For almost effortless treasure hunting, the control housing is
easily removed from the handle and attached to a belt clip.
“Hipmounting” the 1280-X in this manner takes half the weight off
the handle and allows the land or shallow water Treasure Hunter
to search much longer without arm fatigue.
1. Grasp the handle grip rmly with one hand and the
control housing with the other.
2. Slide the control housing off the mounting bracket by
pulling it towards you.
3. Slide the belt clip into grooves on the bottom of the
control housing. This is a snug t and you’ll have to bend
the belt clip slightly. Make sure the narrow end of the
clip goes into the grooves rst and the short hooked
side faces out.
4. Unwrap enough of the coil cable to allow for searching.
Leave enough cable slack to avoid yanking the cable
at the connections to case & cable.
5. Slip the control housing onto your belt, left side for right
handers, right side for left-handers.
CAUTION: Hipmounting is not recommended for underwater use. The
searchcoil cable may become entangled with a submerged object, making
it difcult for the diver to resurface quickly in case of emergency.
Figure 3. You can hipmount your 1280-X by sliding the control housing from the handle and
attaching it to your belt. This reduces the weight of the stem, creating nearly effortless hunting.
