Battery Replacement - Fisher Gold Strike Operating Manual

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Two 9-volt transistor batteries are located in separate
compartments on the underside of the control housing. When you
first turn on your detector you will see your battery level. It flashes
for 3 seconds. A reading of 9V means you have maximum battery
life. A reading of 6V indicates that you have approximately 11/2
to 1 hour left of battery life.
CHANGING YOUR BATTERIES:
1. Remove the control housing from the handle grip
by holding the grip in one hand and sliding the control
housing toward you.
2. Remove the battery doors by gently
lifting the two tabs at the end of the control
housing.
3. Remove the batteries by pulling on the nylon straps
attached to the bottom of the battery
compartments.
4. Install fresh alkaline batteries and reinstall the
battery covers. Make sure the batteries are
positioned properly as indicated by the "+" polarity
markings inside the battery compartments.
If either or both of the batteries are installed
incorrectly, the Gold Strike will simply not turn on.
The detector will not be damaged.
Remember your search coil must be connected to
the control housing for power to be turned on.
