Setting Up - Fisher M-SCOPE 1236-X2 Operating Manual

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Two 9-volt transistor batteries are located in separate compartments
at the rear of the housing of the 1236-X2. When it's time to replace
the batteries, always replace both of them.
1. To open the battery compartments, press gently
down and out on the battery door latch. The doors
are tethered; do not attempt to completely remove
them.
2. Tilt the housing gently and the batteries will slide
out.
3. Insert the new batteries. Make sure the contact
end goes in first and that you match the polarity
markings on the control housing.
4. To close, simply hook the lower edge of the battery
door over the inside of the battery compartment
and gently push shut.
Battery replacement is simple with the 1236-X2's drop-in battery
compartments: just pop the doors open, slide the old batteries
out and drop the new ones in.

the following illustration before proceeding.

2. Slip the lower stem into the upper handle.
3. With the search coil cable still disconnected
from the control housing, adjust the stem length
and coil angle so that the search coil rests flat
on the ground about 6 to 12 inches in front of
and slightly to the right of your right foot (to the
left of your left foot for left handers). The stem
length is adjusted by loosening the lower lock nut
and allowing the spring lock to snap into one of
the holes in the upper handle. The coil angle is
adjusted by loosening the nylon wing nut on top
of the search coil.
NOTE: Your arm should be straight and relaxed
with the hand grip held comfortably (not tight).
