  • Page 3: About Your Detector

    By utilizing the various controls on the 1270, you will find more items that were unreachable until today. We at Fisher Research Laboratory always strive to give you maximum performance and quality, and have been doing so since 1931.

  • Page 4: Condensed Operating Instructions

    CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS We recommend that you first read this entire operating manual before taking your new 1270 out for a test drive. You’ll be more successful, and have a better chance of finding more treasure. But, we also understand the excitement of the “hunt”, so here are some simple instructions for setting up the 1270.

  • Page 5: Setting Up

    Figure #1 SETTING UP Your new 1270 comes ready to assemble and use, but first review the steps below before proceeding. STEP 1. Unpack your 1270 carefully, and save the carton: It may come in handy on the rare occasion that you may need service. STEP 2.
  • Page 6 SETTING UP STEP 6. When the stem length is properly adjusted, tighten the lower lock nut, and the coil wing nut. CAUTION: Never use a pliers or anything other than your hand to tighten either lock nut or wing nut. STEP 7.

  • Page 7: Controls & Functions

    CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 1. ON / OFF VOLUME: ON /OFF VOLUME: Allows you turn on the 1270 and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. No need to have a special headphone with volume controls. Turning this control clockwise adjusts the volume. 2.
  • Page 8 CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 7. IRON DISC TOGGLE: When this toggle switch is flipped ON, the 1270 will operate in IRON DISC mode. When operating in this mode, the IRON DISC control becomes ac- tive and the NORMAL DISC control will be ignored. The NORMAL DISC control can be momentarily re-engaged without changing the IRON DISC setting by pushing the MODE TRIGGER switch forward.

  • Page 9: All Metal Mode

    CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS > PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OPERATING MODES A “primary” operating mode is active when the MODE TRIGGER switch is in the Normal (center) position, and the “secondary” operating mode is active when the MODE TRIGGER is in the Swap position (pushed and held).

    ALL METAL MODE metal. This may be tested quickly by pulling the trigger switch and sweep- ing over an area of about one square foot. If no signal is detected, release the trigger switch and raise the search coil off the ground, and lower it back down two or three times (also known as “bobbing”).

  • Page 11: Normal Disc Mode

    NORMAL DISC MODE When rejection of a full range of other non-ferrous trash is desired, the NORMAL DISC mode will be necessary. Make sure the ALL METAL GROUND ADJUST is OFF; that is, fully counterclockwise until it “clicks” into the “0” position. The IRON toggle switch must also be OFF. Adjust the NORMAL DISC knob to reject the unwanted “trash”...

  • Page 12: Search Techniques

    SEARCH TECHNIQUES Good searching techniques are every bit as important as having a good detector. 1. Adjust your SENSITIVITY control. Only experience will tell you how to set it in every situation. As general rule, turn up the sensitivity to achieve maximum depth and detection of small items.
  • Page 13 SEARCH TECHNIQUES NO- MOTION PINPOINT 1. When the target “beep” is heard, make an “X” over the target, as de- scribed above, to determine the target area. 2. Move the coil away from the target area, and lower the coil to the ground. 3.

    Hobby of Metal Detecting. See your local dealer for more information. HEADPHONES The use of headphones has become almost mandatory for the “professional”. It helps block out the outside noise, making those deep weaker signals easier to hear. See your local dealer for more information about quality Fisher headphones.

  • Page 15: False Signals

    FALSE SIGNALS A “False Signal” occurs when something sounds like a good target, but is not. Your 1270 does a great job of discriminating, but bad “targets” with similar electrical characteristics can fool it. Large pieces of trash or items very close to the search coil will occasionally sound “good”.

  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE: Your 1270 doesn’t require a lot of care, nor does it require regular “maintenance”. However, you should do a few things to keep your 1270 in peak operating condition. 1. Remove the batteries if you’re not going to be using your detector for a while.
