BATTERIES
Use ALKALINE
batteries only.
To install the
batteries:
G
1
Remove
the
battery cover by
disengaging the
clip at the back.
G
2
Align the polarity
of the batteries
correctly,
with
the positive "+"
toward the coil
plug connection,
as indicated by
the
+
and
–
indicators
on
the
housing.
G
3
Insert (2) 9-Volt ALKALINE batteries, with the contacts pointed inward,
and press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.
Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear the
retaining tabs.
G
4
Replace the battery door.
The Low Battery Indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries need
to be replaced.
Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries,
or the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries. If the detector does
not turn on, please check the batteries.
DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by
"X-ing" the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing
side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the "beep"
sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight
forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which
the "beep" sounds.
6. If needed, "X" the target at
different angles to "zero in" on
the exact spot on the ground at
which the "beep" sounds.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X",
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.
