Battery Replacement - Fisher m-SCOPE 1212-X Operating Manual

FALSE SIGNALS

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Very weak or no audio response means that it's time to change
the battery. A single 9 volt transistor battery is attached to the
inside of the battery panel at the rear of the control housing.
5. Most small nails will be tuned out while most coins
will respond with a good, smooth signal.
5. EXTREMELY TRASHY SOIL: May result in a constant
chatter or "snap, crackle and pop" with assorted,
hard to find "good signals." The obvious solution is
to increase the trash rejection level to maximum.
6. DIGGING TOOL: If you're carrying a metal sand
scoop, digging knife or screwdriver, hold it behind
your back or keep it above your waist. Your 1212-X
is sensitive enough (depending on how big the
digging tool and how low you hold it) to sound off
each time you sweep your search coil beneath it.
1. Remove the battery panel by pulling the Nylatch
fasteners part ially out.
2. Carefully disconnect the battery connector and
remove the battery. NOTE: There may be a rubber
band wrapped around the battery bracket to
keep the battery in place during shipment. This is
not required for normal use.
3. Attach the battery connector to the new battery,
insert the battery into the bracket and reinstall the
battery panel on the control housing.
