Your Tracker II is an advanced technology Metal
Detector. If you are new to the hobby or have
never used a metal detector before, we
recommend that you:
1) Do Not Use Indoors. Household
appliances generate
electromagnetic fields, which can
interfere with the detector.
If demonstrating indoors, turn the
sensitivity down and keep the
searchcoil away from floors,
walls, and metal objects.
2) Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low
setting in the event of false
signals or chatter. A little practice is
required to understand when and how to
position the sensitivity at or near 100%.
3) Use 9-volt ALKALINE Batteries only.
Don not use Heavy Duty
Batteries
"Zinc Carbon" Batteries.
4) Please read this manual.
