ASSEMBLING THE
DETECTOR
Assembling your detector is easy and re- quires no special tools. Just follow these steps.
1. Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
2. Lengthen or shorten | Search | |||
the | stem | so when | ||
you | stand | upright | Coil | |
Knobs | ||||
with | the | detector in |
| |
your hand, the search |
| |||
coil is level with and | Stem | |||
about 1/2 to 2 inches |
| |||
above | the | ground | Lock Nut | |
with your arm relaxed | ||||
at your side.
3. Turn the stem’s lock nut
4. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and connec- tor. Insert the stem
and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem.
Push the connector through the holes, then replace and tighten the knobs.
5.Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable to let you adjust the search coil when you are hunting on uneven ground.
6.Insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control
housing so the pins on the plug are aligned with the holes in the jack.
Cautions:
•The search coil’s plug fits into the connector only one way. Do not force the plug or you could damage it.
•To disconnect the search coil’s cable from the detector, grasp the plug and pull it out of the connector. Never pull on the cable.
7.Loosen the knob at the search coil’s end, then adjust the search coil to the desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten the knob just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling.
Caution: Do not overtighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
8.Loosen the knob at the base of the han- dle, insert the arm support, and tighten the knob.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your detector requires two 9V alkaline bat- teries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recom- mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, differ- ent types of batteries (standard, alka- line, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
