F3Ci Operations Manual

* WARNING *

The Test Piece functional test must be conducted with the Sensitivity

Knob set to Position 4 (Default) and should be conducted whenever

the detector is switched on to confirm correct functionality of the

detector.

NOTE

After switching on the detector, the LEDs will always be disabled.
If an Earset Speaker OFF is connected to the detector, the LED

display will be automatically disabled for tactical reasons. However,

if required the LED display can be enabled by pressing the Mode

Select button and the Ground Balance button.
