Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker - User Manual

OWNER’S MANUAL
The Basics
of Metal Detecting
Your Fast Tracker Metal Detector is a MOTION metal detector; movement over
an object is required in order for the machine to detect an object and emit a tone.
The Fast Tracker has eliminated the two most difficult aspects of detecting -
ground balancing and target tuning. Both of these functions are automatic. With
only two operating knobs, you are on the Fast Track to finding buried treasure!
CAUTION:
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY:
• If demonstrating indoors, beware of interference from electromagnetic
fields.
• If interference occurs, the detector will chatter or beep erratically.
• To avoid interference, turn the sensitivity down, turn off lights and
appliances, or use outdoors.
DO NOT TEST ON THE FLOOR
Most floors contain metal, which will interfere with the target’s signal.
USE 9 volt ALKALINE batteries ONLY.
