PREPARATION

ASSEMBLING THE
DETECTOR
Assembling your detector is easy and
requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.
1. Loosely attach the searchcoil to
the lower stem using the supplied
bolt and knurled knob. Do not
tighten the bolt and knob yet.
2. While holding down the button on
the top of the lower stem, slide the
lower stem tube into the upper
stem tube.
3. Adjust the stem to a length that
lets you comfortably stand upright.
The stem should be long enough
to let you comfortably hold the
detector so the searchcoil is level
to the ground and about
inches above the ground with your
arm relaxed at your side.
4. Adjust the searchcoil
desired position, then tighten it by
turning the bolt and knob in oppo-
site directions until they stop.
Caution: Do not overtighten the
searchcoil or use tools such as pli-
ers to tighten it.
5. Wind
around the stem. Leave enough
slack in the cable to let you adjust
