User’s Manual

To get the most enjoyment from your Metal Detector, we suggest you do the

following:

1. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

• Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

• Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Batteries.

2. Make sure the right knob is clicked on (i.e. not in battery-test

position).

3. Use your detector OUTDOORS only

• Large metal objects inside the home may interfere with the

detector’s operation. Floors and walls of most homes contain

metal.

• Electrical appliances inside the home, like microwave ovens,

televisions, and some light fixtures, emit electromagnetic energy

which can interfere with the detector’s operation.

• Do not place coins on the floor of your home and try to detect.

Try this test outside only.

• If conducting an indoor demonstration, hold search coil off

ground and wave coins over search coil.
