Important Facts to Know
about your Metal Detector.
1. This is a MOTION detector.
You must sweep the searchcoil from
side-to-side to detect metal.
A motionless searchcoil over a metal object will
not result in detection.

outdoor use only.

interfere with your detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,
turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from
appliances such as microwaves, computers and televisions. If your
detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.
Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal.
Keep the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can
contain metal.
3. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.
Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.
Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon batteries.
4. Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signals
Always begin use at reduced sensitivity.
Increase to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector's
operation.
