BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Two 9-volt transistor batteries are located in separate compartments at the rear of the housing of the 1236-X2. When it’s time to replace the batteries, always replace both of them.

1.To open the battery compartments, press gently down and out on the battery door latch. The doors are tethered; do not attempt to completely remove them.

2.Tilt the housing gently and the batteries will slide out.

3.Insert the new batteries. Make sure the contact end goes in first and that you match the polarity markings on the control housing.

4.To close, simply hook the lower edge of the battery door over the inside of the battery compartment and gently push shut.

Battery replacement is simple with the 1236-X2’s drop-in battery compartments: just pop the doors open, slide the old batteries out and drop the new ones in.

2.Slip the lower stem into the upper handle.

3.With the search coil cable still disconnected from the control housing, adjust the stem length and coil angle so that the search coil rests flat on the ground about 6 to 12 inches in front of and slightly to the right of your right foot (to the left of your left foot for left handers). The stem length is adjusted by loosening the lower lock nut and allowing the spring lock to snap into one of the holes in the upper handle. The coil angle is adjusted by loosening the nylon wing nut on top of the search coil.

NOTE: Your arm should be straight and relaxed with the hand grip held comfortably (not tight).
