The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new
batteries first check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive
screws located in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover.
Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted. Load it
with the eight batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted the correct way round, (direction of
batteries alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located correctly and making proper
contact. Replace the connector making sure that its is firm and well seated, and put the loaded
holder into the housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger tight.
Note : Zinc Carbon batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could
leak, so remember to remove them at the end of a day's searching.
BATTERY CHECK
A battery condition indicator is provided on the detector. To do this for the first time prior to
reading the remainder of the operating instructions proceed as follows : - Turn the SENSITIVITY
(POWER) control on. Press the centre push switch marked BATT CHECK and hold down. The
meter will indicate in the green area if the batteries are good and in the left or central position if the
batteries need replacing or recharging. Release the switch and turn the SENSITIVITY control off.
Rechargeable batteries will not read as high into the green as standard batteries even when fully
charged. They also give less indication of discharge on the meter during use.
