ASSEMBLY
Assembly is easy and
requires no tools.
●
1
Loosen both Locking Collars by
rotating 100% counterclockwise.
●
2
Insert the Upper Stem into the S-Rod and click
Silver Button into hole.
●
3
Position the Lower Stem with the Silver
Button toward the back. Using the Bolt
and Knurled Knob, attach the Search
Coil to the Lower Stem.
●
4
Press the button on the upper end of the
Lower Stem and slide the Lower Stem in to the
Upper Stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain
a comfortable upright posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side, and the search coil
parallel to the ground in front of you.
●
5
Wind the cable securely around the stems.
●
6
Insert the plug into the matching connector on
the back of the detector body. Do not twist the
cable or plug. Be sure that the key-way and
pins line up correctly. Turn knurled cap nut
only. Tighten knurled cap nut by hand to secure
cable connection to housing.
●
7
Tighten both Locking Collars.
●
8
Secure the cable with the 2 velcro straps
provided, one on the Lower Stem close to the
coil, one on the Upper Stem, close to the
housing.
Caution:
Do not force the plug in. Excess
force will cause damage. To
disconnect the cable, pull on the
plug.
Do not pull on the cable.

hobby, you may want to dig all
targets at first. With practice in
the field, you will learn to better
discern the nature of buried
objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is
present. False signals can be
induced by electromagnetic
interference, oxidation, or highly
mineralized ground soils. If the
detector beeps once, but does
not repeat the signal with several
additional sweeps over the same
spot, there is probably no target
present.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short sweeps.
You will be surprised just how
much trash metal and foil you will
find in some areas. The trashiest
areas have been frequented by
the most people, and frequently
hold the most promise for finding
the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface
of the ground, without making
contact with the ground. Making
contact with the ground can
cause false signals.
