To install or replace the battery, first make sure the SENSITIVITY control is set to POWER 
OFF—turned completely counterclockwise past the “click.” Remove the battery door from 
the back of the control housing. Do this by pressing your thumb firmly on the louvered 
square—at the bottom of the battery door—and sliding the battery door upward in the 
direction of the arrow.  

Check the polarity on the battery and on the diagram inside the battery compartment. Make 
sure that they match and simply drop a fresh 9 volt alkaline battery into the compartment. 

Note: If the battery is not installed properly, damage may occur to your detector.

  

Replace the battery door by sliding it into place making sure the upper mount slots are in line 
and the lock tongue is snapped in place.  

(Above photo depicts the Silver Sabre µMax model; however, battery installation is the 
same for the Golden µMax.) 

 

 

ASSEMBLING YOUR DETECTOR 

1.

 

On the lower pole assembly, remove the mounting screw and thumb nut from the 
black nylon pole tip. 

2.

 

Insert the pole tip between the mounting ears of the searchcoil and align the holes of 
the pole tip and washers with those of the mounting ears. 

Note: The pole tip should fit very snugly into the mounting ears.

 

 

 

3.

 

Insert the mounting screw through the holes in the mounting ears and pole tip—
entering from the side opposite the cable connection.
