OWNER’S MANUAL

The

Discovery 2200

is a professional metal

detector. While the most

difficult aspects of metal detecting

have been automated, it is a

sophisticated electronic device which

requires an understanding of some basic

features and metal detecting concepts.

If you do not have prior experience with a

metal detector, we strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event

of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced

sensitivity level; increase to full sensitivity after you have

become familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many

household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can

interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,

turn the sensitivity down and keep the search coil away from

appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.

If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights,

especially those with dimmer switches.

Also keep the search coil away from objects containing metal, such

as floors and walls.

3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo

(p.7-8) and Basic Operation (p. 9-11).

4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty

Batteries.
