lar area around the position of the locator in which the erase
button was pressed. This circular area, referred to as the erase
zone, may be affected by the magnitude of the magnetic field
of the fence and the distance from the fence when the button
was pressed. In extreme cases, there may be a point where
you may have to press the Erase button again as you approach
the fence.
If you inadvertantly erase the object you are directly over,
simply move the locator to one side and activate the Erase
button and return to a normal search procedure.
Battery Replacement: Turn the power off. Unscrew the
thumb screw on the battery cover between 2-5 turns. Lift the
cover off until the tab at the rear of cover clears the slot it is
located in. Remove the batteries by raising the batteries at the
junction or contact point of each set of two batteries. This is
the point where the two batteries contact each other. You may
prefer other methods of your choosing. Dispose of the weak
batteries properly. Insert the new batteries observing the po-
larity markings located inside the battery wells. Install the cover
in the reverse manner. Do not over tighten the thumb screw.
Do not replace the batteries under raining conditions, whereby
allowing water to enter the battery compartment.
Dead Batteries should be removed immediately-especially
before storage of the locator. Dead batteries are prone to leak-
age and may potentially damage the locator.
Replace all six batteries at once. Never selectively replace
batteries.
In the event the “Low Battery” indicator is not displayed,
no visual indications appear on the LCD window and no sound
is heard after pressing the power ON Switch–the batteries may
be completely dead. Check the battery compartment immedi-
ately.
Personal Items: Your magnetic locator is not only sensitive
to buried magnetic objects–it will also respond to items in your
possession. Ferrous objects such as steel tipped shoes, a
pocket knife, some wrist watches, key chains and other
magnetic objects will cause false signals during your search.
