Minelab’s battery chargers are suitable for the Explorer NiMH battery pack only. The battery chargers will not recharge rechargeable alkaline batteries. Using

anon-Minelab charger with the battery pack may damage it and will void the product warranty.

Recharging NiMH battery pack with the car charger

The Explorer II is provided with a car charger that boosts the voltage of the car battery (usually about 12V) to a voltage sufficiently high to charge the NiMH battery pack.

STEP 1 Remove battery pack as per instructions on page 24.

STEP 2 Insert the car charger plug into the cigarette lighter socket.

STEP 3 Insert the car charger plug into the socket at the tapered end of the battery pack. A small light on the car charger illuminates indicating that the car charger is in operation.

NOTE Some vehicles will need the ignition to be switched on

to ‘accessories’ for power to be supplied to the charger.

STEP 4 Leave the battery to charge for about 18 hours for a complete recharge. If the battery was not completely discharged, the charging time will be shorter.

The car charger is provided with a 3AG 2Amp fast fuse for short circuit protection that can be accessed by unscrewing the tip of the cigarette lighter plug.

NOTE Charging the battery beyond full capacity will not damage the NiMH battery pack, but it could gradually discharge your car battery.

This feature provides users with a visual representation of the detected signals, allowing them to distinguish between different types of metals. The LCD screen displays a target ID, enabling the detectorist to make informed decisions about whether to dig or not based on the target’s identity. This capability not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency of treasure hunting.

Another significant characteristic of the Explorer II is its customizable settings.

Users can also manipulate sensitivity settings and discrimination levels, tailoring the device to their specific needs and preferences. This level of customization makes the Explorer II a versatile tool suitable for various terrains and conditions.

The build quality of the Explorer II is also commendable. Designed for durability, it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use while remaining lightweight and user-friendly. The adjustable shaft allows for comfortable use for users of all heights, and the ergonomic design ensures that long treasure hunting sessions are less fatiguing.

Battery life is another area where the Explorer II excels. The device operates on a rechargeable battery, providing extended use without the need for frequent changes. This capacity for prolonged operation makes it ideal for long days out in the field.

In summary, the Minelab P0591-A Explorer II is a sophisticated metal detector that combines innovative technology with user-friendly features. Its Multi-Frequency Technology, Smartfind discrimination, customization options, and durable build make it a top choice for those serious about metal detecting. Whether searching for coins in local parks or exploring historical sites, the Explorer II provides users with the tools necessary for a successful treasure hunting experience.
