ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR Hold S-ROD upright. Insert LOWER STEM into S-ROD and click SILVER BUTTON into a hole. Attach the SEARCHCOIL to the LOWER STEM using the BOLT and KNURLED KNOB. Adjust the LOWER STEM to a length that lets you maintain a comfortable upright posture while holding the detector relaxed at your side with the SEARCHCOIL... -
Page 6: Batteries (Use Alkaline Batteries Only)
BATTERIES The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary “Zinc Carbon” batteries Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you use rechargeables, we recommend using a “Nickel Metal Hydride” rechargeable battery. The battery compartment is located on the back side of the Control Housing. -

Page 8: The Basics Of Metal Detecting
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following challenges and objectives: 1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals. 2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like nails. - Page 9 THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING 5. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy produced by other electronic devices.

Page 12: Target Identification
TARGET IDENTIFICATION Target-ID This is a motion detector. When objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound. A segment will illuminate along the Target Conductivity Arc. The illuminated segment indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. This detector has fast target response and is able to detect different objects in very close proximity. -
