The Minelab Musketeer Advantage
NOTE
:
Leave enough slack at the bottom of the cable near the coil to adjust the
coil position without straining the coil cable.
e) Use Velcro tabs to secure the cable in position at the base of the shaft and
where the cable leaves the shaft.
f)
Connect the cable connector to the rear of the control box.
Batteries
Your
Musketeer Advantage
is supplied with a 12-volt battery pack to hold 8
“AA” alkaline batteries. If you have not already done so, you can purchase a
rechargeable 12-volt NiMH battery pack, a mains charger and a car charger
from your authorised Minelab dealer.
Installation of Alkaline Batteries
Ensure the detector is switched “Off” before opening the battery compartment.
a) Remove battery pack from control box pulling back both release tabs on
the battery pack housing.
b) Slide open the lid on the battery pack.
c) Place 8 “AA” alkaline batteries (14)
into the base of the alkaline pack (15).
Ensure they are aligned as shown in Fig 6
and as indicated inside the compartment.
d) Slide the lid closed.
e) Place the base of the battery pack at the
rear of the battery compartment (A). Push
the front edge of the battery pack firmly
into position (B). The two battery clips will
“click” into position to securely hold your
battery pack in place (Fig 7).
CAUTION
High quality alkaline batteries should be used instead of standard
carbon batteries as they will power your
Advantage
longer. The use of
headphones will further extend battery life.

Installation of NiMH Battery Pack
a) Ensure your NiMH pack is fully charged.
b) Place the base of the battery pack at the
rear of the battery compartment (A). Push
the front edge of the battery pack into
position (B). The two battery clips will
“click” into position to hold the battery
pack in place (Fig 7).
NOTE:
The NiMH battery pack is factory sealed
and does not open.
Low Battery Warning and NiMH Recharging
When the batteries are reaching the point at which they will no longer operate
the
Advantage
will emit a distinct sharp “pip” from the speaker, approximately
every 30 seconds. When this tone is heard, it is recommended that the NiMH
battery pack be recharged or alkaline batteries be replaced as soon as possible
to avoid missing any targets.
The NiMH battery pack can be recharged using either a mains powered
charger or a 12V charger that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter of your
vehicle. These accessories are available from your authorised Minelab dealer.
CAUTION
Check the mains charger voltage. Only use the appropriate mains
charger for the country you are in.
