Adjusting The Detector For Comfortable Detecting - Minelab Explorer SE Quick Start Manual

12 Adjusting the Detector for
Comfortable Detecting
For comfortable, long term detecting,
it is important that you take the time to
adjust the detector correctly.
Holding the Detector:
Thread your arm through the armrest
and strap. Grasp the handle of the
detector and rest your forearm in the
armrest.
Adjusting the Position of the Armrest:
The correct position of the armrest
should allow you to comfortably grip the
handle. Your elbow should sit just above
the back of the armrest and the detector
should feel like an extension of your
forearm.
1 Use a screwdriver or the edge of a coin
to loosen the screw in the centre of the
armrest (turn counter-clockwise).
2 While holding the detector, slide the
armrest to sit just below your elbow.
3 Remove your arm. Tighten screw
(clockwise) to lock the armrest into
position.
Adjusting the Armrest Strap:
1 Loosen strap by tilting the edge of the
buckle out to release it from the armrest.
2 Undo the Velcro and pull the buckle
outwards (towards yourself). Clip the
buckle back into place and tighten the
strap to secure.

Adjusting the Length of the Shafts:
The correct length of shaft should allow
you to swing the coil across the ground
without any uncomfortable stretching
or stooping.
If the coil is too far from your body it
will be more difficult to balance and
manoeuvre while detecting.
If the coil is too close to your body it
may detect your digging tools or any
other metal which you are carrying,
causing confusing sounds.
Adjust the lower shaft to the correct
length, securing the camlock to hold it
in place.
For tall people, a longer lower shaft is
available, (Accessories, pg. 74)
