Battery Replacement - Fisher COIN 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 Coin 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.

holes in the center stem. The coil angle is adjusted by
loosening the nylon wing nut on top of the search coil.
NOTE: Remember, the longer the shaft, the more you'll have to
bend your elbow to keep the coil off the ground and the sooner
your arm will get tired. The Coin Strike is balanced for comfortable
searching in a tight semicircle around the front of the operator.
4. With the stem length properly adjusted, wrap the
search coil cable snugly around the lower stem and
the center section. Leave just enough slack near
the coil to allow it to be tilted completely backward
and forward.
NOTE: A loose cable near the search coil may cause false signals, but
don't wrap it so tightly that it pulls against the housing or the coil.
Adjust the stem length and coil angle
so the coil rests flat on the ground
about 6 to 12 inches in front of your
foot. Move into your "search" position
by leaning slightly and raising the coil
about 2 inches off the ground. This
should put the coil about 12 to 18
inches in front of your lead foot.
5. Reconnect the coil cable to the
control housing. Be careful not to
cross thread it and make sure it's
snug, but hand tightened only.
6. With the shaft length and coil
angle properly adjusted, you should
be able to move into your search
position by leaning forward very
slightly and raising the angle so the
coil rests flat on the ground about 6
to 12 inches in front of your arm.
