Assembling your detector is easy and
requires no special tools. Follow these
steps to assemble the detector.
1. Loosely attach the searchcoil to
the lower stem using the supplied
bolt and knurled knob.
_
Do not
tighten the bolt and knob yet.
2. While pressing and holding down
the button on the top of the lower
stem, slide the lower stem tube
into the upper stem tube.
3. Adjust the stem to a length that
lets you comfortably stand upright.
The stem should be long enough
to let you comfortably hold the
detector so the searchcoil is level
to the ground and about ½ to 2
inches above the ground with your
arm relaxed at your side.

4. Wind
the
searchcoil's
cable
around the stem. Leave enough
slack in the cable to let you adjust
the searchcoil when you are hunt-
ing on uneven
ground.
5. Insert the searchcoil's plug into the
matching connector on the detec-
tor's control housing. Make sure
the pins on the plug align with the
holes in the connector.
Cautions:
• The searchcoil's plug fits into
the connector only one way. Do
not force it.
• To disconnect the searchcoil's
cable from the detector, grasp
the plug and pull it out of the
connector. Never pull on the
cable.
6. Adjust
the
searchcoil
to
the
desired position, then tighten it by
turning the bolt and knurled knob
in opposite directions until they
stop.
Caution: Do not overtighten the
searchcoil or use tools such as pli-
ers to tighten it.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need two 9-volt alkaline batteries
(such as Cat. No. 23-553) to power
your detector.
1. If the detector is on, turn
SENSITIV-
ITY
on the front panel fully counter-
clockwise until it clicks to turn it off.
