VK20 & VK30
Thank you for purchasing a VK-Series
detector from VIKING. This is one of a family

non-motion operation, which assists with the
accurate pinpointing of targets.
Please take time to read this booklet. It will guide
you through each of the available features to
ensure you get the best out of your detector.
The term 'motion' used above simply means the
search head needs to be kept moving in order to
