Page 2 To protect your investment complete both sections of the guarantee at the back of this instruction booklet and return the reply paid portion to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to obtain the free second year parts guarantee. Please retain the original packing box. In the event that your detector should ever require to serviced.

Page 4 HP7s are standard batteries and are available from garages, department etc. Rechargeable batteries in two packs, together with a charger are available as a C-Scope Accessory. It is advised that to begin with standard HP7s are used. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in rechargeables is justified.
Page 5 Bmery Check 81 Charging As a guide to battery condition a Battery Check facility is provided. To check the batteries switch on the detector at the ON/OFF Tune Switch and tune the detector by turning this control clockwise, with the Memory Retune Buttons (vi) or (vii) depressed. Once the detector is set at the central Tune position release the Retune Button and then depress the Battery Check tv) switch.
Page 6 PROGRAMMED METHOD OF OPERATION After assembly and banery insertion the METADEC II is now ready for operation. The METADEC II is extremely simple to operate, and ,is programmed and designed in such a way that the operator is not required to adjust discriminate or ground exclude levels. All that Is required is to turn the detector ON at the ON/OFF Tune Switch (0) and tune the detector to threshold, as described below, and then programme the mode of operations.
Page 7 · D. CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO The controls are divided into two areas. Those on the Main Control Box (W) and those on the Meter Console X (see Diagram 3l. On/Off Tune Switch IQI- Tuning P.6. Function Switch/Ground Exclude lSI This control selects for the type of site.
Page 8 Sensitivity (R) The SENSlTl V lTY CONTROL regulates the sensitivity of the detector to drift, instability etc., as well as to metal objects. The recommended starting point is O. By increasing the Sensitivity by tuning this control into the sector the detector will be more prone to drift, erratic signals, ground interference, etc.

Page 10 In practice the operator concentrates on careful sweeping of the search head in large arcs, keeping the search head near to the ground and level. When a signal is received, the operator can then take the search Iclead away from the influence of the object, hold it steady at the operating height, carefully retune the detector and then carefully re-scan across the object to analyse and pinpoint the object.

By increasing the Sensitivity by tuning this control into the sector the detector will be more prone to drift, erratic signals, ground interference.
Page 12 If the site has no Ground Effect, when the search head is lowered the meter signal will not fall or rise irrespective of where the manual ground exclude is set. tn this case the Normal Inland Ground setting may be used. This setting causes most normal size iron to be totally ignored. (i.e. There is no negative signal.l Only good objects register.

Page 16 The Importance of the Right Approach Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent manner. Time spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if your search is hasty and erratic.
Page 17 Sweeping - For Example: For extremely small object searching, such as coins, rings, nuggets, etc. lower the search coil to within one inch of the ground. Sweep the coil from side to side in a straight line in front of you. Keep the coil at a constant height as you sweep from side to side.
Page 18 Help keep Britain tidy - and help yourself. Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans are the last things you should throwaway. You could well be digging them up again next year. Do yourself and the community a favour by taking all the rusty junk you find to the nearest litter bin. Do not trespass.
Page 19 Sometimes battery drain can cause drift of signal. Replace batteries and this should help to maintain a stable signal. Before returning a detector for repair to C-Scope ensure you have done the following: Read instructions thoroughly. Tried new batteries and checked procedure outlined above.
