SETTING UP
FOR LAND OR SHALLOW WATER
Put the headphones around your neck to keep them out of
the way while making the following adjustments:
1. Adjust the stem length and coil angle so the
search coil rests flat on the ground about 6
inches in front and slightly to the right of your right
foot (to the left of your left foot if you’re left
handed). Your arm should be straight and relaxed
with the handle grip held firmly but comfortably.
Remember, as you increase the shaft length, you
also increase the strain on your wrist and arm. The
IMPULSE is balanced for comfortable searching
in a tight semicircle around the front of the
operator.
2. Leave enough slack in the coil cable to allow
the coil to swivel as far as it can in either
direction. The coil wing nut should be tight
enough to prevent the coil from moving.
3. You should now be able to move into your
“search” position by leaning slightly forward and
raising the search coil approximately 2 inches
above the ground. Your arm should still be
straight and the coil should be parallel to the
ground, about 12 inches in front of your foot. The
coil angle may have to be slightly readjusted at
this point.
When searching on land or in
shallow water, keep your arm
straight and your search coil no
more than 2 inches above
ground.
