Adjusting the searchcoil and stem:
Fold open the searchcoil� Disengage the armrest and stem rotation locks
to allow stem to rotate� Rotate the stem and searchcoil to level and release
the spring-loaded rotation lock to allow it to automatically reengage� The
searchcoil can also be locked at 90º to the left or right for scanning walls
and embankments� When the searchcoil is locked in your preferred orienta-
tion, reengage the armrest lock�
The ATX can be operated with the stems fully collapsed (preferred for
shallow diving), fully extended, or anywhere in between� To extend the tele-
scopic stem to the desired operating length, begin by loosening the bottom
stem nut closest to the search coil� Fully extend the bottom stem and tighten
the bottom stem nut� Then, loosen the middle stem nut, extend the middle
stem, and tighten the nut. The upper stem should be used for nal adjust-
ments to the desired operating length�
The correct operating length should allow you to stand upright (no stoop-
ing forward) and swing the coil in front of you without stretching or bending�
Adjusting the armrest:
To move the armrest forward or backward, open the armrest locking lever,
slide the armrest to the desired position, and lock the lever�
