Two 9-Volt batteries are
supplied with the F2.
The batteries have been inserted
backwards in the compartment
for storage during transportation.
Please remove batteries, turn
them around, and install
correctly.
Use
ALKALINE
batteries only.
DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES.
To install the batteries:
1
Remove the battery cover by
disengaging the clip at the back.
Do not hinge door upward
; pull straight back
2
Align the polarity of the batteries correctly, with the positive "+" toward the
coil plug connection, as indicated by the + indicator on the housing.
3
Insert (2) 9-Volt
ALKALINE
batteries, with the contacts pointed inward, and
press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.
Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear the
retaining tabs.
4
Replace the battery door.
Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries, or
the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries.
If the detector does not turn
on, please check the batteries.
BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or
recycled. Non-Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California
all battery types must be recycled. Please refer to local municipalities for
detailed disposal and recycling requirements.

USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not included) improves
battery life, and prevents the sounds from
annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the
sound more clearly, particularly if searching in a
noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other
dangers are present. This device is to be used
with interconnecting cables/headphone
cables shorter than three meters.
SEARCH TECHNIQUES
(in DISC Mode)
Target Verification
After detecting a target, do the
following:
1.
Walk around the target in a circle.
2.
While circling the target, continue
sweeping the searchcoil across
the target.
3.
Sweep once every 30° or 40° of
the circle.
If the tone does not change
and the target ID value is
consistent as you circle the target,
you can be highly confident of
the target’s identification.
If the tone or target ID changes
as you circle the target, you may
have multiple targets or an
irregularly shaped object.
If the tone completely
disappears at different angles, the
target may be trash or a low-value
metal.
If you are new to the hobby,
dig all targets. With practice in the
field, you will soon identify audible and visual target feedback with
certain types of metal objects.
Pinpointing in motion (not pinpoint) mode:
1.
Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side pattern
2.
Take visual note of spot on ground where “beep” occurs.
3.
Step 90° to the side of the target
4.
Sweep coil over same area, at 90° to 1st sweep pattern.
5.
This pinpoints the target location with an “X”
COIL MOVEMENT
When swing ing the coil, be
care ful to keep it level with the
ground about 1/2 inch from the
sur face. Nev er swing the coil like
a pen du lum.
