Viking 6
Thank you for your choice in purchasing a
VIKING 6 Metal Detector. It is important that
you read the following instructions carefully
so that you obtain the maximum benefit and
success from your detector.
The VIKING 6 is a non-motion, discriminating
metal detector. This simply means that the
search head does not need to be kept in motion
for detection to take place. Also, unwanted target
objects can be ignored by the detector.

Getting Started

Unpack The Detector
There are two main sections. The 'S' shaft, onto
which is mounted the control box, and the
bottom shaft with the search head.
Assemble The Detector
Slide the lower shaft into the 'S' shaft, wrapping
the cable snugly, but not tightly, round the shaft.
When correctly aligned it will click into 1 of 3
positions.
Tighten the coupling
Turn the coupling to the 'lock' position as
indicated by the arrow. This makes a rigid
connection between the two parts of the shaft.
Insert Battery
The detector takes a single PP3 (square) 9V
battery. This is
compartment on the back of the control box.
ENSURE THE BATTERY IS INSERTED THE
CORRECT WAY ROUND

placed in the battery
