Changing Endcaps - Minelab F3 Mine Detector Operation Manual

2.5 Changing Endcaps.

The F3 can be used with Black, Red or Yellow Sensitivity Endcaps.
The decision on which Endcap to use will be provided by the local
authority. To fit a Sensitivity Endcap:
a. Ensure the F3 is switched off.
b. Place the thumb of one hand in the centre of the Endcap and curl
the fingers under the base of the Endcap.
c. Gently push inwards with the thumb and simultaneously pull the
base of the Endcap away from the Electronics Pack (Figure 11).
d. Exchange or replace the Endcap by gently positioning the inside
of the base of the Endcap under the base of the Electronics Pack.
Using the palm of the hand, apply light pressure to fit the Endcap
into position.
The Sensitivity Endcap also provides impact protection to
the Electronics Pack. Whenever an Endcap has been
removed from the Electronics Pack never place the base of
the detector against the ground or sharp objects.
