5. EXTREMELY TRASHY SOIL: May result in a constant
chatter or “snap, crackle and pop” with assorted,
hard to find “good signals.” The obvious solution is to
increase the trash rejection level to maximum.
6. DIGGING TOOL: If you’re carrying a metal sand
scoop, digging knife or screwdriver, hold it behind
your back or keep it above your waist. Your 1212-X is
sensitive enough (depending on how big the digging
tool and how low you hold it) to sound off each time
you sweep your search coil beneath it.
Very weak or no audio response means that it’s time to change the
battery. A single 9 volt transistor battery is attached to the inside
of the battery panel at the rear of the control housing.
1. Remove the battery panel by pulling the Nylatch
fasteners partially out.
2. Carefully disconnect the battery connector and
remove the battery. NOTE: There may be a rubber
band wrapped around the battery bracket to keep
the battery in place during shipment. This is not
required for normal use.
3. Attach the battery connector to the new battery,
insert the battery into the bracket and reinstall the
battery panel on the control housing.
