PREPARATION
ASSEMBLING THE METAL DETECTOR
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.
1. Loosen the search coil adjustment
nut.
2. Adjust the search coil to the
desired angle.
• The search coil should be
parallel with the ground.
3. Tighten the search coil adjustment
nut.
4. Turn the stem locking nut
clockwise until it loosens.
5. Lengthen or shorten the stem so
when you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search
coil is about 2.5-5 cm above the
ground with your arm relaxed at
your side.
6. Turn the stem's lock nut counter-
clockwise to lock it in place.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SEARCH COIL OR USE TOOLS
SUCH AS PLIERS TO TIGHTEN IT.

USING HEADPHONES
1. Insert your headphones into the
headphone socket on the control
housing.
Connecting headphones
automatically disconnects the
loudspeaker. Headphones also give
slightly more sensitivity as they reduce
external noise.
CAUTION: SET THE VOLUME TO THE LOWEST LEVEL BEFORE PUTTING ON
THE HEADPHONES. THEN ADJUST THE VOLUME TO A COMFORTABLE
LEVEL.
CAUTION: DO NOT WEAR HEADPHONES WHEN OPERATING NEAR
ROADS OR TRAFFIC.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your detector requires 6 x AA alkaline batteries (not supplied).
1. If the detector is on, turn MODE to OFF.
• When you turn the volume switch to OFF
2. Slide the battery compartment
cover off in the direction of the
arrow.
3. Place 6 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment, matching
the polarity symbols (+ and -)
marked inside.
4. Replace the compartment cover.
• Change all batteries at the same time.
• You can extend battery life by using headphones, which require less
power than the built-in speaker. See “Using Headphones.”
• If the LOW BATT indicator lights during normal use or the detector
does not function properly, replace the batteries. If it still does not
function properly, you might need to reset the detector.
TESTING THE BATTERIES
1. Set the control switch to BATT TEST.
2. Press the Red button on the handle
• If the pointer stops in the green area on the meter the batteries are
OK to use.
• If not, replace all 6 AA batteries as shown above.
CAUTION: USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES .
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES OR DIFFERENT TYPES OF
BATTERIES.
CAUTION: IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO USE THE DETECTOR FOR A WEEK OR
MORE, REMOVE THE BATTERIES. BATTERIES CAN LEAK CHEMICALS THAT
CAN DESTROY ELECTRONIC PARTS.

OPERATION
Your metal detector distinguishes between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver,
copper, platinum, aluminum, lead, and zinc do not.
When the detector senses a metallic object, the meter reading changes.
HOW TO TURN THE DETECTOR ON OR OFF
1. Hold the detector in a comfortable position, and set the control switch to
the OPERATE position.
2. Rotate the volume dial away from the OFF position.
TUNING THE DETECTOR
Follow these steps to tune the detector.
1. Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o'clock position.
2. Set DISCRIMINATION to its mid-point.
3. Hold the search coil at least 30 cm away from the ground
and any metal object, hold down the red button on the
handle and slowly rotate TUNE until the meter pointer resets
at or near 0.
NOTE: Press the red button on the handle at any time during operation
to automatically return the pointer to 0.

TESTING AND USING THE DETECTOR
To learn how the detector reacts to different metals, you should test it before
you use it for the first time. You can test the detector indoors or outdoors.
INDOOR TESTING
1. Remove any watches, rings, or other metal jewellery you are wearing, then
place the detector on a wooden or plastic table.
2. Adjust the search coil's angle so the flat part faces the ceiling.
NOTE: Never test the detector on a floor inside a building. Most buildings
have metal of some kind in the floor, which might interfere with
the objects you are testing or mask the signal completely.
3. Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o'clock position.
4. Set DISCRIMINATION to its mid-point.
5. Move a sample of the material you want the detector to
find (such as a gold ring or a coin) about 5cm above the
search coil.
NOTE:
• The search coil will not detect anything without motion. You must
move the object since you are not sweeping with the detector at
this time.
• If you are using a coin, the detector detects it more easily if you hold
it so a flat side (not the edge) is parallel with the flat side of the
search coil.
• If the detector detects the material, the pointer moves to FERROUS
or NON-FERROUS while the detector determines the type of metal it
is detecting. If it detects non-ferrous metal, it also sounds a tone.
• If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery
level. You might need to fine-tune the detector See “FINE-TUNING
THE DETECTOR” on page 12.
