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.
2. Do not use indoors. Detector is for outdoor use only.
Household appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which
can 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.
Do not mix old and new 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.
