The 1280-X requires very little assembly. Unpack it carefully and
save the carton which may come in handy for future storage or
shipment.
1. Remove the headphone, handle and search coil
assemblies from the shipping carton. Be careful not
to damage the foam rubber inserts or put any strain
on the cable connections.
2. Adjust the stem to the approximate length you will
be using, extended for stand-up use or, as short as
possible for diving. To extend the lower stem, push
in the spring lock, pull out the lower stem and let the
spring lock snap into another hole.
3. If you will be using the 1280-X on the handle, and
not body mounted, wind the search coil cable
around the handle assembly as shown in the diagram
above. Secure the cable with the two Velcro straps
included with your 1280-X. Make sure there is some
slack at the control housing end and enough slack
at the other end to attach the search coil.
4. Remove the Delrin bolt and nylon wing nut from
the search coil. Line up the hole in the stem between
the two holes in the search coil "ears". Attach the
coil to the stem with the bolt and wing nut and finger
tighten.

SEARCH COILS
The 1280-X is available with either the standard 8 inch "Spider"
coil or the 10.5 inch "Spider" coil. As a general rule, the 8 inch coil
is preferred for tight spots, fast moving surf and high density trash
areas. For normal conditions however, the 10.5 inch coil will cover
a little more ground with each sweep and will give slightly more
depth 5 to 20 percent in air, less in soil, depending on target size
and mineralization. The most noticeable depth improvement will
be on large targets in non-mineralized soil.
The coils are not interchangeable since each instrument is
factory tuned to each coil. However you may have your 1280-X
retrofitted by the factory, phone or write for details.
