Insert the washers as shown on the telescopic shaft. Install the telescopic shaft to its location
on the search coil. Secure by tightening the screw and nut.
Loosen the twist lock before mounting the telescopic shaft to the upper rod. Press down the pin
and engage the pieces together and tighten the twist lock after the pin is clicked into the hole.Wind
the cable of the search coil on the telescopic shaft without stretching too much. Plug the connector
on the cable to the search coil input socket on the system box and secure by tightening the nut.
Loosen the twist lock of the telescopic shaft to extend or shorten it. Adjust the length of the
shaft by keeping the pin located on the rear pressed down and clicking the pin in any of the
holes. Secure by tightening the twist lock.
Insert the armrest band through its slot as shown in the figure. Loosen the screws and adjust
the armrest position to your comfort by sliding it down or up and secure by tightening the
screws.

General Description of the Device
Page_2
The device is supplied with 4 pieces of AA Alkaline batteries.
To remove the battery compartment cover, press on the latch and pull out. Insert the batteries
observing correct polarity of + (plus) and - (minus).
The device can be used for approximately 25-30 hours when the batteries are fully charged.
Operating time of other brands and types of batteries available on the market may vary.
AA Alkaline batteries are recommended for the best performance. Good quality Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries can be used, too. Rechargeable batteries with high mAh (capacity)
ratings oer extended operating times than batteries with lower rating. We recommend use of
minimum 2500mAh batteries.
Low Battery Level
Battery icon on the display shows the battery life status. When the charge decreases, the bars
inside the battery icon decrease, too. "Lo" message appears on the display when the batteries
are depleted and the device shuts down after a short period.

Assemble the device as per the instructions on page 1.
Insert the batteries by paying attention to +/- polarity.
Rotate the on/off switch located behind the device clockwise to turn on the
device. This switch also adjusts the volume.
When the device is turned on, it will start in the Two Tone mode. You can
change the mode based on the area that you are searching. For instance, if
your search will be performed on wet beach sand, select the Beach mode.
To ground balance, push and hold the trigger forward and pump the search
coil up and down 3cm (1.2'') above the ground until a “beep” sound is heard.
You can increase the GAIN if needed. Increasing the gain will offer you
greater depth. However, if the surroundings or the ground cause excessive
noise in the device, you need to lower the gain setting.
Testing with various metals is useful for getting familiar with the sounds
produced by the device.
Based on the IDs of the metals you don't want to detect, you can set the ID
FILTER and ignore those metals. For instance, if you don’t want to detect
ferrous metals with 20 ID, you can adjust the ID FILTER to 21.
You can now start searching.
Since your device operates with the motion principle, swing the search coil
right and left maintaining 5cm (2") distance above the ground. If the search
coil does not move, the device will not provide any warning tones even if
the coil is over a metal target.
When a target is detected, the ID of the target is displayed on the screen
and the cursor indicates its position in the ID and color scale. The device
also produces a warning tone based on the search mode selected.
Upon target detection, you can pinpoint the exact location of the target by
pulling and holding the trigger back.

Quick Guide

MODE
4 search modes adapted to different ground conditions and target types are offered by RACER.
Names of the search modes are defined as All Metal, Two Tone, Three Tone and Beach on the
menu screen. You can easily switch between the modes by using the direction keys during your
search. See MODES for more details (page 10-11).
Select a setting from the menu by using the
up/down buttons. The value of the selected
setting is shown on the display. You can
change the value by using the + and -
buttons.
If up/down and +/- buttons are kept
pressed for a certain period, options and
values change more rapidly.
If no button is pressed for a while after
selecting a setting or changing its value, the
device automatically returns to MODE option.
Pulling the trigger enables to return to the
MODE option without waiting.
GAIN
It is the depth setting of the device. It is also used to eliminate the ambient electromagnetic
signals from the surrounding environment and noise signals transmitted from ground.
Gain setting range is 01-99 and pre-defined for each mode. All modes start at default settings.
They can be manually modified when necessary. Gain adjustment applies to the selected mode;
the modified setting does not affect the gain setting of the other modes.
For more details, please read GAIN AND THRESHOLD on page 16.
THRESHOLD
This setting is used to adjust the humming sound, referred to as the threshold sound, which is
continuously heard in the background in the All Metal mode. It is used to increase the target
signal, in other words, the depth of the device. For more details, please refer to the section titled
GAIN AND THRESHOLD (page 16).
ID FILTER
TARGET ID is the number produced by the metal detector based on the conductivity of the
metals and gives an idea to the user about what the target may be. Target ID is shown with two
digits on the display and ranges between 01-99.
ID FILTER is the ability of the device to ignore unwanted metals. In other words, the detector will
not provide a warning tone or a target ID when such metals are detected. It provides ease of use
by rejecting mineralized rocks (hot rocks) and metals such as iron and foil.
