 inch above the area.
The presence of metal will be indicated by the audio warning tone and the RED light will come
on. If the detector is held for a while over the metal object the detection signal will reduce
automatically.
