Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Use and store the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or
melt plastic parts.
WARNING
: malfunction may occur if the power is on when the batteries are replaced.
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, do not puncture or do not
throw batteries in fire as they might explode. Dispose of batteries in accordance with
local regulations.

Treasure Hunter’s Code of Ethics
All treasure hunters might be judged by the example you set. Here are a few basic rules you should
follow:
Always get permission before searching any site.
Respect the rights and property of others.
Observe all national, state, and local laws while treasure hunting.
Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures. If you are not sure about an object you have
found, contact a museum or historical society in your area.
Leave the land and vegetation as it was. Fill in any holes you dig.
Use your detector only in safe areas.
Dispose of any junk you find, only in approved areas. Do not leave it for the next treasure hunter
to find.

Preparation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
a. Assembling the metal detector
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps.
1. Turn the stem's lock nut clockwise until it loosens
[A]
.
2. Lengthen or shorten the stem so when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, the
search coil is level with the ground and about 1/2 to 2 inches (1 to 5cm) above it with your arm
relaxed at your side
[B]
.
3. Turn the stem's lock nut anticlockwise to lock it in place.
4. Unscrew the knob on the search coil and remove the knobs and connector. Insert the stem and
align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem. Push the connector through the holes and
tighten the knob
[C]
.
5. Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable to let you adjust the
search coil when you are hunting on uneven ground
[C]
.
6. Insert the search coil's plug into the search coil jack on the detector's control housing. Be sure
the pins on the plug align with the holes in the jack
[D]
.
Caution:
• The search coil's plug fits into the connector in only one way. Do not force the plug or you
could damage it.
• To disconnect the search coil's cable from the detector, grasp the plug and pull it out of the
connector. Never tug at the cable.
7. Loosen the knob at the search coil's end and adjust the search coil to the desired angle. (The
search coil should be parallel with the ground). Tighten the knob just enough to keep the search
coil from rotating or wobbling
[E]
.
Caution:
Do not tighten the search coil too hard or use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
8. Loosen the knob at the base of the handle, insert the arm support, and tighten the knob
[F]
.
b. Installing the batteries
Caution:
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities).
1. If the detector is on, turn
VOLUME
(on the control housing) to
OFF
(the control clicks)
[G].
2. Press the right battery compartment cover's tab and slide the cover off in the direction of the
arrow
[H]
.
3. Place a 9-volt battery into the battery compartment on top of the ribbon, matching the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
4. Replace the right battery compartment cover.
