METAL DETECTOR
OWNER'S MANUAL
If you do not have prior experience with a
metal detector, we strongly recommend
that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a
low setting in the event
of false signals. Always
begin use at a reduced
sensitivity
chatter or internal noise at
high sensitivity.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for
outdoor use only.
appliances emit electromagnetic energy,
which can interfere with the detector.
conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the
sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away
from appliances such as computers, televisions
and microwave ovens. If your detector beeps
erratically, turn off appliances and lights.
Also keep the searchcoil away from objects
containing metal, such as floors and walls.
3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE
battery only.
Do not use Heavy
Duty Batteries.
