ASSEMBLING
Assembly of the PROMET 3 requires no special tools.
YOUR PROMET 3
1. Remove the various parts from the box (the lower stem is already inserted
into the middle stem) and lay on a clear surface as shown in the diagram
below.
2. Unscrew the locking nut and remove the screw from the search head.
Insert the lower stem between the lugs of the search head so the holes in
the stem, friction boot and lugs are aligned.
3. Insert the head screw from the same side that the cable enters the
search head and tighten the locking nut. Do not tighten with pliers or
tools as this can cause over stress to the lugs. It is advisable to release
the tension on the nut when the machine is not in use.
4. Hand tighten the knurled nut between the middle and lower stem. An
olive insert ensures a tight grip is achieved.
5. Slacken the knurled nut on the handle stem and insert the middle stem
by depressing the spring stud and locating the stud into one of the four
hole positions depending on stem length required (the lower hole is ideal
position for use when transporting your machine).
6. Hand tighten both the knurled nuts.
7. Wrap the head cable tightly around the stem and insert the plug into the
socket under the handle.

BATTERIES
The PROMET 3 is powered byeither: ­
a) 12 HP7 Penlight Balleries (not supplied) in 2 six-pack battery holders
(supplied with detector) or,
b) 2 rechargeable packs (an optional accessory).
HP7s are standard batteries and are available from garages, department
stores, etc.
Rechargeable batteries in two packs, together with a charger are available as
a C-Scope Accessory.
It is advised that standard HP7s are used to begin with. You can then
evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the
investment in rechargeables is justified.
Battery life is dependent on many things and is difficult to generalise on. The
PROMET 3 is designed in such a way that the audio discriminate only draws
significant extra current when a good object is located. It is certainly
recommended that headphones are used as not only does this guarantee
better depth penetration but it also extends battery life substantially.
