excellent performance.
Please take time to read this booklet. It will guide
you through each of the available features to
ensure you get the best out of your detector.

Getting Started

1. Unpack The Detector
There are two main sections. The 'S' shaft, onto
which is mounted the control box, and the lower
shaft with the search head. Note the spring
button near the end of the lower shaft.
2. Assemble The Detector
Slide the lower shaft into the 'S' shaft, wrapping
the cable snugly, but not tightly, round the shaft.
When correctly aligned the spring button on the
lower shaft will click into 1 of the 3 holes on the
underside of the 'S' shaft.
3. Tighten the coupling

indicated by the arrow. This makes a rigid

4. Insert Battery
The detector takes a single PP3 (alkaline) 9V
battery. This is
