NOTE
Electronics within the F3 COMPACT ensure that its performance
remains consistent as the charge state of the batteries begins to
reduce. When the batteries can no longer supply the necessary
power to sustain correct performance of the detector, a Battery Low
Alarm will alert the operator.
When Battery Low Alarm occurs the operator must immediately
STOP demining operations. The F3 COMPACT should be
switched off and new or recharged batteries inserted into the
3.3 Test Piece – Functional Test
The F3 COMPACT is supplied with a Test Piece designed to confirm
that the detector is working to correct specifications. The sensitivity
of the detector should be checked with the Test Piece when the
Sensitivity Knob is at Position 4 (default). In some instances, a user
may prefer to use inert mines or targets as test pieces because they
represent the local threat. Minelab recommends that the detector
always be first tested with the supplied Test Piece before local test
pieces are used for testing.
