Garrett Pro-pointer II Owner's Manual page 4

Operational Information and Tips
• Operation is completely automatic. All metals will be detected
including ferrous and non-ferrous.
• When a target is detected, the Pro-Pointer II will produce
an audio and vibration alert. The rate of the pulsing audio and
vibrations increase proportionately as the pinpointer is moved closer
to a metallic target.
• Maximum detection of very small targets is obtained against the side
about ½" from the tip.
• To avoid cancelling out a target, do not turn on the Pro-Pointer II while
it is adjacent to the target.
• Because the Pro-Pointer II is a static, non-motion detector, optimum
operation is achieved when the unit is switched off between uses.
• Avoid using the Pro-Pointer II as a digging or prying tool. It is designed
for flat side-scanning and precise pinpointing with its tip. It is not
intended to be used with excessive force.
• Make sure the battery cap threads are free of sand, sediment, etc. and
that the O-ring is periodically lubricated with silicone grease to maintain
a tight seal.
• To remove dried dirt, mud or other debris from the unit, simply hand
wash with soap, water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with running water.
Do not use any type of abrasive or chemical cleaners which could scratch
or erode its surface. The Pro-Pointer II is water resistant; however, avoid
spraying water directly into the speaker grill and do not submerge the
entire detector in water.
• Do not affix metallic labels (or any material that might cause the
detector to alarm) to the detection area of the Pro-Pointer II.
• The Pro-Pointer's static mode makes it an excellent utility locator to
find metal studs and pipes in walls or nails in the drywall. Use a side-
scan technique to quickly cover large areas and then use the pinpointing
tip to precisely locate the target.
Weather Resistancy and Water Use Information
The Garrett Pro-Pointer II meets IEC 60529 IP 66 dust and water-
resistancy standards. This allows you to search muddy and wet areas, and to
hunt in the rain, without concern of damaging your pinpointer. The detection
portion of the Pro-Pointer II may be submerged. It is recommended that the
unit not be submerged beyond the power switch.
