Thank you for choosing the Vibra‐Phone 280 made by Treasure Products, Inc. Now you're ready to enjoy
the freedom of never having to wear headphones again!
The Vibra‐Phone 280 takes the output from the headphone jack of your metal detector and converts
that sound into vibration. This will allow you to feel your detections instead of having to hear them. It's
designed for treasure hunters that are hearing impaired or for those who are just tired of wearing
headphones.
The Vibra‐Phone 280 works with all common metal detectors with a 1/4" headphone jack. No
modifications or special tools are needed. Just clip it to your metal detector, plug it in and you're ready
to go.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation: Vibra‐Phone 280 attaches to your metal detector. The cord on the Vibra‐Phone plugs directly
into the regular headphone jack on your detector. The sound that you would normally hear in your
headphones is directed into the Vibra‐Phone 280 and is then converted into vibration.
Mounting: Snap the Vibra‐Phone 280 onto the pole of your metal detector, preferably under the arm
portion. Plug the stereo cable on the Vibra‐Phone 280 into the headphone jack of your metal detector.
Note: If your detector is not built with conventional 'round tubing', you can use a short piece of
standard schedule 40 plastic pipe (commonly used in sprinkler systems). Attach the pipe to your metal
detector securely with hose clamps or plastic tie‐wraps. Then attach your Vibra‐phone to that new piece
of pipe.
Battery: Uses one standard 9 volt. To install rotate the rear knob counter‐clockwise a few turns and
remove the compression seal. Connect the battery and insert top end first. Replace the seal and hand
tighten turning clockwise to secure. Note: Weak or nonexistent vibrations may indicate a low battery.
Turn on: Rotate the 'Sensitivity' knob clockwise. It will click as you move from the 'off' position. The unit
is now on.
Turn off: Rotate the 'Sensitivity' knob full counterclockwise until it clicks. The unit is now off.

- Page 2 ADJUSTMENTS Sensitivity Knob: The sensitivity is adjusted by rotating the ‘Sensitivity’ knob. For detectors with a ‘threshold sound’, adjust the sensitivity up until you feel the vibration from the threshold then back it off until it stops vibration. This is the most sensitive point. All other detectors, simply rotate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob full clockwise to its maximum position. Pulse width Knob: This adjusts the length, or ‘Pulse width’, of vibration you feel. Adjust the “Pulse width” pot using a standard slot screwdriver. If your detector has a short sharp tone when a target is detected, you may have difficulty feeling it when it is converted to vibration. Adjust the pot to increase the length of the vibration you will feel. Once you’ve adjusted the pot to your liking, you should not have to change this adjustment again. CARE AND MAINTANANCE Remember to always turn the ‘Sensitivity’ knob to the ‘Off’ position when not in use to conserve battery life. When the Vibra‐Phone 280 is in the off position there is no drain on the battery. However, for long periods of storage, we recommend you remove the battery from the battery compartment to prevent damage to the device due to potential battery leak. • • • Treasure Products, Inc.
