Batteries - Bounty Hunter Platinum Owner's Manual

BATTERIES

The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included).
Do not use ordinary zinc carbon 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 battery
compartment.
BATTERY LIFE
Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt alkaline battery.
Rechargeable batteries provide about 8 hours of usage per charge.
SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE
You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is
illuminated.
With one segment flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.
For loudest speaker volume, select 1 or 2 tones under the # OF TONES
menu selection.
BATTERY INDICATOR
The 2-segment battery indicator has 3 stages of indication.
These indications are accurate for a 9-volt alkaline battery.
Segments Illuminated
2 -segments
1 -segment
1 -segment flashing
After the battery indicator begins flashing, expect the detector to shut off
within 10 minutes.
A rechargeable battery will usually illuminate both segments throughout
most of its useful charge. But as soon as it drains to the 1-segment level,
it will then discharge very rapidly.
