Batteries - Teknetics TreasureTek Elite Owner's Manual

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 wish to use rechargeable batteries,
we recommend using a Nickel Metal
Hydride rechargeable battery.
The battery compartment is located on the
back side of the housing.
Slide the battery door to the side and
remove it to expose the
compartment.
For easy battery removal, push down
firmly on the bottom of the battery (see
illustration).
Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt alkaline battery.
B TTERY LIFE
Rechargeable batteries provide about 8 hours of usage per charge.
The battery icon at the top-right of the display has three vertical segments and
B TTERY INDIC TOR
an outline segment.
The amount of battery voltage for an ALKALINE battery is indicated as follows:
3 vertical segments illuminated: 8.1 volts or more
2 vertical segments illuminated: 7.1 to 8.0 volts
1 vertical segment illuminated:
No vertical segments illuminated: 6.2 to 6.4 volts
Outline Flashing: 6.1 volts or less
You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is illuminated.
SPE KER VOLUME ND B TTERY CH RGE
With the outline flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.
Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or recycled.
B TTERY DISPOS L & RECYCLING
Non-Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California all battery
types must be recycled. Please refer to local municipalities for detailed disposal
and recycling requirements.

MODE SELECTIONS
Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination
IRON IDENTIFIC TION
The TreasureTek Elite allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but
classifies them by size and signal strength. Ferrous objects will have a Target-
ID between 1 and 39.
To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.
Alternatively, the user can selectively eliminate ferrous objects less than a given
Target-ID. For example, to eliminate ferrous objects with an ID of less than 15,
choose a DISC setting of 14.
FeTone™, Adjustable Iron Audio
Volume settings 10-20 allow the user to change the volume response of ferrous
metals, as described on page 13.
Iron-Indicator
The IRON icon flashes momentarily when ferrous objects are present.
The IRON icon flashes independent of the discrimination setting. The user
cannot disable this icon.
Relic hunters will frequently seek out iron-laden sites as good prospective
treasure-hunting sites. The TreasureTek Elite Iron-Indicator is intended for this
purpose. The indicator alerts the user to the presence of iron, even if iron has
been discriminated out. Relic hunters can search free of iron-target audio, yet
still be alerted to the presence of ferrous objects or search with no discrimination
and use the FeTone™ feature to decrease the Audio Volume of ferrous targets.
Press-and-hold to enter the no-motion Pinpoint Mode of operation.
PINPOINT MODE
"PP" is momentarily displayed on the screen.
In Pinpoint Mode:
• No searchcoil motion is required.
Any metal object in the searchcoil's field of detection will induce an audible
hum, regardless of whether the searchcoil is in motion or motionless.
• Target-ID is not possible.
• Discrimination is not possible.
All metal targets are detected, regardless of the DISC setting.
• Audio feedback is V.C.O.
All targets induce V.C.O. audio, regardless of the DISC setting.
• Target depth is displayed.
Pinpoint is typically used to precisely identify the location of an object previously
detected in the Discrimination Mode.
The Pinpoint Mode can also be useful in tracing the outline of larger objects. Since
searchcoil motion is not required, very slow movement around an object can
reveal an outline of its shape.
While not intended as a continuous-search mode, Pinpoint can be used in this
fashion if the user keeps the button depressed.
